The first Witcher season was so captivating and exciting! We learned a lot about the characters, there were good jokes, there was an excellent plot, and the ending had a magnificent ending.
Fast foward to season 2. Lots of main characters felt very boring, Yenefer especially. I get that the character was dealt quite a loss; but, she just didn't wow me like she did in season 1, using magic or not.
They had some good action scenes, and I loved watching Ciri train; but, the story just felt rushed and uninspiring. Season 1, my wife and binge-watched in a weekend. Season 2, my wife couldn't get into it, and I had to take 4+ tries to finish the season and really wish I didn't.
I really hope they give us a good Season 3, otherwise I'm sticking with the games.
