Realllyyyy? I really liked Season 2. I felt that the dichotomy between the game and the show actually compliments one another. I would have liked to see more Geralt, but I was intrigued with Ciri and Yennifer's backstories being filled in by the show.Hope the writing is much better for season 3 because 2 was terrible imo. Felt disjointed and a lot of stupid decisions and out of character actions lead me to believe that the writing team is freaking clueless for the most part.
There's also too much focus on background characters and I felt that Geralt should have had a lot more screen time. The other Witchers were written terrible sloppy. Bad ass Witchers going out like punks? And Ciri. Ok with Ciri. We get it. She's powerful. But damn, the writers can tone it down while still getting her importance across. It just seems way the fuck overboard with how they're pushing her over Geralt. It's "The Witcher" not "Ciri".
AndThe writers really fucked us over Roach. Total horseshit no pun intended. The fact Cavill had to write his own dialogue for Roach's death because the writers weren't going to do it speaks volumes on the state of the whole writing team. Cavill needs to start throwing his weight around and get these writers turned around quickly or have them shown the fucking door.
I could barely make it to the last episode as I was just bored beyond belief with pretty much the whole season. Netflix really needs to step the fuck in and get the writing room situated. I mean, the books are already fucking wrote. It can't be *that* hard to you know, stick with the books/characterizations without going off on wild tangents that totally betray the established lore of the character(s).
It feels like they're trying to make their "Game of Thrones" and just totally missing the aspects of the Witcher that make it what it is. I'm not even excited for season 3 at this point. They'll fuck it up. Sigh.
Season 2 was brilliant
Right...and yet...its one of the most watched shows on Netflix...making the witcher tv series was the biggest mistake ever made done yet.

Roach...yea what the fuck, I'm with you there.
I binge watched the entire second season and though you're right it was a bit disjointed I felt the same in Game of Thrones and eventually it all started coming together. We'll see if next season kinda ties up some loose ends.
I never played the first Witcher game. I know in Witcher 2 there were a few Witchers around that Geralt met. In the Witcher 3 I believe Letho is still alive right? I'm trying to pinpoint the timing of the show compared to the game. Would this take place at the same time as the first Witcher? There are flashbacks in The Witcher 3 to when Ciri was training, but it didn't really go too deep into it like the show did.
I didn't enjoy season 2 at all.
Season 1 was fine and somewhat entertaining but season 2 fell flat on its face.
Why signal out my praise over others?
Hmmm never read the books either. When comes to movie adaptations from books, I'm almost always disappointed. One really outstanding example was the Dark Tower movie. I wanted to choke whoever made the movie. However, because the books are so old, most people felt the same as I do. Ready Player One was another example.I believe the show events are all prequel to The Witcher 1.
I think all or if not most of the story of the books happens before the games.
What were your biggest criticisms? And have you read the books?
From reading online, it seems those who have read and are fans of the books are the ones with the biggest issues with Season 2 (since it strays from the books so much).
Having never read the books, TW:S02 was really entertaining for me and I largely enjoyed the show and the treatment of the characters.
Don't take it personally, I just randomly saw your post while reading the last page and wanted to make the joke.Why signal out my praise over others?
I'll be intrigued to hear your take.I really should finally watch this series and see if me not having read the books will leave me with a positive feeling towards season 2.

I haven’t read the books and I didn’t think season 2 was very good at all. Stupid writing and full of absolutely bonkers decisions where I found myself saying out loud ‘surely they must be joking!’ Or ‘fucking really?!’.I really should finally watch this series and see if me not having read the books will leave me with a positive feeling towards season 2.
yes it's one of the most watched show in Netflix.Right...and yet...its one of the most watched shows on Netflix...
Its all great fun. Yall take this way too seriously.
Sorry you don’t like it.yes it's one of the most watched show in Netflix.
The series was one of the most profitable too, but Netflix itself does not like to increase the budget of the series so that the series can get out of this bad situation. From acting, cinematographer, visual effects, writing, director and ...
these are the bad things about the series. it's not top-notch like a game, seems like a very low-budget tv series.
Season 2 was fantastic, all the hate is amusing
Season 2 was great. Screw the haters.
Facts.
As of right now, I like the show better then the games.
Lets not go too far lol
I like 1 out of 3 games. aka Witcher 1
The story was shit in all of them.
The gameplay got worse as the series went on.
The NPCs are some of the dumbest in all of gaming. Like PS1 level of dumb just repeating the same robot lines lol
So thus far.....I like the show better, I have zero issues with that show, I have like 1000x with those games, even the ones I liked lol
