Psalam Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 As the title suggests, what is your level of interest in the upcoming second season of The Witcher? Just in time for the holidays!
Guest Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 > I was disappointed in first season just like my Prince and Ivy. I hope second season would be better.
Grey Cloud Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 No. I don't know what Netflix is to be honest and I've never invested any time in anything Witcher.
Clea Strange Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I really enjoy the witcher series imo they picked the perfect cast for the characters. Henry Cavill is perfect as Geralt and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer is amazing in that role imo. I see some people complain about her as Yennefer and I honestly don't see what's wrong honestly. Freya Allan is pretty good as Ciri as well and any others I missed
Guest Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Not a big fan of the first season. But I loved books and games. I will give a go to the second series. (as side not I think the Nightmare of the wolf was pure crap.)
Slorm Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I don't have Netflix (I don't watch much TV). I have just started to read the books though which I'm enjoying, the English translation is well written and started a new W3 game

I have just started to read the books though which I'm enjoying, the English translation is well written and started a new W3 game I actually saw the first season before I read the books and I've never played the games. I can see where people who had read the books first were disappointed. There were some significant differences but I believe that they got the overall tone down pretty well. In many ways this first season reminds me of watching the Lord of the Rings. There were some significant differences, some things I thought were important were left out entirely BUT the movie was a faithful adaptation given that they could spend only a certain amount of time on it or nobody but the most ardent fans (like me) would have watched it.

That sounds like me with Foundation tv series based off of Isaac Asimov who I'm a huge fan of or Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson's Wheel of Time and the Tv series they are making or Dune. I'm afraid they will destroy it somehow and add unnecessary stuff or remove it. Sorry back on topic may I ask what you didn't like about the first season? Though I did like the cast generally I did not like who they chose for Triss

(and games and books are not 100% close to each other) So a "third novel" of the same character. And effects were quite cheap. But that is quite normal for a first series. As far I know the second series had a budget way bigger.

mma75online Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 I didn't watch the 1st and will not watch the 2sd, in fact I didn't watch any series the past 15 years, I only watch movies.
pinky6225 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 Speaking as someone that didn't like the games and never read the books i thought the netflix series was pretty good, is a bit confusing when they decide to jump around in time though Think its fairly common if you read the books of something to not like the tv/movie version as i read the lords of the rings books as a kid and hated the movies

I seriously doubt Collodi was into that. Let's stay on topic.

Though I think he needs that Van Dyke style beard, suitable for a Viscount de Lettenhove > You and I already discussed about this subject in one of my diaries. We agreed that H. Cavill is excellent choice for Geralt, but as DoctaSax says, his swearing was unusual to hear. He is not a swearing type or material. Playing Superman is his best role. As for Dandelion, I disagree with you. I think that Johnny Depp would be better choice.

More than once I've played a session all night before realising it was 7 in the morning At least playing Witcher I get to bed at a reasonable time (sort of 3- 4 am)
