All the costume design I've seen thus far looks amateurish and doesn't take historical cues from the books. Witcher is not a high fantasy look, it's firmly rooted in a late medieval aesthetic. Sapkowski should have gone with anyone but Netflix.
My guess is that Netflix approached him and not the other way around. I don‘t think there were many other options.
Based on the Nilfgaardian Armor vid...I...am forced to agree. Provided it's valid. That just looks...ah...I'm not really sure what I'm looking at. And the actual movement and action for the scene in the foggy forest was...hopefully...just a walkthrough of the the scene...maybe...?
I don't like being negative before I've actually seen the final product, but from a strictly design perspective, most of what I've seen looks more cartoonish and caricatured than "stylized".
Speaking of "not high fantasy but firmly rooted in Medieval realism". I am sorry, but this needed to be posted by me:
Carry on.
Carry on.

This is Temerian armor, apparently. Looks fine to me. Maybe that ugly black armor was used in some sort of test after all.

Looks.. Great actually. Reminds me of GoT's Golden Company, even Kingsguard a bit.
Godzilla was awesome. I have no idea what movie the critics were watching. Easily the best monster movie so far.
I thought the show was great. Best Sci-fi show in recent years. It has nothing to do with Blade Runner though.
I started watching that back when it first arrived here. My favourite TV show, The O.C., had recently ended (as in the final episode ever had been seen) and I was looking for a "replacement".
Gossip Girl turned out to be nowhere near as good as The O.C. had been, so I didn't watch more than maybe three episodes in total. I sort of remember the intro but nothing more.
I still miss The O.C. after over a decade...
This shows are the pinnacle of 10/10. I recommended to all of you. If you haven't seen at least one of the ones I will be mentioning. LONG LIST.

While dealing with issues at their respective jobs, Eric and Tami also face challenges in their family life with teenage daughter Julie.
Hmm, Henry is looking better as Geralt now, since the last teaser. Maybe the studio did indeed listen to the fans and adjusted his looks.
Both Yen and Ciri do not look intimidating enough, though. Ciri, especially, looks like she walked of a Disney set where she just played a princess. But... I am not too bothered by it. Let's see how the acting is first.
Just saw the photos Cavill posted on his instagram, and I like it very much. The clothing, the sword, the details at Yennifer and Ciri. Everything looks like it will be an expensive production and not just a quick "profit from the hype" thing.
I'm not concerned about Ciri, since the first season will be introductery, so I assume it is way before she became what she is now. At first I didn't pay much attention, but now with proper set photos, I confess it gets me. I heard they plan for the end of the year? That would be very quick.

Look at this picture. You can see the silver sword's pommel on Roach's left flank.
