Refreshingly for a big-budget fantasy show, The Witcher will bow out with its story complete, rather than at some dissatisfying midpoint due to an unceremonious cancellation. And though viewers will be seeing a final season of monsters, magic, mages, swords, skulduggery and swearing next year, the final two seasons were filmed back to back, meaning after the evening’s shindig, that’s that.

Glad to know I can finish the show with a proper ending, whatever that entails.

I am not the kind who wants to stick to the source 100% or complains about divinations in the story. But the character’s core changes they made during season 2 were jarring and honestly heartbreaking. Especially in terms of Yen and Ciri.

If they followed the books we would have had a story where the main characters rarely meet up or interact as they all chase each other around the land. Not great for tv, so I knew changes were necessary but this was Luke skywalker in last Jedi level character changes, and Yen did things in the show that would be unthinkable for her to do in the books

Why bother? The show is dogshit.
