This series was overhyped. While the fighting sequences and sword play choreography were stellar in Episode 1, they stopped being stellar there. The writing, storyline, and CGI were more on par with a SyFy Channel production than they were for a GOT-level production. I might be even offending SyFy there. Except for Geralt and Yennifer's chemistry throughout the series, all the other characters were hard to relate to and develop any appreciation for. A few characters, such as Tissaia's magical prowess, were not fully realized and it was very painful to watch how all the bad guys just weren't so "bad" or merciless. Netflix needs to overhaul the writing, acting, and production if Season 2 is going to be a legitimate show.
