    I gave up on the show after the second season. Which is weird because I loved the first one. It’s Altered Carbon all over again. May it rest in piss.

      First season was mostly fine, but those penis armored nilfgardians…

      Second season completely undermined established characters’ morals. Yen acting like a 60s “irrational female character” archetype because “I want a baby”, Vesemir just being OK with the prospect of creating more witchers, the way they made Eskel out to be an asshole and then just killed him…

      Same, the first season was pretty faithful and really good. The second went off the rails.

      I understood the novels needed to be changed, if you stick to the novels, you would get 4 out of 5 seasons where Geralt/yen/Ciri aren’t even in the same room or ever meet up. It’s a constant chase that never has a resolution and they never find her. But they changed not just the format of the story but the characters. Yen betraying Ciri was insane and goes against her character and how she feels about Ciri
