careful with what You wish, the said female might not interesting and add more salt to the wound...
Eh, I don't care. Just stop with the flapping wang trend and I'll accept droopy old lady tits
Sweet hot girl nudity is just a marker that the show is (likely) writing to their ACTUAL audience, men. Not sure if Liam has the female fan base Cavill had (surely not?) but Netflix was smoking crack when they somehow thought chicks were tuning in to hear Ciri and Yennifer scheme and pontificate instead of seeing Henry shirtless frolicking with a nude nymph.
I anticipate a YUGE viewer drop this season.

Done first the first episode, absolute shit. Female nudity my ass. Milva is lame, other sorceresses are ugly, even fucking LESBIAN CIRI PLOT girl is ugly.

Who cares. Its a subscription system. As long as people dont cancel their sub's they can make these shows forever. You watching something or not...has zero impact.

Not anymore. With these types of shows costing in the HUNDREDS of MILLIONS, not even netflix can just eat those costs if no one is watching.
Was the whole show dumped, or is it a weekly drip? Seems like some reviewers have seen the entire thing.

I'd rather talk about the live action One Piece. The 2nd season looks like it's going to be great. 
Any One Piece games worth checking out on PC? The one I played on the Wii-u was not very good.

I dont understand this...where is the difference when you pay yr sub anyway? It doesnt matter if you watch something. All that matters...is you paying yr sub.

It's about ratings. If no one watches the show or it's a critical bomb it makes no sense pumping in millions of dollars into the show. Netflix has cancelled shows for far less than the Witchers middling viewership and critical reception.
The difference is a streamer only makes so much, so they gotta portion out their dev costs. A very expensive show that no one is watching is LOST money that could have been better spent on several lower cost projects that MIGHT hit big and thus increase subscribers or reduce sub loss.
Netflix subs have risen most years, but the % increase seems to be levelling off, and at 250mill subs I'm not sure how much more growth they can even have. Plus they are likely at the top of sub cost (my netflix bill is $36/mo or something like that).
so rather than SPEND SPEND SPEND to hit any and all audience to GROW GROW GROW, I think Netflix in particular has to transform to a sub retention versus new sub model, and that means making the shows viewers actually WATCH and keeping costs as low as possible. That 500 million spend for Stranger Things S5 isn't to attract new subs, it's to keep the ones they have, IMHO and they have precious few other shows at that level. Disney is feeling the hit with their super expensive, but relatively low viewer Marvel and Star Wars shows as you can see their sub base is fluctuating.
so Netflix is, so far, out of this pit but wouldn't surprise me to see them at a "Gain/loss" equilibrium in a year or two.
I think the heyday of massive TV show budgets is largely over as the sub model just isn't generating the money necessary to support it, especially across all the different services.

Yeah, thats the problem....it would make no sense....but they can do it anyway, because it doesnt matter financially (as long as you keep paying them).
