Anyone else having a hell of a time watching this anywhere near an iPhone or iPad?
It's worth the watch. I just blazed through it in 2 days thanks to it being REALLY slow at work. Episode 2 is when you're introduced to Yennefer, who is the real main character of the show.I've watched the first episode, and maybe it's because I know nothing of the source material, while the fight/battle scenes are great, so far the rest is pretty meh. I've give it another episode or two.
I am watching ep 3 now. My background with the universe is W3 only. But it seems this takes place about the time of W1 or earlier?
Ciri is much older than she was pre-witching in the games. I get that change in a live-action telling of the story, though, so I am OK with that change.
I am not a fan of Cavills look, but he has the voice and monotone down perfectly.
I am unaware of Yennefer’s back story. I don’t remember her bloodline mentioned in W3, or her physical issues. I am not a fan of the aging they are going with for her. My understanding is the Yen and Geralt go WAY back and that she is quite old. This is showing her to be just a few years older than Ciri, and Triss being considerably older. I absolutely did not get that feel from W3. I think this is kinda important since it goes to their level of prowess and their varying relationships with Geralt.
all that said, the show seems alright so far. Not at all in the same boat as GoT (quality wise), but good enough, still.

This show has brought a ton of light to the mountaintop scene with Geralt and Yen in W3. I bought W1 and W2 a while back but hadn’t installed or played them yet. I just installed W1 yesterday and plan on giving it a try this coming week.I'm through episode 5... I can see where, the more familiarity you already had, the more interesting this would be. Seeing how Yen and Geralt were bound and understanding why Ciri is important to them here actually fills in a LOT of questions I had playing Witcher 3... Having played Witcher 2, it helped in knowing who Foltest is, etc...
I will say that one thing this show does poorly is make clear when they are flashing back, etc...
Gave it a shot, sorry, it’s not good.
If ever there was a review that just screams, “I’m completely untalented at acting, at writing, at well most everything, but so desperate to appear edgy and witty, just so above it all, all while being completely jealous of those I wish to be like, I’ll trash for the sake of trashing because they’re everything I wish to be...” this is it.
the Bard was good. I was sad to see him part ways.TOSS A COIN TO YOUR WITCHER

It is open world like those games, but it more story-driven. RDR is probably a better comparison.had always heard of the game. saw it was only $15 for the complete edition, might as well check it out. enjoy stuff like fallout and elder scrolls, imagine it's similar.
