The Witcher: The Art of the Illusion (2023)
Season 3, Episode 5
Boring politics and a predictable no-twist
23 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Remember when the White Wolf was hired to kill beasts and it was fun to watch?

Remember when there was life in the writing?

Well now we have a boring ball with boring politics, boring 'reveal' repeats, predictable twists -

Oh, Geralt is not really jealous? Shock! Not.

Oh, it"s not Stregebor but Vilgefortz? Shock! Not.

Etc.

Ciri's probably been snatched by Vilgefortz already. I wish. That would at least be mildly interesting.

Tisseia is hopefully a villain.

I will watch the last three episodes, just to finish.

I knew something was very wrong when a teenage princess held a speech about bringing peace (yawn, I hear ya, Khaleesi...) and then slaughtering her kind 1 minute later.

And suddenly we have love again between Geralt and Yennefer, the writers too lazy to show why, instead making it a slapstick scene - not unfunny, but unworthy of the characters and the audience.

Bye bye Netflix come August.
