It seems like incompetent woketards have a tight grip on every single franchise that is based on nostalgia or a well-known name and every single one of them turns out dumb, boring and generic. I recently watched the Witcher season 1, yeah, I'm not watching season 2.
Expected, if the first season of a Netflix show is so boring and forgettable I can't even imagine the horrors waiting for me at season 2 since it's almost a rule for Netflix to frick up the second season of a show. And thanks but no thanks, I don't enjoy watching trainwrecks
I thought season 2 was way better but still pretty shit lol remember when dandelion murdered that elf in his elf underground railway episode but it’s played for laughs the writing is weak and barely makes sense.
Also i viscerally hate the guy that plays dandelion he’s got a tiny mouth
I didn't like season 1 despite playing the games. Completely forgot about it by season 2 and never bothered watching. Despite being the target audience.
The show on its own is terrible. If you're a fan of the games and/or know the general lore it's much worse, legit one of the worst shows ever produced.
I wouldn't say that, I had just finished a full playthrough of The Witcher 1 right before it aired and didn't hate it . Maybe it was just the high of enjoying a new property, but think show wasnt as bad as they could've done.
Why would you take your friend's opinion over that of the author? If you can't make up your own mind, then you're not doing yourself any favors by reading the books.

Clueless management puts their "best people" on the franchise, the "best people" turn out to be all members of the cult that like every cult are very well connected so the franchise either bombs in which case they blame the chuds or it does moderately well because of the absurd amount of money wasted on marketing so management considers it a success even though it usually just breaks even. A fine example of that is the Wheel of Time that did pretty well on amazon, not that well though considering the hundreds of millions wasted and the fact that Reacher, a cheap as frick chud show, absolutely annihilated it.
They're in every entertainment medium, pumping out shit after shit. It wouldn't take much to make something better than these cultists, but they own control and must stamp out any chuddery.
Call me a conspiracy theorist, but i think they just add "diversity" to shows like this just so if the show flops, they can just blame racism and sexism. Seems to work as that's generally Disney's excuses everytime people hate the Star Wars shit they keep pooping out.
If you work at a big company imagine that lady (or occasionally, that guy) who gets to send company wide culture emails about equity/awareness/inclusion/kindness/teamwork/diversity stuff every Monday, and relishes in it. You aren't sure what they actually do 80% of the time, but maybe it involves frequently browsing reddit and twitter on the clock while being located in a hustle and bustle city.
I figure hollywood is just soulless big companies and they have an entire meeting room of that person who get to make big decisions about the movie except even more narcissistic and self important as a side effect of cocaine

In charge of some of the biggest cultural phenomena and paychecks
Their "Tolkien scholar" was a literal twitter they/them sjw. Not even kidding. The og Tolkien consultant got the boot, probably because they told them what they were doing was against the source material.

Lmao Witcher s1 was at least watchable. Witcher s2 is some mind boggling terribleness. It's so bad you can't even watch it ironically for the laughs,
I'd honestly tell you to waste your time and watch Season 2 just so you can be mad at BIPOCflix

I played the games and read the books. Didn't watch a single episode since a friend of mine said I shouldn't if I read the books.

Some are true believers who just want to btfo white men.
Some have the delusional belief that you can double your market by making a male focused action-adventure franchise female-focused instead.
