(Spoilers) Netflix Witcher season 2 is really pissing me off
My connection to the Witcher universe ... game, Witcher 3, so I'm not very strongly attached to Eskel. I did note that his foray in to the TV series was left very short, which was a bit strange, him being one of Geralt's closest friends, but I can live with it. I can totally understand more knowledgeable fans who are pissed off, though. I enjoyed season 2 very much ... More on gamrconnect.vgchartz.com

r/netflixwitcher on Reddit: Why do so many people dislike The Witcher Season 2?
December 29, 2021 -
ALL SPOILERS TAGGED!
Why do so many people dislike The Witcher Season 2? I’ve played the games and read the books, and overall, I really enjoyed it. I’d give it a solid 8/10 for everything (pushing close to a 9). The Eskel plot I will admit was weird for me, I loved him in the books. I did enjoy though how they incorporated The Deathless Mother into the show and made her interconnect with the plots of Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, Nilfgaard, the Elves, and use that to explain the magical history behind the world (Conjunction of the Spheres), the magic system, and use it to introduce The Wild Hunt as well. I also like how she was based on the legend of Baba Yaga in Slavic Mythology.
The monsters and the fight scenes were also amazing. You can tell the cinematography, costumes, graphics etc have massively improved since the first season (the dragon from season 1 looked awful). I also loved the performances by Henry Cavill as Geralt, Anya as Yennefer, Joey as Jaskier, Graham as Djikstra (and performances from the actors of Vesemir, Coen, Lambert, Nivellin, Rience and Fringilla) and Freya Allen shined bright as Ciri this season (I enjoyed her story the least in season 1 and now she gets put into the spotlight to shine). I even enjoyed Yennefer’s story overall. It got a bit dark at times, but overall, I thought it was gripping in her character development from a power hungry (at times demented) witch to a more reflective and understanding mother figure (which will be shown in more force in the next season). It’s also better than her basically not being in it since she’s barely in the third book. I thought the introduction of the political scheming was good. The reveal in the last scene was great and absolutely necessary for the second season and not right at the end of the story (I can’t wait for more reveals in upcoming seasons). I enjoyed so many other things too.
Overall, I really enjoyed this season and thought it was way better than season 1 (I really disliked episode 5 and 6 in the first season and didn’t think the last scene was as impactful as in the books). I also got done watching the final episode of The Wheel of Time adaptation and I absolutely hated it with a passion! I thought it ruined the essence of the books and it left me bored and in a fit of rage. So, the second season of The Witcher show was a great relief and enjoyment (along with the new DUNE movie).
Is it just me who feels this way? If not, what were other elements you enjoyed about it? If there were certain things that you disliked, what are they and why (be respectful)? Btw I don’t have a problem with people who disliked it. You are allowed to like or dislike whatever you want, I just find it weird how many people on this subreddit appear to dislike it and I’m just not seeing it or feeling it. Last words: I understand that the books, games and show are ultimately different from one another. I so far though enjoy each of them for what they are.

Reposting my own opinion that answers your question from the recent very similar thread : https://www.reddit.com/r/netflixwitcher/comments/rqujif/comment/hqcxkzs/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=usertext&utm_name=netflixwitcher&utm_content=t1_hqg8imr In my own humble opinion, from episode 2 on, the issue is absolutely entirely the writing. I don't care at all however far they choose to deviate from the books as I personnally don't remember them anyway. But I could easily tell what was new plot because of the writing quality gap between the first episode and the others, just like there was a huge gap in writing quality between the adapted short stories in S1 and the made up subplot with the Doppler in brokilon for example. I think what the writers come up with by themselves is frankly amateurish, unfortunately. Ridden with problems from little annoying plot holes to huge ones that make their story basically impossible because of time and space, bad dialogue that leaves you perplexed as to why someone did that or said or didn't say this (and the reason is always : because it's required for the plot). It just feels like the sort of writing I'd expect in a random tv show, and unfortunately I don't watch most tv shows because of that. I loved season 1 to death, watched it all again recently, got me so hyped up again. Now hugely disappointed in season 2 because of this. You can read my post history to find more detailed arguments from me btw if you'd like. Outside of the writing though ? Everything is still as good or better than before. The casting is perfect, I love the vast majority of the acting, the show is beautiful. Except for the soundtrack which went from best series soundtrack I've ever heard and still listen to daily, to forgettable. Why the hell were Sonya and Giona not invited back ?

May 13, 2024 - Voleth Meir appears on the Continent after the Conjunction and is imprisoned by the first witchers. Geralt can’t defeat her, so he effectively gives her what she wants, allowing her to return to her home sphere and reunite with the rest of the Wild Hunt. But the Wild Hunt isn’t done with Ciri or the Continent yet. In both the show and Sapkowski’s fourth book, The Time of Contempt, the Wild Hunt believe that Ciri should join them. In “Turn Your Back,” the fifth episode of Season 2, the sorceress Triss Merigold uses magic to try to understand the origin of Ciri’s power.

The Zeugel is a sewer-dwelling tentacle monster, an exception among other monsters that live in the wilderness and mostly use human settlements as feeding grounds. The Zeugl is at home in the sewers, thriving on sewage and junk. Yennefer and Cahir encounter one in The Witcher Season 2, and Geralt encounters one in the first Witcher game.

Never read the books. Did play Witcher 3 two times. That said, I like the show. Some parts are just a bit confusing and some things move a bit too fast and could perhaps use more scenes/explaining, it's a bit hard to place locations and travel in this show. I think the show works best not comparing it to books and games. It's an alright standalone thing. But it could maybe slow down a little bit, I think if it were 10 episodes to pad out some stuff it'd be great.

The Witcher Season 2 Review — The Great Geek Refuge
February 4, 2022 - For the sake of not giving away ... season 2, I’m going to focus mostly on the union of Ciri and Yennefer. After a whole season of watching Yennefer desperately seek after ways to conceive a child, it was only natural to assume that the meeting of Ciri and Yenn would be a powerful and emotional one. However, Netflix puts a really odd spin on it, and definitely not for the better. Even if your only knowledge of The Witcher is from Netflix ...
