It's good but could have been much better!

Overall the story seems to have promise. A combination of medival swordplay and chivalry with some sorcery and mythology provides an unusual backdrop where viewers will need to learn of witchers, mages, royalty, human and elf, and dragon, and all manner of monster.

I've not read the novels but find this story very hard to follow. It jumps in location, time, or both without notice. Much of this is for character development but changes occur without warning. Viewers will miss pieces of the puzzle while piecing together what is happening to whom and when. This all makes putting the storyline together hard.

While struggling you're way through the episodes of season 1 if you give your faith, memory, and a good eye you can find much of the puzzle and complete good portions of the picture. It won't be complete and the writers and/or editors won't make it easy for you.
