The Witcher: Shaerrawedd (2023)
Season 3, Episode 1
5/10
Great actors, rubbish story
2 July 2023
The first half of the episode is perfect (ignoring the ridiculous storyline). The actors did great, they carry the show. The effects and scenes are superb.

In the second half, everything is ruined. The story of this show is rubbish - no doubt about it. You can see how artificial things become when actors are forced to speak ridiculous lines that push a certain agenda (Ciri's ridiculous monologue about the peace).

So sad. Such a potential.

Henry is great. Great acting by others as well. But, I guess there is only much you can do to fix a broken story.

Story makes no sense. It is a sequence of random actions. Basically, as a series of independent clips, this is great. As long as we exclude the clips that t push their ridiculous agenda. The part I so not understand is, why they do not use the source material. It talks about all the issues we care about today. From global warming, to inclusion/exclusion on all levels. But no.... They force some narrative in a ridiculous way.

In general, I simply cannot follow what is happening here. And, I read the books several time and played games.....
