Yeah I even liked her when she was covered in the pigshit.I even liked 'Piglet' Yennifer, but that's probs because I'm a sick f**k.
I enjoyed episode 2 a lot more, with the focus on Yennefer. Though with 3 timelines going on it still gets confuzzling.I’m a couple episodes in... I don’t know WHAT the f**k is going on... but trying to hang in there..

I only f**king realised it was 3 different timelines in episode 4...
I’m like... “hey that’s that wizard dude from the burning castle... why the f**k doesn’t he tell the Witcher about the little blond princess hiding in the forest...”
20mins later I’m like....
I’m such a f**king genius...

Episode 4 is the most confusing yet. Massive jump ahead 30 years for one character, can they really not just put the year on screen. What the..why is someone chomping down on Queen Calanthe? I'm lost.
Lol yeah it does seem pretty nuts.
I can kind of understand why they're doing it because otherwise important characters wouldn't be introduced until the end of the season, but really feel like they could have done it in a way that wasn't so choppy and clearer for the audience.
I think Ciri's timeline is the main issue. Yennefer and Geralt's timeline could have been seamlessly intertwined but Ciri's really screws the pooch.
Maybe they should have just focused on Geralt and Yennefer in season 1 with the search for Ciri being the focus of season 2.
But this is coming from a non book/game POV so maybe there's something I'm missing.
I’m on board with this. Ciri’s story felt like an afterthought most of the time, with her just blundering from encounter to encounter. Very few characters in her arc got any development (looking at you, Dara).
Their time would have been better served focusing on Yennefer and Geralt’s stories, with the siege from episode one (and Ciri’s proper introduction) happening in the finale.
Yeah that's pretty much where I was thinking. Seems like Geralt's story intertwined a bit with that kingdom as well so the siege and subsequent deaths would have meant more (dare I compare it to Ned getting his noggin lopped off in GOT?).
Even having the siege in the penultimate episode and Geralt's reaction to the aftermath in the finale would have been better.
But now that Geralt and Ciri have found each other and the timelines are joined it will be interesting to see how they work season 2.
Jaskier is so annoying. I guess he's supposed to be but its unbearable. His singing makes my ears bleed.
Unfortunately I have to agree with the critics on this one. Jarring cuts with no transitions. Some poor dialog, and tone. It's all over the place. GOT used a map and good establishing shots to explain where things were in location to each other. Explained the political landscape and different motivations and threats. And used other characters to set up intro to other characters. It was all so well laid out. This isn't.
Pretty typical of a Netflix series, there is just no real talent in the writing and direction. Perhaps with the 200 million Netflix spent on David Benioff and DB Weiss they can lend them a hand with next season.
