If you have not read the original novel and played the game, the first two episodes may be very persuasive, because the episode starts from the three timelines of the three protagonists, before the fate connects the three protagonists. , The audience cannot see any connection between them. It is not friendly to viewers who have not been in contact with the Witcher series before. Although in the first episode, he repeatedly emphasized that Geralt was Hillary’s fate with the help of the rants of Renfrey and Carrance before his death, but this emphasis was rather deliberate and far-fetched due to the delay in getting support from the plot. , Even viewers like me who already know the reason can't help but feel disgusted by this repeated emphasis. Similarly, facing a large number of audiences who have played the game, the difficulty of accepting this episode will be even greater, because the casting of the main character is far from the image of the characters in the game. Perhaps because of political correctness, the Baiyueguang Triss in the hearts of many players turned out to be played by a black aunt, and you can see how many people are unacceptable and abandoned the pit by browsing the comment area. Therefore, many people abandon the pit in the first two episodes, and those with better patience can probably endure Triss. As a fan and game player of the original book, I almost gave up the show, but I have to say that after watching all of the first season with patience, I am looking forward to the second season. The shortcoming of the first season may be that the director did not balance the amateur audience and the gamers, and adopted a very unfriendly narrative method for newcomers. But watching the eight episodes of the entire season, you will find that such a narrative method is inherently special. Suitable for telling "fate" stories. In addition, in terms of adaptation, the series selected several short stories that originally belonged to different parts of the original work to shape the character of the characters and explain the basic world view structure. From an overall point of view, because it disrupts the narrative sequence of the original, such an adaptation is not unbelievable, but it is also ingenious. From the inside of each short story, the loyalty to the novel and the game is quite high. For example, the dismissal of the vampire bird is obviously a tribute and restoration to the wizard one cg; Geralt was on both sides of the road when he was in the crypt. The settings such as wooden barrels and wooden boxes also make game players feel very cordial. In general, if you can watch the first three episodes patiently, and at the latest when Geralt meets Ye Naifa in the fifth episode, it will be easier to grasp the rhythm of the plot and the trend of the plot, and the latter part will be watched smoothly. . I personally think that although this movie has many slots, it is actually quite good, and I am looking forward to the second season.
