Apart from the main actor and the support actress all other acting is unmemorable and inconsistent. The writing and dialogs are flat and without adding value to the story, not to mention forced mysticism without proper justification. Directing has no original mark and tries to merge several styles which results in noticable difference in pace and varying quality. The show tries to be something it is not, like trying to top or level with other fantasy shows instead of following its own path. At the end, I must say I have no reason to hate this show, I haven't read the books and played the games, I just watched for what it is - and I knew something is not right from the start when Witcher and Spider creature dive out from a shallow pond like its 2 meters deep swamp.
