[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 7883763, member: 6801286"] I binged all episodes as well and greatly enjoyed it. Henry Cavill makes a fantastic Geralt and you can tell he loves playing the part. It has a bit of a D&D feeling to it (in a good way) and not so much Game of Thrones. It didn't have me hooked until episode 2 with the introduction of Yennefer. The quality of the show goes a bit up and down in the effects department. Most of the monsters look great, but some of the big battles really show the limitations of the budget in my opinion. Also, whenever we see the dryads it looks like they are just in a normal forest that is cursed with a persistent Photoshop lensflare. I don't like their design either. I'm also not entirely happy with the casting of Triss. However, the rest of the cast is really good, even if they may not resemble the look of their book counter parts. The plots of the episodes string neatly together and there are some nice surprises along the way (and some time jumps). I also enjoy the lore and mythology. I do think they mention a lot of things that aren't really explained in the show, such as the Conjunction of the Spheres. But perhaps later seasons will delve into that. I haven't read any of the books or played the games and yet I could follow most of it just fine. The only thing that can get a little confusing is all the various countries that are mentioned. Without a map, as a casual viewer you just have no idea where everything is in relation to each other. [/QUOTE]
