I finished watching it last night, and it does get better once the action starts to pick up and you're finally able to piece together the whole story from the "time warps". The time warps alone honestly take a full point rating off the show, if not more imho, because it's an artificial sleight of hand way of trying to create tension and surprise where none would naturally occur in a linear storytelling that doesn't have actual surprises written in. It can work when well done and there are clear indications that time has "shifted", but in this case since none of the characters ever seem to age, it can take you minutes of confusion to figure out that the show has suddenly moved into past/future mode. The show would have been far better if it simply stuck to a linear storytelling, dumped some of the side quests, and focused on more monster fighting, world/lore building, and less shity dialogue filler.
They have Geralt down perfect, the combat scenes are well done,and the monsters designs are cool, so there's huge potential here. Tighten up the writing, dump some of the clearly feminine influenced filler junk, and focus more on Geralt, the wars, and the mages, and this could be a great show.
7/10 for 1st season for me.
