Yeah, it has it's flaws, like Geralt's katana, cheap monsters, but it follows the books story quite nice, so yeah give it a chance ;) Actors are matched perfectly, especailly if you look at that Netflix's Yennefer or dead stare Ciri xD Here we can feel genuine bond between Geralt and Ciri, they don't swell from one point to another repeating "it's destiny bro, trust me".
Hmm watch out for the dragon in E4 :P
And admire the locations, it's all filmed in Poland, and when they travel the fields and forrests, I feel like home, the climate is mesmerizing ;) I don't know how they translated Jaskier's songs but in Polish they're beautiful and complex about Geralt's life, not just One liners about tossing coins ;)

Wiedzmin is a series based on a series of books of the same name written by Andrzej Sapkowski, who became known years later by the series of games The Witcher, that including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is my favorite game, Wiedzmin was very critical , because it has many changes in relation to the books, and it really has some senseless changes, like for example the Vesemir that is one of the oldest wizards in the books, in this series he is a druid, and they put an Old Witcher, I did not understand the change, the series has 13 episodes and each episode is based on a short story, has for example an episode based on the great tale The Ice Fragment that shows enough the love between Geralt and Yennefer (Yennefer never betrayed the Geralt, in fact she betrayed the sorcerer), the cast is contestable, there are actors who are well, but you see clearly the limitation of the cast, the set up is very bad, the battles are very problematic, the special effects are weak (remember that in the rie released the trilogy The Lord of the Rings had left too, obviously that the Polish production has less resources, but still), the soundtrack is good, the photography is good too, it has several landscapes, the makeup is more or less, Wiedzmin is not a crap, they say, there are a lot of problems, but for those who are fans of The Witcher books and games universe, they are likely to like it a little, and the end of the series is cool. Note 64
a witchman. and his ways. adventure. mysteries. and Michal Zebrowski in a dark, complex, almost strange role. sure, almost nothing new or surprising, a lot of clichés, tricks of fake Medieval stories, mix between predictable characters/ situations and the flavor of old form of adventure. but one of series with a precious status. to remind the shadows and words and examples of bravery so charming for the early ages.so, memories, magic and a dark character.
Is it good, no it's not. Is it bad, yes but not that bad. If you are fan of the franchise (books, games) then you should check it. Is it driven from the books?! Not really. Don't judge it too harshly if you read the books. It's nowhwre near the quality your imagination from the books.
It's not like a games, it's far worse. BUT, they are tried at least but not that hard, if you need your Geralt or Yennefer fix, watch it. At least try to watch it, it make me a smile at least.
I liked this series better than the Netflix version (2019). Made cheaply, rubber monsters and bad graphics. But made with love and watch interesting. Dandelion is shown to be truly a friend, not an annoying fly. 5.7 undeserved rating and should be higher.
