I doubt they will but they need to. That's a really good movie in the Bond mold but better than %75 of the Bond movies.

I read That the series is complete.

And the show runner said she has no interest going beyond the source material.

I think It’s definitely more for GOT fans
who prefer LOTR Over House of Cards.

Yeah, the book series has been done for about 20 years. Only thing he's added is a short prequel novelette story a few years back involving Geralt and one of the witches that gets whacked during the battle of sodden.

Also,

Jaskier’s music sounds like Panic at the Disco and I don’t necessarily hate it.

It’s super catchy.

I've been humming "toss a coin to your witcher" since I finished that episode. I thought it was shite when he first started putting it together but now I'm stuck with it

The visuals are incredible.
The acting is laughable.
The storyline is cheesy, all over the place, and mostly trash.

Very good for light watching. Will continue to watch more seasons but GOT 2.0 it is not.

Same. It caught my attention the very first time I heard it. Also, realized this earlier: Queen Calanthe is the same chick from The Last of the Mohicans and Maggy the Frog(GoT obviously)

For those wanting to play the video game trilogy, I would only bother playing Witcher 3.

One thing that struck me, the sets are extraordinarily spartan.

You’ll have a room with a bed, a couch. And a few candles. It will feel empty.

Compare that to GoT, where that same room would be cluttered with decorations and personal effects.

Visually, the sets in the Witcher look like something out of a play, compared to GoT, where the spaces look lived in and real.

The reusing of the same music and sound effects during fight scenes gives it a real video game feel

Watching Goblet of Fire on tv for a minute and none other than Triss Merigold on screen playing Romilda Vane



Why the f did they downgrade her in Witcher? She’s much hotter in actuality







Great rack

Eh I disagree

Cavill is amazing as Geralt.

And the stories are fun.
I found Myself equally drawn into it as o was GOT, but it isn’t GOT 2.0.

GOT is house of cards in a fantasy setting. At its best it was wheeling and feeling political intrigue. It shot the bed when actual armies and dragons had to mean something.

Witcher is more for LOTR fans who also like boobies and violence (not mixed together)

This is a video game adaptation, those don't usually go well, so it's practically Shakespeare from that perspective.

90% of this show took place on the road or in inns, where on Earth would you expect to see personal belongings?

The mayor's house and Yens tent both looked very lived in and had plenty of belongings, I honestly can't think of any places that didn't look lived in that actually should have (maybe calenthe's bedroom when she's lying in bed, but I didn't notice it really if so).

No it's not. It's based on a series of short stories that preceded the Witcher novels.
