So, is Liam any good as the new geralt? Do we get to see lots of Yennifer? She was my favourite character but I feel like she peaked in season 1, then they gave her a dodgy wig. Is the plot any good now? I haven’t read the books or anything, so I don’t mind if they deviate, I just hope it’s coherent, you know? I’m not sure I really like Ciri’s storyline as far as I remember, and there wasn’t enough of the Witcher in the Witcher lol.

I picked up the series somewhat recently back in October of last year, and I absolutely fell in love with her portrayal of Yen. This was my introduction to the Witcher as a whole so maybe I'm biased in that regard, but she's perfect to me. Her eyes are so wide and expressive, and her skintone compliments the purple SO beautifully. I especially love the way they styled her in seasons 2 and 3, where they toned down her eye makeup a little bit. It really makes her eyes pop.

I'm beyond disgusted and disappointed by the racism people try to pass off as valid criticism of her casting, though ig I'm not surprised, either. Sure, the show has had plenty of issues, and I personally couldn't even force myself to watch the 4th season, but Anya is THE Yennefer to me.

Please help me find the fic! I remember that someone from the Jaskier family hires a Witcher (a cat or a viper) to kill him (as Julian), but when the Witcher finds out that he is THAT bard, he, of course, changes his mind.

Soo I was planning to start the series today haven't read the books and all js wanted to know if it's really worth it ??

So I recently paid my Netflix again and knew of the new witcher (actor) and had watched it all up till the end of the third season. Im curious however (without spoilers) if the 4th season is at all worth watching. This is not including the actor change, I dont really mind it in a way its more the storyline and also the style they have had so far, however if the actor change effects the show itself then please do tell, all in all is it worth watching the 4th season or is it a wash

Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this belt , found in Charity shop .

Recently watched season 3 pt 2 after hearing about tissaias death and ive jumped on the yennaia wagon. Does season four show any mourning or sadness about tissaia’s death particularly after her cameo?

looking for a tv series (preferably with multiple seasons) like the witcher that has a mother/daughter relationship like yennefer and ciri's. thanks!

I have heard season 1 is amazing but that everything else after that is terrible with only season 3 being decent. I really want to watch the series but I don't know if it is worth it to watch if only the first season is good.

Reading Reddit, Twitter, YouTube comments etc, it angers me how little people know about the actual Witcher story/books and confidently give criticisms.

The fact that people can say Season 3&4 are as bad as Season 2 (some say worse) and then say it’s because of it not being faithful to source material!

Season 1,3 and 4, whilst aren’t great, are not that far off the actual plot from the books whereas Season 2 is completely terrible and strays from the books.

So many fans love to just hate on the show because of the Cavill situation but then back it up with just completely inaccurate takes.

Some of the casting decisions aren’t great, some of the acting is poor, some of the minor plot points being different from the books are annoying, but as a book reader who just wants to see the actual story come to life, Season 1, 3 and 4 are actually okay to watch.

I’ll start by saying I hate the show as a whole because of seasons 2-4, but I’m rewatching it and I gotta say season one is phenomenal. I’ve read the books, actually read The Last Wish twice, and when you take into consideration just the complexity of the order of the books, TLW being what you’re supposed to read first and it being a compilation of short stories to introduce you to Geralt, imo Netflix nailed it with season one. It covers essentially all of Geralt’s short stories while still tying them together in a way that progresses the main story of Ciri and the continent. I also think it does an awesome job at encapsulating the dark, monstrous world that is of Geralt of Rivia, which is almost all due to Henry Cavil. Then yes, season 2 it starts losing that big time, s3 sucks ass, and s4 ain’t even gonna acknowledge that shit haha.

But I’m genuinely curious, why do people hate on season 1 so much? Like what did it get so wrong that the books have?

I know it could be anything but I strongly feel it'll be a dragon, because they are sentient and younger ones like Saessenthesis are already known of have actively engaged in human conflicts.

In fact that is the character I think they will introduce because it would fit the show's thematic focus also.

Now, before I say anything - I know some people like multiple storylines in the series: witcher, ciri and yen. If you like them, good for you! I will not argue that :D

But from my perspective: someone who read the books in original polish and played the game; the geralt and ciri stories feel "real", and the mages storyline feels "artificial". S01E01 is mostly about geralt which is great. But from S01E02 on, almost half of each episode if not more is about mages and yen. I'm saying "mages and yen" because it's not just yen, it's all the mages. This 50/50 proportion feels artificially blown up to me, because in the books or in the games, that proportion is drastically lower. If it was Something like 45% geralt, 45% ciri, 10% mages, I'd be fine with that.

It's cynical of me to say, but it gives me this vibe that netflix artificially blown up the volume of mages storyline to puff up the show and add padding, so that there's more screentime. Anyone else feels that way?

I haven't watched any of the Witcher series/movies but my husband recommended it watch Rats. Loved it. Of course I googled movie 2... yeah I then found out I'm supposed to watch Season 4 before watching Rats. Dammit.
