This sis the current controversy bait show. People hate it. People are luke warm about it. It's based on a series of video games which are based on the books. The people who read the books aren't happy because of the usual reasons. I don't know what the video game people are thinking, although the star of the show, Henry 'Superman' Cavill loves the video games so much he had to be in the show.
I read the first book and never read any more. It was Meh.
Everybody who has positive reviews about the shows says you have to get through the first couple of episodes before the show hits its stride. I hope so. The first episode is really ponderous. It needs somebody to punch up the laughs. Superman's main technique is to give side eye glares. And he has a massive stick up his butt.
The production quality lapses into TV show values. The sets, to my eye, look like sets. And for some reason, I was only understanding every other line of dialogue. The actors do have thick accents, but I also think they weren't mic'ed properly. It also could be my ongoing head cold messing with my hearing.
They do show one long continuous sword fight as the Witcher takes on all comers. And there is a giant battle scene.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
