Season 1 was alright... super confusing and all over the place but it was alright. Season 2 was a Terminator 2 plot. Complete with child that can save or destroy the future and the strong protector to well protect the child.

I have to admit I've seen that same plot recently but done much better in a show called "Into the Badlands" that was cancelled. Actually Into the Badlands is just like The Witcher complete with magic abilities except the fighting and acting are so so so much better and also the plot makes so much more sense and well it was a much better show in general.

What gets me about the Witcher is that it attempts to be too much like Game of Thrones with the politics,war, princesses and kingdoms nonsense. Also the main character "The Witcher" himself is kind of 2 dimensional. This series just isn't anything exactly new but it has a big budget and decent special effects.

The problem I find with it though is that it has a terribly confusing plot that jumps around and well it becomes very boring at times. There are too many "talking scenes" which are mostly nonsensical rambling about magic kingdoms and politics (Basically it's like watching a congressional meeting live). Some of the characters seem a bit miscasts like "Yennefer" who just isn't attractive enough to play the role and looks odd when coupled with Jim Caviezel who is clearly a more attractive person than her.

You're kind of left wondering why is he so head over heals with a woman that looks a step above average when every other woman he comes into contact with is more attractive than her? It really is distracting because in the books and games Yennefer looks like a top model beauty. She should look more like Megan Fox since that's the closest person to how the character looks in the games.

Perhaps that sounds unfair to be so harsh but Yennefer's attractiveness is a good chunk of the main plot and story line and when they botch that it just seems weird. Especially when the men she mets refer to her as a "Great beauty" and they'll literally be standing next to a woman that looks better than her. It's kind of funny.

Not to pick on that character but other miscastings seem to be dang near every other character on this show. Some actors are good some are bad. Some look the part and some don't. It's such an oddly cast show for a series like this.

So far this is like a B-movie version of Game of Thrones with bad casting. It's not terrible but it can be overly boring. It feels like the best episodes are always the 1st episode and last episode of the season... everything else in between is like one long filler.
