This show released in the midst of Henry Cavill's exit from the Witcher series, supposedly over conflicts between the production team. Cavill is a known Witcher nerd with deep knowledge of the lore and the core messaging behind the source material. I would consider myself one as well. The way I see it, Henry Cavill may have played more than the Geralt of Rivia. He may have doubled as the Quality Control Officer.
This show fails in so many respects, but here are the bullet points:
1. This show does not appeal to the fans of the source material, including myself.
2. Acting and choreography is so poor that it wastes Michelle Yeoh's talent away. You can even see the resentment in her eyes, screaming "oh, no... what have I signed up to?"
3. Writing is so poor, leading to poor acting. The structure of the story is utter rubbish and rushed.
4. Set pieces and costumes are on par with Rings of Power. Extremely cheap looking.
If this is what they create without Henry Cavill watching over the series and challenging the production team, one can only imagine the disasters to come for the Witcher franchise.
