Another good step in the right direction for video game adaptations, but also another step back. I'm not familiar with the Witcher, the games or the books, but it's a pretty interesting world they've created. There's great fight choreography, good drama and acting and some pretty darn good production design. Henry Cavill is actually pretty good as Geralt. I'm happy Netflix is really throwing more money into quality TV shows. More fantasy series need to be made like this and Dark Crystal. The problem with the show is the timeline and the linear story of events made my brain go haywire. I just couldn't figure it out for the longest time and it was driving me nuts. If the story was straightforward and chronological, then it would have been much better. Events jump in time all over the place and that's the kind of thing that just takes me out of the series. There's also a lot of terms and plots to keep track of, and it's more hard to do with such weird names and characters. Dark Crystal, while having way more characters, is much simpler to follow. The show is kind of a weird intro to the world, especially if you're not familiar with it, and it seems like it was created without considering people who don't know The Witcher universe. It's a good adaptation of a video game, one of the better ones we've been getting, but it also has a ways to go to improve. Like Detective Pikachu and Castlevania, we're getting more game adaptations that are getting better and better. So far the best has been Castlevania. I'd see more Witcher, but let's get that story to be cohesive this time, and that way we can enjoy a decent fantasy series without interruption.
