Yeah,

Spoiler

It did strike me that as a bit weird, off character, so in the books, I didn't read them, just cliff notes and youtube explanations etc., he isn't bi I'm guessing, no?

Spoiler

Jasker is the most hetero character in the books and in the games. Radovid is kinda asexual in both the games and thew books, his partner (decidable) is a pure political marriage. The whole setup in the show is borderline bullshit.

As suspected then, in the games, I know, there was no hint, and I played the games multiple times, that's why it struck me odd, but I wondered, maybe. But now I know it is indeed bullshit and with all the idiotic changes to the characters' appearances, especially those of the witches.

Yeah, three episodes in and we're feeling the same. Who are these people and why should we care? Someone just died and we didn't care for the dramatic scene at all, but at least that leaves one character less to follow in this painfully unfocused plot.

Cavill is just about the only thing that's good about this. And what's with Jaskier now looking and even *sounding* like Tim Minchin?

My wife said they made him look like Tim Minchin and made his jokes/delivery like Eddie Izzard.

 

[Spyxos]

I have seen the first 2 episodes, wasn't that bad now, but I immediately had the feeling that they are cosplayers. It still looks pretty cheap.

 

[Majukun]

too many balls being juggled in these first 5 episodes, and not much being resolved either

Spoiler

also the wild hunt was a joke

 

[StereoVsn]

Season 1 was tolerable if not great, except for Cavil who was spot on. Season 2 was iffy and I noped out halfway. Not going to bother with S3 at all, especially considering how shit S4 will be.

 

[SegaManAU]

I loved season 1. I couldn't get through season 2. Maybe I should go back and push through it before S3 starts.

 

[Alex11]

And that horse riding scene, Jesus Christ, that was jarring, that whole scene was so cheap.

Don't know how everybody feels about this, but I really liked that Yarpen actor, I think his acting is really good, so charismatic and has such good chemistry with everyone.

Also, part of what made S1 great was the gratious nudity. Where the heck was that in S2....lol
On a more serious note, you could tell they were pushing the Witcher character to be a secondary character to Ciri even then in S2. The books do make her more prominent in the later books, but to me, never more so than the Witcher.

Yennefer too, it may be surprising to some but she doesn't have a prominent presence in the books as some would may think.

The story largely revolves around Geralt, and then Ciri.

Jesus, came across some list with things changed between books and the show, I think I need to become more of a glass half full kind of guy and be glad that at least Geralt has hair and kills monsters with a sword.
