Following the witcher Geralt of Rivia as he slays monsters and swings swords, The Witcher Netflix series sometimes feels more like it takes inspiration from the video game series than it does the books. This is felt even more in season 2 where there were comments going around that Henry Cavill (who plays Geralt) knew more on set about the source material and lore often than its own creators, inserting lines and giving opinions. I think that's fine for Henry but ultimately poor for the series at large. After the "success" of Game of Thrones, this and shows like it (the recent Wheel of Time come to mind, tho have yet to see it) feel more like large high fantasy canon that producers knew they could throw money at than they do true passion projects. The CGI and monsters in The Witcher are kinda cool, though the mixing of potions and herbs is done in a kinda lame way and I definitely felt the fight scenes fell a bit flat season 2, the first season was generally stronger all around. The plot is still difficult to follow, but I roughly knew what was happening at any given time. I'll probably still watch season 3 whenever it comes out but that's more because I'm a glutton for narrative punishment than it is an endorsement of the series. S3 UPDATE: I did watch season 3, and I must say, after the train-wreck that was the poorly received prequel mini-series Blood Origin I was not hyped for this at all and expected the worst, but I really don't think it's as bad as many are saying. The plot is still fairly convoluted and quite hard to follow and the CGI is pretty mid, but the pilot was probably the most enjoyable episode since season 1 in my opinion. The rest does go a bit too much into kinda lame, often predictable drawn out politics / drama, but that's the kinda thing that's hip these days so I get it. Set pieces and wardrobe are as impressive as ever but the majority of times the show tries for humour it falls flat, and rarely lands. Cavill leaving is likely a fairly big loss for season 4, but if you've come this far you're likely going to watch it anyway and I think the studios know that. If you've never started the series, at this point I probably wouldn't recommend, but if you're already caught up and are still interested in more, yeah... iiit's all content.
