Yeah. Better than 1.

That said, I haven't read the books so I don't know how faithful they are.

Bwtter than the first. More focused story, better production values. Story gets a little confusing to follow at tines, though the end wraps it nicely. Nothing amazing, but a solid watch for fantasy lovers.

Yeah it's really good and plot focused. No back and forth time frames like in the first season. I do wish the season was longer and we got some slice of life hunting monsters episodes though.

In general, how is this show compared to game of thrones? Would I like one if I like the other?

Quite good! Especially season 2. Early GoT is still better though.

I was surprised at how much less nudity and sex there was.

Gotta wonder if that was a covid-related thing or not. There was definitely one scene that if it took place in Season 1 would've had nudity.

Don't really know how well they translate to each other, but uh the political aspect of Witcher is very weak imo but the adventuring and banter is great.

It was good. Budddy who read the books said that they changed a lot of stuff and added in things that were not in the books at all.

We used to have empires ruled by emperors. There used to be kingdoms lead by kings. Now all we got are countries.

Yeah, the show is definitely its own thing. I suspect the later story will diverge by quite a lot with the way things are going.

But, to be fair, I think a faithful adaptation may be pretty difficult with the books from the story. It's one that I think would work a lot better in text than in visual format.

henry/writers said next season is closer to source already, could of been just damage control I guess tho with the dropping audience score news...

The best part of the season is really Geralt and Ciri's adventure

I still doubt they will capture just how Geralt/Yen spent most of the last three books being completely ineffective at achieving their goals, and how Geralt did nothing but pointless wandering until he found his goal by complete coincidence.

Some of the events like certain battles may occur, but the context and themes will still probably be pretty different imo. Even from season 1, they changed the context of Sodden by having Yen win the battle instead of Vilgifortz, which was how he attained his political clout and controlled the Mages.

I enjoyed s2. Lets see. I didnt recap or rewatch s1 and the acting still hit me in the feels because i really like season1 and it left such an impression on me.

Its gonna be a long wait for s3 for me. Ive heard each season is a book in the series. There are chronological and release orders in the book series. The videogames happen after the books and are considered not canon even though the games reference tons of stuff. I think thats how it is.

i have the 1st 3 books ill be reading though hehe. Hope more witcher books go on sale soon

Good to know 2 is at least as good as 1. I hope that I am not the only one who needs to read recaps to figure out what I just watched.

I enjoyed it, but was kinda surprised at certain parts, like killing off Eskel and Possessed Ciri slitting a bunch of witchers' throats. On the upside, Francesca is bae.
