This show is NOT The Witcher. It is some random generic fantasy show with "The Witcher" slapped into the title to get people to actually watch it.

This show literally destroys every piece of lore we have from the books about the timeline of this universe. They also changed Ciri's origins/heritage, and absolutely butchered both Eredin and Avallac’h. They even somehow managed to throw in some stupid remark that makes out Geralt to be racist against elves.

Canonically, this show is an abomination that should be buried deep down where no one can ever find it. If you are even remotely a fan of the books, this show will infuriate you.

Taking away the bastardisation of the source materials, the show still isn't good. Dialogue is awful, unnatural, and clunky. Characters are shallow to the point where one of the main character's sister dies in front of her in the first episode, only for her to not show any emotion or care about what just happened. The plot is about as generic as you can get when it comes to a fantasy show.
