They're getting a lot of book details right rich is really satisfying, but they're making a lot of mistakes in the directing and pacing. The acting is amazing, the casting is too, but it's all too rushed. Ciri shouldn't have been introduced until season 2, and all of the content from the first 2 books they tried to cram into a handful of episodes been explored in full. I can't imagine someone who isn't already invested in this franchise picking up this show given how rushed it is in the beginning.
