For me it started with the recap of the previous season. It did nearly nothing to jog my memory. Rather felt like a trailer for season 2 which was entirely pointless.
The rest of the season was way too short. Every episode felt disjointed and all over the place. Everything felt mediocre and like they didn’t know where they were trying to go with this or what they were trying to say. Then the ending… Well, it feels like there was none. Just an odd episode that didn’t tie up anything.
Geralt of Rivia, The White Wolf has become Dad of Rivia, The Daughter-Carer.
It’s, I imagine, exactly what someone who knows nothing about The Witcher outside of this specific TV show, would want to see. Gruff-badass-has-a-heart-of-gold sells real well so it’s not surprising, just disappointing.
The writing took a nose dive imho. I barely got through the first episode, the dialogue one time seems like it’s been pulled from Duke Nuke’em, the other time straight from a soap opera where they keep switching places around and talk about their feelings. The actors left me the impression that they’re just going through the motions and gave up, and the story feels all over the place with no direction.
It’s a genuine talent Netflix has for the absolute shit scripts they push. The Frontier is another example of an okay-ish first season (it wasn’t a great show by any means but I was mildly optimistic) and then season 2-3 straight bad.
They dump all their money into making it look pretty and absolutely fuck all on writing. I’ve given up on them.
In the interest of starting an actual discussion, what don’t you like about season 3?

same with Altered carbon, season 1 was pretty dope, for the second season they hired writers from the CW for it, it was crap
