It got better a couple episodes in. A lot felt forced, stiff, and didn't have enough suspension of disbelief (that magic touch). But it was good enough to keep me watching and liking it more as it went on. I didn't like the puzzle of events though. Can't wait for a fan edit putting events in sequential order. Just that thing that is hard to put into words. You feel it is all fake whether it is acting, timing, camera work, wire work, choreography or what not. Closer to Shannara chr...

I finished watching The Wicher at one go straight, so it is evident that it kept me hooked until the very end. Let me be clear about something: I am not much of a fan of these medieval sagas. But something about The Witcher struck me as different.

Yes, there are many flaws. The acting of the supporting cast is not very strong, the storyline is a bit obvious, and sometimes things happen too conveniently for the story to progress.

But the good things certainly dominate the bad thi...

Solid series. One flaw, that kept it from getting 5 stars, is how the show deals with the multiple timelines in Season 1. It could have definetly been handled better. I am looking forward to future seasons.

the timeline is the critical issue in this show. it is not consistent in the last two episodes how comes that after syntra distruction the girl spent more than 4 days walking around the continent while the Witcher maybe 2 days before the event I do not want to spoil. Dialogues are an issue too..: I do not like the millenial slang in a show that take place in a medieval/fantasy time. Donza.

Wow!

The Witcher was a thrilling Netflix series, with stunning special effect, superb choreographic fight scenes and a great cast. Henry Cavill wa awesome as Geralt.

Though I was feeling confused with the different timelines for each episode, I did understood why, and it finally brought us all to speed on the last 2 episodes.

Can't wait for series 2 to come.

I originally watched this in 2019 when it released and was a big fan, the world was captivating and interesting yet bleak and grounded. Such was my interest, I shortly after played all the games and began reading the books, now two years later and with season 2 about to come out I decided it was worth a rewatch.

On my second watch I wasn't quite as impressed, now able to judge the show both as an adaptation of material, characters and stories I was familiar with from other w...

I'm not big fan of fantasy movies or shows but I started to watch and it was pretty good. But then it came second season and it was terrible. Third is also not good and its more about side actors than Whitcher itself. Also it became another woke trash that I hope was not in the book. Also, except from main character acting is not good also, especially two women side actors. I gave it rather high score of 6 just because of first season, but otherwise it would be 3 or 4. You know what, just...

The first season was going really great. But by season two, they altered the story from the book so much and completely ruined this Polish piece of art.

Cast is the biggest turn off for this show. They completely changed characters for their political agenda which ruins whole atmosphere of the Witcher series and kills desire to watch this series. Woke propaganda in its finest shape! Sorry, but I don't want to watch propaganda, I just wanted to watch series of one of my favorite video games and book. This is complete abomination and crap. Here you get 1/10 ratings from me for ruining Witcher series for us.

The first season was pretty good in my opinion. It was not perfect because of the confusing timeline and some poor casting choices (Fringilla in particular). But at least it followed the story of the books.

But season 2 hurts. The writers of the show are rewriting the story unnecessarily, and it turns out much worse than the original material. Except for episode 1, the writers of this show simply do not understand what makes The Witcher world interesting. The Deathless Mother is boring...

The Witcher: A Captivating Journey Through a Rich Fantasy World

The Witcher has consistently delivered a spellbinding experience across its three seasons, effectively introducing a credible and realistic fantasy world where the lines between good and bad are often blurred. The series masterfully brings to life the rich characters, sharp wit, and stylish action that fans of the novels and games have come to love.

From the very beginning, the production d...

First season, kicked ass. There was a bit of time continuity issue in letting the audience follow the story. And while the swordplay action scenes were very well done, there was not enough special effects monster scenes in the show. But as to having a good balance of what a mid-evil fantasy world would be in the ways talking, interaction, social norms, debauchery, sensuality (sex, tits, & ass >tongue hang drooling< lol) It did okay.
All in all I'd give the first season a s...
