I guess you two are answering my last question - we're so mad at Season 2 that the negative verdict is decided regardless.
My point was that Season 3 seems to have pulled back and DID honor the source material much better, but I guess it was too late.
Yeah, fair, but I didn’t like the first season, either. Cavill was perfect, Joey Batey as Dandelion was… fine… and that is where the positives stopped. The show was a mess from the start and you can’t just erase those seasons if they did happen to do a little better on 3… and knowing that Cavill is out for season 4… there is just no point. I’d rather replay Witcher 3 again than ever watch another minute of that show.
oof, you just reminded me - Dandelion in season 3 was... not as good as Season 1/2. Even down to the detail that every time he came on screen, my wife demanded to know what they did with his hair. That, and the strangely unnecessary sex scenes with another male.
ok ok, season 3 wasnt perfect either. but I was "surprised" that the big events at Aretuza and the major events afterward all followed the book rather closely...
