I watched an interview with director yesterday. She anticipates 7 seasons due just on the massive amount of content they have available, and said she has no desire or need ro create her own vision because the material is already good enough.

Also from. Watching HC I doubt he would be okay at all with going in their own direction.

He says his main focus is trying to give geralt his credit as having more depth with his knowledge and being more than just an angry grunting wrecking ball.

The only time they will take any liberties are with side characters from the books who really don't have any depth to their written story.

I will probably set an alarm.

Should be available at 3am EST tomorrow. Sucks there are only 8 episodes.

Idk man. I’m not one of these book purist I did enjoy the show and thought it has good moments and ideas. Showing soden hill was a good idea since it was never more than a reference in the book where we know many of our mage friends almost died. Making Cahir way too evil is a bad idea, I just don’t get it did they misread he’s not a villain. Changing magic and how it worked I’d guess will turn out a bad idea. To some good things they kept the general macro politics in tact, I liked they gave some clarity to yen’s backstory just wish they didn’t make her show in all but name. Ciri wasn’t needed in this season every scene could’ve been cut with her and made other ones better. Show the fall of cintra in season 2 or flashback. Geralt was perfect. The girl who played yenfri should’ve been triss. I liked they teased the series bad and even gave a slight nod for those in the know. All in all in felt like it was a collection of short stories pieces together as best as possible to give a coherent backbone for a show. And totally botching Geralt and ciri in brocklon and then the ending hug they ripped straight out the book end without a single hint of one of the most emotional book endings ever. I expect this season to be much better but way more complex. Not from how they shot it but my count they need to introduce at least faction wise more nilfgard maybe not emhyr yet, redania, kaedwan, kaer morhen, sco’atail, the lodge, way more temaria and the 20 or so very important people in them and I’m being on the short end.
