Played all the games. Read all the books. I joked with all my freinds (who i pulled into the witcher series) that this show was going to suck. "Man they hired superman what a joke." Man im eating my words now (he did a great job). This show was great, only criticism is that mages are huge in this world, but not bigger then Geralt and honestly kind of wished to see more of him rather then the whole Yen training stuff (while it was still cool to see). But even with that i understand why they did it since most people wont be die hard fans and need to actually get to know the character. Will be watching season two.
