You noped out the exact same time as me lol. I tried man. The first season wasn't perfect but it was mostly fine, had potential, made me excited for the second season and what it could do with renewed direction and lots of feedback and notes.
What'd they do?
Completely ignored all the feedback, piss on the notes, and take a colossal shit on the original source material.
I can't believe Sapkowski spoke more positively of the show than the games....how could he see the show as faithful to the books when he criticized the games? Great writer, but man his opinions are easily swayed by money on offer, as evidenced by how he let the rights for the games originally go for a paltry sum that he later regretted.
This show deserved to be good. The books are outstanding, spot on dark fantasy adventures. The games are absolutely great as well, with Witcher 2 being comparable to Chrono Trigger in replayability for me, and that's quite a compliment from me. I can't wait till the dust clears and Cavill speaks his mind on the show's head runner and her.... interpretation....of Sapkowski's work. Should make for a good read, if nothing else.
