This show had some great material, especially in the early episodes. Then they moved away from the comedy in the middle of the season and it was far less interesting. The show picked up again by the end. The show was amusing but the mystery was a bit second rate. Not a bad show just really didn't live up to the promise after the strong first episode.

Would give this season a 7.5. Some interesting twist and turns but a lot of give me a break type moments as well. It isn't as good as the first season was, but it isn't the worst thing out right now. If you liked the earlier seasons then check it out. If you felt kinda meh about earlier seasons then I don't think this season is going to change your mind.

This review is based upon all the episodes of season 3 that have come out so far. I am a fan of the show, but it is struggling a bit this season. Feels like it goes in circles at times and the plot becomes a bit repetitive. Hopefully things move forward a bit more soon. Here and there are scenes that are total gems, but the pacing feels a bit off overall. If you liked the first two seasons no reason to skip the third. You just made not find the current season as good as in the past. Hopefully that changes in later episodes.

This show is quite good. The premise is fairly original and it is a good thriller. Great camera work. The special effects for the most part are good with a few rough spots. Overall check this show out. It isn't quite at the level of squid game but it is right below it and it is definitely worth watching. I consider the show a solid 8 maybe even an 8.5

This is a well done show. The acting, combat, special effects are all great. The one issue that I see is that the narrative may be difficult for people who are not familiar with the witcher universe to follow. I have played the games and read all the short stories. Most of the episodes are based on the short stories and therefore it was a lot easier for me to follow what was going on. In addition, the season contains time jumps within episodes without even making it clear to the viewer that is what is happening. This along with a lack of exposition about the world can make it difficult for someone new to the witcher to fully comprehend just how important some of the events they are seeing are to the world of the show. It would have been helpful if the writing had more world building in it for people who have no background knowledge about the witcher universe. The violence may be a bit too intense for some and this is not a show where people usually get to live happily ever after. All in all I think its worth watching the show and the more you learn about the world of the witcher the more it will all start to make sense and begin to click. I gave a score of 10. The show is worth a 9 but unfortunately you have people leaving zeros (there is no way a zero is justified) which just screws up the overall rating system
