that's because you are directly comparing it with the game when they are only interested in adapting the side missions ( for coin ) side missions is where the game adaptation ends ...

but of course i get your point

the show is adapted from the novels not the game. netflix said the event of the show precedes the event of the game.

Thank God I no download am, same thing with Mandalorian, despite each episode is not up to 40minutes, the shit is still boring as Bleep. I can't even finish episode 3...
Another Wu Assassins come to mind. Stupid fight, foolish story line. Boring boring boring!

Lol, That Wu Assassins have been laying waste to space on my phone for 2 months now.

I've been meaning to watch and delete but new shows like Watchmen and The Witcher are giving me headache seeing it.

His dark materials is the worst TV show i have ever seen cry

What do they take us for? Dishing out all manner of shit.
Is it Animal series or human series. The only interesting part is that guy with his insane mother, i like how he's trying to handle things.

people here are either overrating the show or underrating it. people who are dissapointed are those who got carried away by the hype. i have played the witcher game and read the book ( didn't finish the book ).

Netflix is trying 3 things here ... 1. their own narrative 2. the book 3. and the game side missions ...
if you are not a fan of the game and the book there is no way you will understand this series the first season, i understand what Netflix is trying to do.

also i agree with you the timeline is fvcked and the gap is too wide to make sense which is why i gave the series 7.5/10 ... it's a fantastic series still in my own opinion but the timeline Gap doesn't make sense as compare to the book.

i don't know what the fuss is all about, it's either people expected way too much from the series or they are not a fan of Fantasy at all ... just like the other guy said maybe part of the reason why people didn't appreciate this series is the fact that all episode was released at once ( for a fantasy series )

the series is still fantastic for me but saying it's better than Got is absurd!!


In fact if they can get the timeline right in season 2 it will be great, there is just so much to explore and this series has the potential to get renewed till season 5 ....

if you are a fan of fantasy.. IT'S A GREAT SHOW. it's 8 episode ( 1 hour per episode ) .. you've got nothing to lose ( except maybe your time ) ...

since this is holiday period, you've still got nothing to lose cheesy

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SPOILER

another confusing thing is when the sorceress said Jennifer is her best student, there is nothing in season 1 that shows Jennifer as her best student, if anything she's a failure in the series but if you've read the book you will understand.

maybe there still more flashback to explain how Jennifer came to be the best sorceress


SECONDLY

Cavil should be shown more in season 2 !!!!


again it's a very good series with its faults ( like Got )

The is the most plausible review I've read about The Witcher on this thread.

Those reasons are mainly what I too think is the problem of the show and also the lesser focus on Cavill's character. Netflix trying to do too many things all at once. I haven't read the books or played the game but I understand your sentiments.



Now, time for me to head to the show. I haven't even started watching it yet........

See review sef, which one be Animal series or human Series? cry

If talking animals is not your thing steer clear then. Seems you don't understand the function of the animals in the story that's why you're yapping.

I haven't caught up with the series yet but, I have a feeling you don't fully grasp the mural of the story.

.... I never thought I would see the day I will watch a complete fantasy series where the use magic won't be sidelined. Since Legend of the Seeker was cancelled, there haven't been another series like that. GOT wasn't it and completely different in what I wanted and what was given.

... The Witcher. Oh My Word!! Action from beginning to end with a story that was slowly told albeit in what might seem like a random order but in my opinion, well done. The writing was very good and the use of CGI was well done too. In this first season: every detail matters, every scene matters too. Skip even one and the show won't make sense. My goodness, those with magic never seem to age especially the Witcher.

... There is so much potential in the series and since Netflix have said that they want to make it their own form of GOT which I think the comparison is unnecessary, I have faith that the show will only get better. So many bonds were seen to have been made in this introductory season; the two that surrounds the Witcher is what interests me the most.

... The cinematography was awesome, and unique sound that follows the swing of the Witcher's sword reminds me of that of the Sword of Truth too – that dance of blades we have truly missed was evident in the first episode and hopefully more like that in the next season. For Fantasy lovers: the wheel of Time series and the Upcoming Lord of the rings series will make a brilliant 2021. I honestly can't wait. I will rate this season an 8.5. I loved it.

... Oh, I loved that Bard too and his Witcher's song. That ballad was brilliant.

No not contradicting. I'm stating my opinion based on numerous reviews I've seen online about the show. And mainly based on comments from the showrunner. Trying to merge The Game and The Books together in the show and the likelihood of trying to replace GoT.

netflix said from the onset that the witcher series will be adapted from the novels only.

so I don't know were you heard the showrunner talking about merging the novels and the games.

please I need a link.

I really hope it's not as bad as they say it is. Episode 1 was okay for me 7/10. Loved the fight scene at the market.

he drew inspiration from the game, yes. he even got the voice right.

but that's where the game connection ended. the game geralt has a scar, cat eyes and beard amongst other things

in the show, he's still young compared to the game where he's aged.
