I feel like the issue with Netflix's "The Witcher" stems mainly from the fact that as the tone of the novels shifts whilst the narrative progresses, the writers of the TV adaptation are still unoriginally rehashing the exact same "feel" they've created in previous seasons continuously (which may have debatably worked effectively in the past, but as events take a darker turn, the efficacy of such an approach grows increasingly weaker) - without understanding that the mood of a piece must evolve to suit the tale it's telling, as it's being told... And if one refuses to grow alongside the source material, that in turn equates to a stagnation - which is precisely what we're watching by this point; a superficial realisation of the books, visualised to the screen, almost as if it's a generic, unchanging style they've adopted, copied unthinkingly - in an artificial way - in a corporately made, mass marketed product, lacking the integral thing that makes any story what it is... Purpose, life & humanity.
