OK, first of all to all the 1-star-raters: Seriously? Have you ever watched a bad movie? Watch Sharknado, then you know what an 1-star-movie ist.....even if you hate the adaptation, you have to take into account camera, editing, acting - everything. This is simply not a 1-star-movie. I do understand why some enthusiastic people give it a 10-star.rating, but again: seriously? There are some weaknesses in the series and what bothers me most is the inconsistency of quality. There are some really great scenes where everything fits: acting, camera, cinematogrphy, costumes, lighting....they are woth a 10. But then there are scene that really look like they have been taken from a cheap monster B-movie. The scene with the elven king in the caves....I thing most cosplayer would have gotten the better. There are some scenes that are just over the top tacky, especially when it comes to magic (the mages tower, Brokillon Forest). I have never read the books, only played witcher 3, so there was not much of a dissapointment hardcore fans felt. I think it was an above average show, but with flaws.
