The Witcher (Netflix TV series)

I had totally forgotten about this show altogether. I don't think I ever even watched season 3. Was it any good?
It's being released in two halves..
This new series is hard to watch but maybe its because of all the negativity but it does just seem to be going through the motions..

Hrmmmmm!


I sort of feel you can't move for SciFi Fantasy horror Superhero franchises at the moment so rather than stick with a property the next best thing can be found at the flick of a switch or voice command (yeah I'm lazy)
 
We didn't even make it through the first episode of the new series before having to turn it off. It was terrible, it felt like watching a pantomime.
Awful writing and really cheesy acting.
We trudged through the first two series during the pandemic when there was very little new to watch but now that there are far superior things to enjoy this just doesn't cut it.

An example of the stupidity that made absolutely no sense, Ciri is being hunted, Gerald and Jenny have to keep moving about the protect her yet Ciri goes to a summer faire with a mask you hold up to your face as a disguise.... THAT SHE DOESN'T USE.
By that point I was willing her to get captured just to make the show end. I think we made it another 5 minutes after that scene and had to turn it off.
 
We saw the first five and weren't impressed. The last three are just sitting there and we keep actively avoiding watching them. This is it. No more Witcher for us.
 
I just finished ep6…

What the actual h3ll am I watching?
I couldn't get past ep3..
In the vein of Where's Wally/Walton it should be "Where's Geralt"

I don't know if it's because we know he's leaving but this season really stinks..

Looking forward to Captain Britain though if that's a true rumour, he'll knock it out the park!

This season was lamer than previous seasons. Felt drawn out... but it had a few moments.
I did not care about the ending though. Did these events happen in the books?
 
Well I refused to watch this season, but from what I've heard they are just making it up now. Of course I'm just an American who is so stupid that they had to dumb down the story so I could understand it with my tiny brain. So I might not understand it, despite reading the books and playing the games... :lol:

Actually, I was kind of shocked how much this season followed the books when it comes to Ciri's story in the 2nd half of the season...
 
Just finished. On the whole, I enjoyed the show, but I also felt like the pacing was off. The desert episode...I dunno. I feel like that's an episode where you could hammer it down or split the focus some so that it's not just Ciri wandering and trippin' ballz in the desert.

And with the ending...eh...it just felt like they were treading water.

Kinda makes me think Cavill left because he got the sense that this story was just not going to have an end and they'd keep it going indefinitely, and he didn't sign on for that. I haven't read the books, so I can't speak to how faithful they are, and I still haven't played the third game, but my sense is that the show itself was slow-rolling things, and that irritated me.
 
Has there been any confirmation of season 4? My friends are obsessed with this show
 
I still haven't watched the last three. They're just sitting there. Granted, I haven't watched any modern TV for a long time because most of it sucks. Right now, we're going through Brisco County Jr. Who knows where we might end up next.
 
Last I heard, because of the poor reception of S3 and the WGA & SAG strikes, Netflix canceled S4.
It hasn't been cancelled, but production has been delayed until 2024.

That said, if they did cancel it, it wouldn't hurt my feelings. Seasons 2 and 3 were so bad, I only watch them as background noise when doing something else, and Geralt is only the start of their casting woes.

Hopefully, although I think we all know they won't understand why it all fell apart. They'll think the audience was full of misogynists and racists.
 
My wife and I really like Season 1. Season 2 was okay. This season... we're three episodes into it, and I think we're out. It's just boring now. I do not care about the characters anymore, I have no idea what the supposed conflict is intended to be, it seems like everyone is now written to be an antogonist, and the antiheroes are not engaging as characters. Not sure who the protagonist is supposed to be. Who am I supposed to be rooting for? Geralt? Yennifer? Ciri? Do they even have character arcs that make me want to root for them? It's all politics that aren't gripping in any meaningful way. Is Nilfgard supposed to be a threat? To whom? And why would we care?
BOOOORING. Shame, this series had a lot of promise early on and a lot of energy.
