I watched "The Witcher" series (the Netflix one ofcourse
). Well ... I'm not delighted, but I'm not disappointed either. It's hard for me to write anything specific, because the quality of the series surprised me. It's better where I expected it to be weak. And it disappoints where I expected good quality.
I basically have three complaints.
First of all - COLORS. Seriously, are there any tax discounts for desaturated colors in the US?
Secondly - narrative chaos. The editor was drunk? Three threads. Each in a different period of time. Who came to the conclusion that this is a good idea? Probably the drunk editor ...
Thirdly - references to fairy tales (Grimm, Andersen etc., yup, Sapkowski loved to refer to the classics in his stories), which were the strong point of Sapkowski's stories, were completly and violently castrated. I don't understand why. In the first episode, it was obvious to reference to Snow White.
TLDR:
Wonderful cast. Good music. I liked it, wants more, but after fixing the mistakes.
