Yea, except for the beginning the first episode wasn’t the best and I’m sure it helps a lot to be a big fan of the books/games. But it still bothers me that the Witcher, especially in the first episodes, only seem like a side character in the bigger story. Just walking around in the forrest doing small errands for the nearby villages. 
Overall the best part of both shows are the visuals, with Mandalorian being the most impressive but with the weakest story and too many fillers. |
Yep, I'm talking about the Witcher. I see it was 1h1m long. And I'm not familiar with the books/games.
Just as a comparison, Game of Thrones first ep grabbed my attention right away and didn't seem contrived to me. I was unfamiliar with GOT. Maybe tough comparison, but same concept. I just don't think Witcher rooted itself well enough.
The opening scene of the fight with monster... dropping the sword, can't reach it, then reaches it... very, very contrived, and much too much time to do it. Still, the ending fight with the woman and her band is much more interesting and dynamic. Just not well rooted story in 1st ep. I'll probably watch the 2nd ep with the recommendations, but if as rough, I don't know.
