As a big fan of the games and the books, this show confused me as well. The timeline skip around made my head spin a couple of times and I cannot begin to imagine how people that don't know the story made sense of this show. However, this is not a bad production. The first episodes fight scene is one of the best choreographed fight scenes I have ever seen. I can't say it's the best because the single take fight scene in Daredevil season 3 still beats it by a slim margin. But the most impressive thing about this show though is Henry Cavill's acting. He IS Geralt of Rivia. At first I didn't know if he had what it took to do justice to the greatest monster hunter ever, but I am so glad I was wrong. If I were to give advice to Netflix for this show it would be this: 1.) do whatever it takes to keep the choreographer for the fights and Henry Cavill in this show. 2.) Fire the writers and the producers and find someone who can actually do this story justice. 3.) recast Foltest and Triss Merigold. Foltest was one of my favorite characters in the series and I was very angry when he was murdered by Letho in the Witcher 2. The actor Netflix chose for this production is a downright disgrace to Foltest and was more like the Steward of Gondor than Foltest, King of Temeria. As for Triss, Netflix would have been better suited to have casted a piece of cardboard. The actress chosen was very stale and exhibited no qualities that Triss has. It was almost as if it was an entirely separate character with the same name. Not to mention Triss is red haired. As a man who favored, and still favores, Yennefer to Triss, I am even upset by how Triss was handled. She deserved better even though she played mind games with Geralt to get into his pants.

Rating 7.8/10
