See some people saying that season 2 was great, and it only started going downhill this season. How? The only good episode in season 2 was the first one which actually followed the books quite closely, and surprise, it's actually good. Was a complete dumpster fire after that.

Watching season 3 though, we can see why Cavill decided to leave. The show continues to careen off into its own direction. Spending a whole episode each on the conclave and Ciri in the desert, just to rush the rest of the season should've been seen as a mistake before filming even started. I give props to Henry, Anya, Freya, MyAnna, and Mahesh for trying to carry this season, but their backs are surely broken by this awful writing very far from the finish line.
