I'm really liking this the more episodes I watch. Cavill is a fantastic Geralt and the setting is great. Still not sure about the politics but I know that's a big plot in the books which they're adapting.
Finished it. Cavill as Geralt is great. For a show that had such a massive budget, the cgi really needed work. The talking dragon was yikes. Outside of that, the battles were great and the short stories were well adapted. I think it will find its footing as they move into the actual full-length novels.
I'm afraid to start this and be severely disappointed. After watching great television lately in Watchmen, Mr Robot and the Expanse I don't think this will be nearly as exciting. May wait til my high from those shows dies down haha.
Honestly, inject it straight into my veins. I really love it more and more as it goes along. I was very confused in the beginning and still don't know really what's going on, so much, but I'm enjoying the ride.
I LOVED this show, but I also loved the games, and know all the lore. I think it took until about episode 4 to find its footing and become really good. Cavill IS Geralt. Chalotra was great as Yen. I liked the comedic take on Jaskier (Dandelion). The 3 timeline structure was an interesting, and successful imo, way to give the 3 main characters each a story, even though they all happen mainly at different times. edit: the cgi was really bad.
Watched the first epsidoe and enjoyed it. I feel dumb for not making the Blavikan connection in the first episode despite having played W3 a couple of times Does Geralt just happen to call his horse Roach or is it specifically named after Vernon? I always assumed it was the later, which will make his eventual appearance somewhat interesting because the joke will go the other direction.
Triple post: I’m on ep3, and really liking it. Not gonna win any awards, but I wouldn’t compare it to syfy shows.
