I've watched episode 1 of season 2. Pretty good so far.

Variations in the Witcher reddits (big drama):

https://www.reddit.com/r/wiedzmin/

 

Book reader reddit, big outrage over the show not following the story, themes, and characters of the books

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/witcher/

 

Game reddit that also doesn't like the show.

 

https://www.reddit.com/r/netflixwitcher/

 

This reddit is extremely positive on the show to the point where the other two reddits accuse it of being populated by Netflix company accounts.

I watched Episode 1 today with an attitude of ignoring the books.  The episode is only vaguely associated with the short story.

 

Overall, it's my favorite Witcher episode so far.  It has the Witcher "tone" for the first time.  

 

The budget increase can be seen in this episode.  Ciri is so cute & pretty, too.  The actress that plays Tissaia de vries is a Milf.  The Boarman was good.

 

I think even book readers can absorb/appreciate the backdrops, and setting in order to enrich the short story.

The last 2 episodes ended up being pretty good.

I'm afraid that with the whole cyberpunk mess they're gonna have some delays....

They say first half of 2022: that means it's not going to be released before Q3 or even Q4 2022 (or maybe in the beginning of 2023)

Season 2 is meh... it's alright, but not what I expected from a Witcher series.

 

I guess if I hadn't known the Witcher before, I would've enjoyed it way more. It's still a good TV show, just not "epic" yet.

I can wait, my game play list is pretty long.

Fair enough, but she should try and take into consideration the feedback of fans. She's witty and I'm sure she genuinely enjoys the Witcher, but it's never a good idea to antagonize the fans (and she did distort the universe - at least from what I know after having played the Witcher 2 and 3).

 

Season 2 has improved the timeline, so there are good sides. But character development is boring, the costumes are cheap, Geralt is less interesting than in S01, the OST is good but still not epically good. And I don't like how they depicted Eskel and Lambert. Vesemir's depiction is alright (though I would've loved to see what Mark Hamill would've done with the character).

 

Of course, that's just, like, my opinion, man.

I prefer Ciri from the games. I dunno why... I try to find an explanation, but I'm not sure. Maybe Ciri from the game looks kinder, maybe it's her voice.
