Alot of people are giving this show low ratings and i understand why, the timeline can be confusing so those who havnt read the books or even played the games but let me tell you something you dont watch a series for 1 episode and then decide, you watch a season and then decide. i thing everything pans out at the ending of the season clearly enough.
I just wish it had at least 2 more episodes to show some back story on triss and yennefer relation and also on vilgefortz and cahir .
All in all they did a good job with introducing geralt, ciri and yennefer.
In book 1 you get to know geralt, in book 2 yennefer and ciri.
The show tried to show us all 3 characters in season 1 and they did a good job in my opinion.
One thing that i really like about the show is that it isn't boring at all unlike many other shows.
