    Witcher :(

    And I’m not talking about the casting or other stuff. Just the general writing and conversion from books to screen sucked ass

      From what I’ve heard it would have been multitudes worse if Cavill wasn’t so passionate about the source, too.

      Yeah I never read the books or played the games. So when I watched it I thought it was kinda janky because they were trying a little to hard trying to stay true to the books.

      Then I later found out it wasn’t true to the books. Sure sometimes you need to change things to make a story work better for a new medium. But why is it so jank then?

      If they made changes but it worked really well as a TV show because of those changes I can understand. And if the show is janky because they tried to stay too close to the books, I can understand. But they made a janky show that’s not true to the books. I don’t understand!

        Some of the jank is because of the first book for sure. Doing three different converging timelines isn’t easy.
