If season one was a mostly enjoyable adaptation of the books with some creative interpretation, this season was a high budget fanfic. Viewers who haven’t read the source material might still enjoy it, but for those who’ve read the books you’ll probably be as baffled as me about some of the changes they made to key characters/story arcs/relationships. Obviously some changes need to be made when moving from print to screen but (without spoiling anything here) several key moments this season were so fundamentally different that it’s hard to see how they’ll tell the Witcher story faithfully in future seasons.
