It's a large focus of one of the books. Geralt is not the only character in the series. I actually really enjoyed Ciri traing at Kaer Morhen with other Witchers. It provides more background to Geralt's history than any other storyline.

Budget!!

It’s source material. They aren’t making anything up that isn’t in the books.

I am actually watching the first season for the third time right now... love it. I am pumped for season 2.

Still pissed about ugly Triss. But the rest pretty much rocks.

Looking forward to Season 2. :rockon:

Is the proper plural "Witchers" or "Witcherii"?

Toss that coin!!

Is it finally out?

Tomorrow. Can't wait. Just finished season 1 (for the third time) last weekend in preparation.

A lot of people seem to be rewatching season 1 since it's trending #2. lol

A bit of technical criticism, not regarding acting or quality of narrative.

It gets a bit tough to catch everything when the character you task with a lot of exposition is a new character who speaks in whispers and grunts AND has tusks masking his mouth movement.

I'd recommend captions for that bit.

I’ve watched shows and movies with captions now for years. It makes it so I can know exactly what they’re saying.

Or it’s because I’m getting older.

Yeah, I think even captioning is getting in on the overall narrative game, or at least the creators are collaborating on complex narratives. Often, even if main characters are speaking clearly, you find out with captioning that crucial little tidbits are being said by people in crowds or offscreen, that you would never catch even with perfect hearing and total attention.

So if I am watching a complex and nuanced show, like say Succession, I default to captions even if I know I'm following most of it and can hear and register most of the central narrative clearly.

Now just wait a ****ing minute....

Big S2 lep 4/5 spoiler...

After watching the first episode I had to go google how old the girl playing Ciri was... I was like... I think they just about showed us her boobs there...ok... she is 20.... carry on.
