It's really not that good. You can tell theres been a lot invested in it. But it's just...random. theres cohesion. I thought this would be something like a fantasy version of Vikings. Or even if it wasn't, its gotta be good if it's got above 8! Trust me this is a load of crap. The best episode is the last. Everything prior to that is just crap. You could miss an episode and still not missed anything. Even though it's not crafted clearly and can be hard to follow because it doesn't any hint about what timelines are, which is particularly important for those completely naive to the witcher franchise. Which is a shame. It reminds me of walking dead half way on its decline. You really wont gain much by watching it if you're clueless to the witcher. But if you're a witcher fan it probably is satisfactory. But is that good enough? The directing is crap. And the writing is just bizarre and untenable.
