I finished episode 5 last night and I'm really enjoying it. Again, as I've said before, playing the games helps so much. Some people may be wondering what's going on with the owl, for example. I'm not.
As for female characters, in this instance, I don't give a crap, because outside of Geralt all the most powerful supporting characters ARE women. Yennifer could pretty much instantly kill Geralt or anybody else if she wanted to, and Ciri's powers exceed Yen's exponentially. It's not like they made Vesimer a woman or Lambert queer or some bullshit like that. |

FYI, if you want to know some monster background info:
There's also another Netflix short called Witcher - Characters of the continent that will explain brief history of the people in the show. |

Yeah, I agree that it probably wouldn't be as enjoyable if you haven't played the game or read the books. I thought it was very well done. Definitely agree with Fraz, they ****ed up Triss big time. And I'm also surprised at who they've killed off. But overall I thought it was really well done, and they clearly are setting up the rest of the story.

I liked the season but for me season one was a tiny better. But this season did some minor world building great. Just felt like her story was rushed.

Keep in mind that I wasn’t complaining of wokeness. Just reiterating what people are saying on Reddit about it.
I still think it was okay but I haven’t played the games or read the books. I’m going to do those now. |

Watched through ep 5 I think. Enjoying it, but do feel like I'm missing some things. Never read the books or played the game. Though I do have the first book in my pile of books to read.

I’ve got the first book and I own Witcher 3 on PS4. I just have to pick it up and play it.

Funny thing, Caville is supposedly a big gamer nerd and has played the Witcher game many times. During filming, he would tell the director about little tidbits of the game, that would be included in the series. The books are really good too, but I've only read 2 of them. |

Watched the final episode last night. I thought it was great.
Again, don't worry about idiots on Reddit attempting to woke hijack it. I'd be the first one to rail about it if that were the case. |

I think my only issue with this season is that I wish there would have been more Geralt but it’s whatever. |

Yennifer in the show is far more human and vulnerable. |
