Visually good, fun choreography, awful writing and terrible character development. The visual storytelling is an afterthought to the action scenes and production design. What a waste of resources if you can't even tell a story. I've liked Cavill's performance so far, Yennefer is ok, but the rest are unmemorable - I blame the writing not the actors. It should be widely known by now in the visual entertainment business that it is a cardinal sin to tell the story through exposition in dialogue - "show, don't tell" is basic knowledge! I haven't read the books, and I'll give it until the end of the season to see if the story makes any more sense, but I'll probably be done with it then. The writer needs a change of career.
