I'm surprised this is being rated so highly on IMDb, the show is watchable but has some serious issues. The quality is Very inconsistent where you have certain scenes really well done in terms of lighting and cinematography and others look unfinished and done amaturely. Acting can be good in some scenes and horribly awkward in others. The dialogue strong in some scenes and suddenly changes into something out of a teenage high school drama. Some dialogue choices are extremely poor And awkward I cannot emphasise this more, also Henry Cavill does a poor job delivering the F word everything he's in trouble feels so out of places. You suddenly hear out of place cringe dialogue that kicks you out of the immersion. The characters also don't have any unique personality since their character personality are all over the place without being consistent

The accents keep changing from Old English to modern to American to Irish to whatever, actors unable to keep a consistent accent. Casting is also inconsistent where Henry seems to be a good choice but many other characters for example Triss is portrayed by a horribly looking actress who looks like she is a crazed homeless hippy, Triss is actually an extremely beautiful red haired sorceress. In some scenes Yennefer is extremely beautiful as she should be and in others her makeup, clothing m and lighting is so off she looks like she looks nasty, in some scenes Henry Cavill looks rugged, bad ass and awesome and in others you can clearly see the fake wig and cheap looking costume, again very inconsistent quality of work. The soundtrack in some cases is well done but in many fails to capture the Slavic Dark medieval themes of the Witcher.

There also seems to be a lot and a lot of scenes with dancing in the courts like a lot of it! The creators seem to think that's something that needs to be shown a lot

The writing and story is poor but watchable. It's very unfortunate that this series was given to a team of writers and creators who have no interest and no background with the Witcher, I think Henry "likes" the games but that's not enough. A team who really cared would have insured every little detail of this show is done to perfection, Look at the quality done by HBO with GOT and anything they touch. Witcher has potential to be the best and most watched show Netflix ever had
