Witcher change up?

[wicked cool]

It looks like it took a major step back. I will watch but forget being gerault I wasn’t believing he was a warrior or a Witcher

First teaser of The Switcher is up.


The monster looks good and I like the action. I am not a player of the video games or reader of the novels, so I would be happy with nothing but standalone monster hunting episodes. Maybe I just want a Conan show ...

Ooh! Standalone monster hunting episodes in the world of The Witcher -- sign me up!

Granted, I don't think there's any way Netflix would do that.

After last season I’m less concerned about the switch. Felt like the show has gone down hill.

I found myself saying "who cares?" a lot while scanning forward to look for monster fights or Yennefer generally.

Sadly (for me), I'll agree with that. I think it did go off the rails last season. Lost the stakes for some reason and the sense of forward momentum.

So I guess change is good in this case because why not?

Yeah, I didn't even finish the last season... I just remembered that I'd gotten bored. I think for all that Cavill has experienced since then, no matter what, it was a good choice to jump when he did.

I've only watched the first season. You guys are making it sound like I made the right decision not to bother watching the rest.

Second season was pretty good, IMO, though I think there are mixed feelings on it. Season 3 started Netflix's pattern of splitting into two halves. Finished first half and it was OK. From what I heard, Geralt was hardly in the second half, but I never started it.

I can’t even remember if I watched the third season. I may not have finished the second.

Many cool things in series 3 that still make it worth watching. The Thanned Coup in particular. Seeing Tissaia cast Alzur’s Thunderbolt was pretty boss.

I don’t get the criticism of Geralt not getting enough screen time. The story has always been Ciri’s as well. Books and games.

Looking forward to series 4 in a few weeks.
