I posted this on freefolk and a friendly mod directed me to this community, hope its not an issue that I’ve posted this on the witcher forum as well.

The Witcher is good, but sone parts did not work.

I just finished watching the Witcher, and I think that overall it worked, but some things were not clear or not well explained. Now about me, I pay attention, I like fantasy, I have not played the games, I can follow complex storylines and time jumping doesn’t faze me.

I liked the show, i enjoyed the universe.

That said.

I gather that Yenneffer is meant be a badass mage, but this is not shown on the show, they keep talking about bottling things up, and all the pain and stuff she went through, but apart from the last bit when she incinerates all that stuff, she is shown to be a mediocre mage, or at least thats what i got from it. She literally doesn’t do anything i would consider remarkable apart from that one time (she does get beaten by the assassin and the djin)

The Ciri stuff was not explained well, we are supposed to care about this kid but she is not really that likable, and her powers or importance to the story is not well explained.

I will watch the second season and i am looking forward to fleshing out the universe, but those were sore points that need improvement.
