Perfect way to start my vacation. Hopefully it's not a political BS propaganda that they were constantly talking about earlier... I'm hopeful though.
im enjoying it so far

So far it's been none of that and I've only got 1 more episode to watch, I've found it to be I'm wanting to see the next episode, I'd say they did a really good job.

I have watched the first episode. And for now I like it. I didn't have the urge to skip scenes like I did in the Game of Thrones. Few things that really popped out:
- Geralt. How Henry Cavill moves and talks like the game version of Geralt. I don't know if he played the game but they really made and effort to bring him to the screen. Characteristic sword fighting moves from the game. That really impressed me. The game was purchased and played by millions of players. It is good that the gamers were included as target audience rather than just random viewers. That was the great move from the production team.
- Blood looks like real blood. You wouldn't believe how rare that is in TV shows and movies.
- The atmosphere is sort of neutral. It is not authentic. But still not completely westernized.
One episode down seven to go. We'll see how it pans out at the end.
Edit: What I didn't like:
- Everyone is too clean with shiny teeth and fluffy hair.
- Geralt. How Henry Cavill moves and talks like the game version of Geralt. I don't know if he played the game but they really made and effort to bring him to the screen.

He said a while back that he played TW3 multiple times completely through way before he even thought of playing Geralt and after that he read the books, He's actually quite the gamer.

As much as I hate his greed. He and Leonardo Dicaprio invest so much time off the camera, into becoming their character, they really get it spot on everytime.
On a funnier note. Picture Henry Cavill in the movie Stardust, and then as the witcher
