I stopped after the first season, probably a good decision.

I should have done it too, but I made a mistake of watching season 2 which was abysmal. Then I recently made yet another mistake of watching that animated movie adapting the mermaid short story and man, I genuinely regret wasting my time on this shit. Never again lol

Trailer looks fine tbh, I expected it to be worse.
I can't remember season 2 only the it was a hot mess. Season 1 was fine but trying to hard to be game of thrones. Not sure what the final battle on S1 was even about, other than the producers wanting something epic.
What was S3 about?

Knew it wasn't going to be as good as the Witcher 3 but still gave it a try and thought it was alright in the first 2 seasons but the nasty shits in Season 3 ruined it especially since it ruined the characters. Might still watch season 4 if there's enough cool scenes to make up for it going in with no expectation after season 3 and probably won't even see it at all.

Witcher wouldnt be even my tenth guess if someone were to ask me to guess what that image was from.

I really enjoyed S1 and S2E1, then it went to shit.
Sounds like the show runner decided she is a better writer than Andrzej Sapkowski which could not be further from the truth.
Shame as the cast was decent in S1, big Henry nailed it.
Massively missed opportunity.

Why….why does a show in medieval fucking Poland have the representation of the shitty ass big city I work in instead of being something authentic to the time period?

What're ya buying?
That is supposed to be one of the Rats, and we know what happens to them in the books.
Bet they're going to make Bonhart into some kind of bad ass masculinised woman of colour or some shit, who's projecting her anger onto the world after her girlfriend was killed or something then end it by giving her a redemption arc.

I can actually push back on this one. The 'world' of the Witcher is an alien world, previously populated by elves, when suddenly there were basically wormholes that opened up, dumping in beings from many different planets. So humans COULD have come from across Earth and been stuck there, so racial diversity across nations isn't lore breaking. Now having multi-racial groups WITHIN nations is, as is the representation of the Elves who aren't even human (though since they can interbreed easily and are usually almost physically indistinguishable, not really sure what the genetic differences would even be), but it is what it is.
Obviously within the books pretty much everyone is white, but it doesn't have to be that way. Now this show just does the random mixing thing, which always feels forced and awkward, even more so in a medieval setting with limited mobility, all those ethnic differences would become homogenized within a few generations unless there were cultural barriers. It also just doesn't really represent how people distribute in real life, rarely is there a friend group with "one of each flavor".
I'll wait and see with this season. Liam as Geralt is likely to be the LEAST problematic thing about the show. I don't really care for how they have developed the sorceresses, that gang looks pathetic, and most of the political intrigue stuff has been supremely underwhelming. I feel like each episode will be just 5 minutes of each character the writers just can't let go, so it will be diffuse, unfocused, and boring.

It looked fake on Henry, not sure what you mean
The whole thing has always looked like hot garbage
Now it looks even worse

I'm not doubting your credentials as a scholar of Polish medieval history but could you point me to the history books where there were Witchers, elves, real witches and wizards in medieval Poland?

Meh, not feeling the new actor. Maybe it gets better during the show but I doubt it
This is not a great way to defend multi-ethnic casting as a lot of the stuff in the Witcher books WAS drawn from polish lore, and thus would reflect a polish regional demographic. The addition of fantastical elements does NOT invalidate visual authenticity nor authors intent. Many cultures have a surrealism component to their history that wouldn't suddenly justify adding chinese into a story about peruvian jaguar gods, for example.
But in the case of The Witcher, as I've already described, there IS a path but the showrunners just ignored it. Just like Westeros, there is a path there, but its ignored as well.

Why is everyone speaking English?
Because it is made for an english speaking audience?
What kind of boneheaded question is this?

As a witcher everything fan(atic), its gonna be so painful to watch, i will do it tho
Don't do it, bro, don't even hate watch it. Every sub and view works in their favor. Watch an episode recap/review on YouTube if you absolutely have to know what happened, even if just to ridicule it.

Netflix can't help itself: Tudum originally said Liam Hemsworth was contacted in 2020 — right after S1 — implying Netflix already had Cavill's replacement lined up.

I can see that Cavill was always close to bouncing. His distaste for the showrunners was right there from the beginning and had ANY of the projects he was tapped for; Superman, Highlander, Warhammer, actually progressed in ~2020 I'm sure Cavill would have bowed out. Season 2 (release 2021) was such a travesty I wouldn't have blamed him either.Netflix can't help itself: Tudum originally said Liam Hemsworth was contacted in 2020 — right after S1 — implying Netflix already had Cavill's replacement lined up.

Once the show turns to the Ciri power hour then Geralt is quite a bit in the backseat anyway.

Did they go to Portland and round up the paid mental patient "protestors?"

Really tired of all these shows where the cast looks like the 7 am shift at a Starbucks in Portland. Who enjoys this?
