    Yeah i’m sure she “considered” quitting for about two seconds. The Witcher is the biggest break she’s ever gotten, and Ciri is more of a focus than ever.

    She did get fucked by cavill leaving because it just compounded the horrible story choices. I really struggle to enjoy any of it after season 2 and the ratings for seasons 3 and 4 are truly atrocious for a show that started so strong.

      I love the Witcher universe, but the show was always kinda trash.

      The main cast, the wardrobe, props and world design were all great. But the story, direction and editing were never good. I don’t remember if I even made it through S2. I can’t imagine how bad things have gotten.

        I’m not really a huge witcher fan. I’ve played a bit of the first game and a big portion of the 3rd game, and i’ve never read any of the books.

        I don’t need the story to be canon, I just need for it to not be shit. So much in the show is visually beautiful and it definitely can be entertaining at times, it just doesn’t have the impact of other shows.

        I’m counting down the days for the next release of shows like Foundation, For All Mankind and Silo. I would kill for another season of Kaos or Wheel of Time, but those are done for good. I guess the closest thing I can look forward to for a fantasy tv show right now is Frieren.
