Just finished season 1. I would say it was a mild success, not as great as I would have hoped but it was still good, very good at times, and loads of potential to improve.
I was sceptical after the first episode but quickly grew into it, absolutely thrilled with episodes 3 and 5. Especially as they were quite iconic tales from The Last Wish and I feel the producers did them justice here.
However the following episodes I didn’t enjoy as much. I remember reading episode 6 from Sword of Destiny but was a little underwhelmed with what they produced. But the finale was fantastic and one of the stronger episodes.
Cavill as Geralt is fantastic, pretty faultless performance from him and also Yennefer and Ciri were brilliantly portrayed too. Where the show lets itself down is the poor displays from the non main characters and a story that jumps forwards and backwards in time which can make it a little confusing at times, though I fully expect this to rectify as we move away from the short stories into the novels.
