because it's on a dying streaming service

they actually changed the actor for this TV show, instead of leaving it completely, maybe the director really has something he want to tell the audience, I might give it another try.

How have they turned out so many seasons so quickly?

I don't know anyone who was able to make it more than 20-30 minutes into the first episode of season 4.

Personally, I stopped watching halfway through Season 2 when it was clear the show was no longer about the Witcher.

Henry Cavill leaving may have killed the show. I have yet to watch the new season and to be honest im not that excited about rushing to watch it since Cavill left.

They trashed it with political agendas and from what I’ve heard they even shunned and mocked the guy who wrote the books and his work.

The show runners tried to make Cavill pose naked too.

The game had the best writing, even better than the books. I am not sure who wrote the stories for the show, however, part of me wondered if they even read the book. Cast changes were the least of the shows problems. The same issue is found in most of the story adapted shows, Lord of the Rings being the biggest example.

Has there really ever been a good TV series that are based fantasy (Game of Thrones came close, but they stopped following the book by season 4). At least the dumb 90's TV series didn't take themselves serious, and had a low enough budget to justify bad costumes, unlike say Willow.

Also new this season is Laurence Fishburne, who joins the cast as Regis.

Season four is pretty bad. I'm usually pretty open to changes and such... but Liam ain't Cavill. It's like they did a season without the actual Witcher. They spend a ton of time doing backstories for characters I truly don't care about. It's kinda nice to see Ciri get a bit of solo screen time, but then it's so predictably bad what happens to her...

The Witcher Season 4 Suffers Disastrous Drop In Viewership on Netflix The Witcher was meant to be one of Netflix’s biggest shows of all time, and following season 1, that certainly looked like it might be the case. However, as the show evolved and new seasons dropped, it quickly became clear the series was in decline from season 2 onward

Will you be tuning in to watch the new season of Witcher?

I liked it but it was too gruesome. Regis was a nice touch. The magic war was great. And though Cavill will be missed with multiverses its easier to accept a credible approximation in Hemsworth.

Most people will watch it over the holidays anyway. And it came out November 1st so its way too early to make the viewership judgement.

Again cranking out a thread with no source. How many times are you going to make the same mistake?

But regarding witcher, yes, it was doomed. Netflix knows it as well, but they're committed to 5 seasons, just like amazon with rings of power. They should have just killed Geralt at the end of S3, to be honest. This was never his story anyway, and it would have saved them the trouble of replacing the actor.

But no, I'm not watching S4 or S5. I regret watching 1-3, but at least they had Henry. 4 and 5 literally have nothing going for them.

Well, it show signs of disaster since they try to write it themselves back in previous seasons. Never bother to watch ss3 so sure as hell won't watch this one.

Could've been great if it was faithful to the original.

They killed Roach.
