The really strong point of Netflix’s Witcher is that they seem to pull from elements fans loved about the games and books. Ciri is Less Annoying Than She is in the Books But the end result is much appreciated – more onscreen time for ALL the characters, and more time seeing them interact with one another. Of course, some creative liberties were needed with the source material in order to make this happen. The show remedies that, allowing the main characters to once again rejoin each other much more quickly than the books allowed for. The only problem is that most of the first book of the series, Blood of Elves, features the main characters as being totally separated from one another. The Witcher show works best when the main cast is together, bantering, in the case of Jaskier and Geralt, or falling in love, in the case of Yennefer and Geralt. Netflix Brings the Characters Back Together However, much has changed in the screen adaptation. Generally speaking, it is based on the plot of The Blood of Elves – the first novel in the Witcher series. The second season is great! In fact, it is just as good as the first season, if not even better!īut does The Witcher season 2 follow the books? Kind of. Now, after having binged watched the whole thing, I have good news. I played the game, read the books, and eagerly awaited season 2 to premier on Netflix.

Watching The Witcher on Netflix kicked off a new obsession for me.
