THE UNDEFEATED
Wanted a place for discussion on Season 1 of the Netflix Witcher series.
I'd give it a 7/10. But, I enjoyed it a lot. There is a lot of good in this show, but the editing is a serious issue between the three timelines and the general pacing feels pretty rushed. We got through the first book and a lot of the second book in four episodes each. I think we could've spent more time, and made Ciri and Geralts unification feel more satisfying rather than lazy.
The highlight of this first season was Yennefer for me, I enjoyed her arc throughout these 8 episodes a whole lot. She had an arc where as Ciri kind of drifts from spot to spot, but Geralt does more; monster of the week and I enjoyed that. However, episode 3 showed some potential I think is misplaced. The moral grey of Witchering, with incestuous Foltest.
Hopefully, now that we've got the show off the ground we can have Geralt do more of that. Ciri doesn't need her own third of the show, she's a side-character. I hope season two and onward spends more time with moral dilemmas. Henry is a great Geralt of Rivia and I do like Dandelion. So, looking forward to S2.
