The white hair don't look as natural on him as they did for Henry. Not feeling the voice either.
But still will watch.

I was very critical with the recast, but won't lie, looks decent.

Not sure about the other seasons, haven't watched any, but right away I think Liam is a better fit for the role.

Looks like they lowered the budget a bit. I'm curious to know if they'll continue with the multiple storylines/factions or if this will bring things 'back to basics' of just Geralt, Yennifer and Ciri like S1.

All this show needed to be was Geralt roaming the lands taking on a new monster contract each episode.

A procedural show would have been fun. However, at the time this show initially released years ago, your ask for a procedural show would have meant that it either ends up on Paramount, TNT, Fox, Hulu (not FX), or a low budget venture on CW or Syfy.

Exactly, Netflix want their own Game of Thrones.

That's not really what the books are about, though. Ciri is as much a major character in them as Geralt.
No, all this show needed was writers and a casting director who respected the source material, not this dumbass Lauren Hissrich and her dumbass crew. Sad how that's too much to ask for across so many productions nowadays.

With Cavill it seemed like they bothered having a hint of eyebrows also dyed or tending to white and a bit more dark hair underneath the white ones to give more of an idea of harsh transition.
In this case both the beard is thicker and beard and eyebrows are quite dark and prominent making this look more like "white hairs wig on top" as if they were also trying to save money on makeup time. They got an actor that would just comply with whatever they did so of course nobody pushed back.

The outfit looks worse than what cosplayers can pull off, and the whole thing looks like it was filmed on a green screen in a basement. Yikes.

That was bad. I'm sorry, he is too similar to his brother, all I can see is B-Tier Thor. The whole setup is also stupid, in theme Geralt would have said something like:
"It's a wraith, stand back"
(Wraith shows up, of course much more powerful than anyone thought)
Geral: "Oh, fuck"

Then they picked the wrong IP. As much as people want to praise GRRM Game of Thrones is just your typical high fantasy minus magic with occasional sex or someone getting disemboweled.
Sapkowski's world is Eastern Europe + fantasy creatures + Dark Ages. Northern Kingdoms kings are busy fornicating and killing their populace in some stupid ass conflicts. peasants are busy fornicating and killing their kids when they are born because there are too many mouths to feed. Nobles are busy fornicating and thinking how they can screw peasants more. Priests are busy fornicating and once in a while doing some scholar shit.
Women are busy just surviving in a hostile world, sorceresses doing a better job than others but still finding misogyny everywhere.
That's the Witcher. Monsters were always an action element for the dumb ones, Sapkowski's message in the books was clearly that men can be way worse than monsters (which is also why Geralt refuses to fight intelligent mosnters that do not bother humans).

Liam looks good - better than Henry even but man, this looks cheap as hell, even cheaper than the previous seasons if that's even possible.
A trash show IMO, between the silly political correctness, bad casting choices, terrible, cheap cinematography and sets, bad CGI and so on so forth...
To be able to pull off an epic, medieval fantasy series like this you have to be either HBO or FX, with these shows, you just need the appropriate budget and Netflix is just not up to par.
What it could have been, so much wasted potential...

Haven't watched the show ever since Henry Cavil left. Probably will continue to not watch the show because Henry Cavil left.
Sometimes an actor is just perfect for a role and no amount of explanation or understand can make me suddenly accept and enjoy a role swap.

Dead serious. Henry is great in most stuff he's in, but I think I'm liking Liam more as Geralt.

There's so much crap in this adaptation, all that "Netflix-ification" with its checklist approach, but what I still can't forgive is Milva.
For those who've read the books, she's one of the most likable and entertaining characters.
And the actress they chose is probably the worst possible fit: she has zero screen presence, and even a random cosplayer could pull off a better costume than the potato sack they put her in…
And I don't even dare imagine what they're going to do with Regis.

His face expressions on these screenshots gives "I'm here for a paycheck" vibes
As much as I like Laurence, this isn´t Regis. Sorry

It already looked cheap in its first season. The photography and lightning was always badly wrong for the material. This and Rings of Power look like they're in the same shit world.

Only season 1 was ok, 2 was terrible and i turned 3 off on the very 1st episode, i have no intention of watching this with the same so called show runner in charge with her writers, what a waste of money and oppertunity, Henry was right to leave.

Quite a number of people who liked S01... I stopped halfway through the second episode of season 1. It was just too dumb, too far removed from the source material, too cheap looking, too disjointed ... You could immediately tell the showrunners and script writers didn't like the source material and couldn't give a rat's ass about staying true to the Slavic source material.
