I love the portrayal and I am pretty relaxed on my expectations, but I found two problems that got to me.
1) The flashbacks got me confused for the first few episodes. I eventually got the hang of them as I could make assumptions based on what I knew the story line should be, but they should probably make it a little more obvious to keep the viewers informed.
2) Absolutely disappointed in the music. I was praying for amazing music like the game but I got the bards hand me downs instead. Horrific Tragedy.
But the rest of the show was good. I am off to play The Witcher 3 again.
