Great fan of the novel as much as of the video game, I confess to being rather disappointed by the series. Despite a good script and quite successful special effects, the series lacks substance. I regret that the irreverent humour present in the original novel/game has completely disappeared to give way to a politically correct narrative. But what bothers me the most is the totally wacky choice of the casting crew regarding the iconic character of Yennefer. Why did they choose an actress devoid of charisma and not particularly pretty (even ugly) to play the sublime witch? With a prognathic chin, a big nose and an almost permanent strabismus, the Yennefer of the series does not reach the ankle of her video game alter-ego. Her soppy interpretation is also not up to the task and really lacks credibility. And that ruins everything!
