The Witcher’s interpretation of its original text offers up something new—and that’s refreshing, both within this story and for fantasy TV at large.
Sometimes it’s nice to just let a show cook, and The Witcher continues to make weird meals with its oodles of diabolical double crosses and inevitable “there’s a spell for that” moments that bang the story off in another new direction. (Seriously, there are portals everywhere.) There’s a bit of uncertainty creeping in, given the backstage drama of Cavill’s departure. But everybody else in this series is fully invested and really, really good.

Everyone who writes accusatory reviews, have you ever seen what's going on with black Ariel and other inclusivity The Witcher is very good in these realities
Report
Season 3 pays off much of the show’s early promise—particularly between Geralt and Yennefer, whose shared scenes could snap any second from the romantic and sexual tension.
If nothing else, this season, which has placed so much emphasis on the loving relationships between its core three characters, has distilled what made Cavill so wonderful for the role.
Overall, yes, The Witcher season two has a few missteps along the way with some questionable decisions and meandering storylines. But if you’re looking for more horrific monsters, riveting fights, and magical mysteries, then there’s plenty to love.
“The Witcher” constantly struggles to balance its dialogue-driven scenes with pushing the plot forward. It can be an exhausting show in terms of pace—every single episode feels longer than it actually is.
Alas, my destiny is to never watch this borefest ever again.
The first season was 6/10 and the second season was 5/10. So on average 5.5.

Fan of the books and games. This show is a big disappointment. First 6 episodes of season 1 are worth checking out since they more closely follow the first book (even though it does constantly time jump with no explanation) but I stopped watching halfway through season 2. Apparently season 3 is worse
Piss poor writing killed what could've been a great show. What a waste
