Witcher (Netflix)

I was surprised to find that there's not a thread for this.

Season 2 of the show is now available.

I haven't yet started season 2. I'm working my way through Season 1 again before starting Season 2.

Something I noticed while re-watching Season 1 is that there are a lot of dialogue hints to help piece together when/where various things take place.

I think the show does a good job of having subtle details matter without making it obvious that something does actually matter. In my opinion, that makes things feel more natural when they unfold. It also makes watching a season more than once enjoyable because I'm noticing things I hadn't noticed the first time.

I'm looking forward to starting season 2 and seeing how the story goes.

I enjoyed season 1 a lot, and didn't much mind the multiple timelines.

Season 2 is excellent, really upping their game and telling a more focused story.

And they did manage to to have a very on-point dig at the fans and themselves in one scene.

Just in the middle of episode 6 and I must have missed the dig. Then again I don't play the games.

There's a scene where Jaskier is talking to someone who keeps digging into his music. Aka a critic digging into the writer's choices

Season 2 monsters have been pretty cool so far.

I watched it, and was very well entertained.
It's been some time since I read the books, so I don't really remember all the details. I know that some book fans really seem to hate the changes, but the show story really stands well on its own and I feel stays pretty true to the world and broad character strokes, maintaing all the stuff that I enjoyed from the games and the novels.
And this season really gives us a chance to get closer to the characters. Ciri really grows as a character compared to Season 1 and becomes quite likeable.
