The Witcher Saga - Season 2 December 17, 2021

Ya I agree with that. I just remember being bored as shit during some parts of the later books. He introduced a few too many new POV characters a bit too late in the game for me to give a shit. Kinda similar problem to what we talked about with Expanse and Tanaka/Kit

if Erikson introduces even a single new character in The Crippled God that book is getting yeeted

[Krandor]

I will say that I am a big fan of the choice of Graham McTavish for Dijsktra. He doesn't get a huge amount of screen time but he's very solid casting

[Rhyis.]

only played the games. 4 eps in. is gud so far

Yo it's Erikson. Of course he's going to.

I'm on Bonehunters now and mostly pleasantly surprised with how many familiar people are around. But there's still new ass POV characters I don't give a shit about.

Still no chapters about my bae Anomander though

I am amused that the big reveal to close out the season is clearly supposed to be some kind of big shock, but anyone who has read the books or played 3 already knows what's up.

Overall I'd rate Season 2 as an improvement, but as previously stated you'll just need to disconnect it from the establish canon(s) and just treat it as it's own universe. By the second half of the season it's basically completely disconnected from the books.

[Tyrath]

I mean isn't that how big reveals in adaptations go? If you've read the source material you won't be shocked. I would've been more surprised if it was the other way around like the Eskel shit.

[Laugana]

I wanted more Jaskier than we got.

I’ve only played W3 so I’m not salty like the fans on Reddit, boy are they vitriolic about this season.

I also didn’t see the big reveal coming at the end, I’d completely forgotten about that aspect, in hindsight it’s obvious.

Wtf is that second monster that killed the Leshy??

They get to that, they introduce a couple monsters not seen before in the books or games

[Andalusian girls]

while i'm all for adaptations taking liberties if it results in a better product the major issue here is that the choices the show makes are almost always worse than those in the source material, and the showrunner explicitly promised not to do what they are doing

The Witcher showrunner and Executive Producer, Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, said of the seven season plan, “It would be a straight translation of the books… I think there's just so much material that I don't feel the need to start inventing my own to keep it going.”

idk thought season 1 half sucked and half was decent. faithfulness aside a lot of the acting / casting was mediocre and the aesthetics were kinda shitty. starting season 2 meow hope it's better.

Same, and I enjoyed season 1. Going through with season 2 now.

I am like maybe 20-30 minutes into Witcher 3 where you ride the horse into the first village. I really only use the game for benchmarking and stuff as I don't really play single player games.

I don't watch much tv or many series either, Witcher season 1 is one of my two favorites along with Loki... and maybe House.

You'll get some Witcher 3 hints this season.

Yeah I found out the horse's name was Roach That's about as far as I got.

[Krandor]

Geralt names all his horses Roach, there's never a specific one

[Dimmauk]

Me too. I love this show

Except when they're not his type.

[Tyrath]

I enjoyed this season a lot and I've read and the books and played the games. I don't mind the original storyline they explored a bit, we got some cool monsters out of it.
