This season is a great watch for those who have not read the books or even played the games. The cinematography is beautiful, the music is great, the acting is superb, the combat is extremely satisfying (think John Wick but with swords), and the story is pretty cool. Don't read the books and this is awesome.

BUT... as a lover of the books and games the last few episodes especially killed it for me. The plot is almost unrecognisable to the books and I don't understand why they've done this. The books are 'best selling' for a reason. There's a fan base for a reason. I'M DEVASTATED. They've butchered the Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer family aspect and that is unforgivable - a theme so potent throughout the books. It really does make me sad.

Knowing Henry Cavill is a massive fan of the books and games, I now understand why in an interview he highlighted that he has no control over the direction of the plot and characters. He was setting all us book lovers up for the disappointment because he too must be gutted.

Unbelievable.

Guess I'll drown my sorrows in the books again.
