During this special Spring Festival, it is actually the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I have time and mood to find a TV series like this gift! It took three days to watch all 8 episodes. Overall, it's okay, but there are also dissatisfactions. I haven't read the original novel, the game only played The Witcher 3 three years ago, and the plot of the game is basically forgotten. It is said that this TV series is based on a novel rather than a game, but in fact, after watching it, it is actually completely influenced by the game!
Let's talk about the advantages first:
1. The overall atmosphere, scenes, props, especially the music, feel completely in accordance with the game world, exquisite and atmospheric. Especially the music, as soon as I heard it, I instantly returned to the game world
2. Dachao's Geralt is really handsome, even a man like me thinks he is more attractive than the old man in the game, the white wolf
Now for the cons:
1. The casting of female characters failed, especially Yennefer and Triss. On TV, the real Yennefer said it was ugly, but it was obvious that the charm index was not as good as that of White Wolf's mother. This is too cruel, especially that The black face of the eggplant without makeup is really uncomfortable, Triss can't say it, everyone has complained too much, and it is completely subverted. A lot of people don't understand why the director did this. I guess, one is that the director can't follow the standards in the game even if he deliberately thinks about it, otherwise he would have become a porter for the restoration of the game. The second is the issue of funding. The more good actors have more scenes, the higher the price. The third is that protagonists like Yennefer are always showing their breasts and naked. It is really hard to find good actors.
2. The plot is messy, I don't quite understand why there are only eight episodes, and there are flashbacks and interludes. If you haven't played the game and read the novel and know the background, you will be completely confused. In fact, the three lines can be done in order.
3. The night scene is too dark. If I adjust the maximum screen brightness, it is still sloppy to watch. Are all outdoor or indoor oil lamps without moon and stars?
In general, I still continue to look forward to the second season, and it is best to change the actress.
