I gave up on the show after the second season. Which is weird because I loved the first one. It’s Altered Carbon all over again. May it rest in piss.

First season was mostly fine, but those penis armored nilfgardians...

Second season completely undermined established characters' morals. Yen acting like a 60s "irrational female character" archetype because "I want a baby", Vesemir just being OK with the prospect of creating more witchers, the way they made Eskel out to be an asshole and then just killed him...

Yen wanting a child was a plot point with the djinn in the book, so at least that was accurate

Not at the cost of betraying Ciri though.
