God awful movie! The dialog was awful. Plot holes were big enough to drive trucks thru. And, since Keanu Reeves can’t act

@sirtwist2 since Keanu Reeves can’t act, they needed a lot more action scenes for him to have pulled this out of the gutter!

Okay. This is starting to get into shape. The storylines are developing and got a step closer to be woven together.
The book reader part of me is still not completely okay with how they handled the source, but the author seems to be, so who am I to keep bickering? And it's handled well enough, when you keep in mind what their goal is (introducing the lore, background and politics of the book saga using mostly the short stories) and what they are working with. You can't magically put a lot of lore and a lot of short story in 60 minutes for three arcs without making sacrifices.
And like the three episodes before, I try to "rate" on the show alone. And tonight I had a lot of fun. I got Geralt and Jaskier being witty and sarcastic, politics and intrigues, battles and monsters, and the main plot developing. All packed into a 60-odd minute package that felt longer and not out of boredom.
Only downside is that you really have to keep up with the different timelines or you're lost. It's like Dunkirk in that sense :sweat_smile: But don't forget: We're still in the prologue. Have patience. It'll pay off :wink:loading replies

It's not handled well at all for those of us who don't know what their goal is and/or what they are working with. "They" could have handled the different timelines much better for those of us mostly unaware of what is going on. I played some of the game and read one of the books and still don't know what is going on.

Best episode so far. I liked the different setting for him.
This episode unconfused things. Now we know that many of these arcs take place in different times. Ciri is the girl Geralt accidentally claimed as has prize.

@anthoney65 Unless I'm missing something, I didn't get any of that, especially that Ciri is the girl Geralt claimed. It's not at all clear that these are different time lines!
8 episodes would have been enough. No need for a second season.

@tass22 I noticed you watched all the episodes, couldn't have been that bad! I'm curious to see what the second season entails. I liked the show well enough, not the best show I've ever seen but certainly not even close to the worst. I would have liked Nick to be more involved, he didn't really do anything, very little police work on his part, mostly just following others.
