Not sure if the wife will be on board with watching it with me, but she might dig it. To someone without source material knowledge, it will be some weird mix of GoT, LotR, and Van Helsing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to try to read the first book before I watch the series but I don't know if I'll be able to hold off if there are spoilers everywhere. lol My partner watches lots of fantasy shows with me.

Jakuvious Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I'm two episodes in. Gotta call it a night so I'll probably stop there for now. Definitely enjoying it so far. Couple of the characters have been spot on. Cavill is a great Geralt. Yen and Ciri seem well cast so far, though definitely need more time with each. Dandelion is....Dandelion. Fight scene in episode one was absolutely fantastic. Daredevil levels of exciting, to me. Some good introductions to the world. Characters are a little directionless so far, is the one criticism I might make, but it's still early and they're still introducing everything. I guess Geralt's plot in episode two was a little eh, but he wasn't the focus of the episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started episode 1, and it's following the first book so far (one of the stories within, at least). I haven't finished the first book, nor have I finished the games, but I do have some knowledge of the universe, along with a lot more due to the Gwent game.

kingseanjohn Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 As someone who hasn’t read the books or played the games, is it worth a watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got to the point where it wasn't even in doubt whether or not I would win anymore and that the only doubt was whether or not I could top my high score. I remember I calculated how many points it was possible to score in a game of Gwent and I got a bit obsessive over trying to get there. I would spend wayyyyy too much time playing over and over again with certain shopkeepers who had those spy cards. Anybody who played that game without those spy cards doesn't know how to play that game. Anyhoo, as far as the series, I want to give it a shot, but looking at those reviews... Eesh. They're supposed to be taking it easy on the whole agenda, and for those reviews to be as brutal as they've been I'm not sure there's a point in watching it.

RuskieTitan Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 I'm talking about the stand-alone Gwent game that was made by CD Projekt Red. Still on episode 1, but man, the marketplace scene was so well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
