Pretty sure it's implied that there are more of them, and the north came just in time to hold the line / not lose.

I never really understood why Mike Tyson was not cast as the lead in The Theory of Everything.

It's also supposed to result in a devastating loss for Nilfgaard that costs them the war.

Just 1 episode in, but Christ, Cavill fucking nailed Geralt. The voice and every mannerism is perfect.
That he's a big nerd and PC gamer as well is crazy.

I couldnt even finish this, and I really wanted to. The pacing and overall story arch are so utterly shit it makes it hard to even care about anything else.
And the black mage woman is maybe the worse actor I have ever seen and it literally makes me want to tune out.

Ok, just finished. I've never read the books or played the games but I'm a pretty big reader and a fan of these types of movies/shows. That being said...
His voice bothered me but i agree his character is the most fleshed out and interesting in the show. Yennifer isn't that good looking other than the tits but her backstory was wasted footage. It seemed rushed and slow at the same time. it would have been better with intermittent flashbacks for the first few seasons. The disjointed timelines sucked. For us that are new to the franchise it just made it more confusing. My other big gripes were the poor acting by so many people and bad camera angles constantly. Whoever directed this, other than the fights, had like 3 angles they use for everything and they suck.
Overall however i liked it. By the end i was onboard and hoping they give it a few more seasons at least. We need more wanton destruction by Yennifer. I need mage battles straight out of Malazan.

I don’t mind diversity as long as they are good, and capture the essence of the character.
Anya Chalotra did a good job as Yennefer despite being of Indian descent. She mostly looks the part and I think she did good of nailing the attitude.
Anna Schaffer on the other did not in any evoke Triss, doesn’t look at all like her, and didn’t do her justice although she had a small role. Want to diversity hire for Triss go for something like this...
Not saying to use Rihanna, she can’t act but go for someone that has red hair at least and looks hot (in my opinion).
Cavill just nailed Geralt, you can see he loves the character.
They did a good job with Dandelion/Jaskier too, I thought he was pretty good and look a lot like the Dandelion from Witcher 3.
The most fun I had with the series was playing Witcher 3 at the same time and seeing scenes that were referenced in the game. The Djinn scene for example is talked about in the game. So that was fun.
All in all I enjoyed it, not great but entertaining. Hoping season 2 improves and avoid the useless time jumps.

Whoa whoa whoa, American media doesn't do redheads any more. Hell they shaved Karen Gillan and painted her blue.

Not to defend the awful casting, but iirc her hair was originally described as 'chestnut' in the books and didn't become red until near the end of them, so presumably she dyed it at some point after the events depicted in the series, which occur fairly early in the Witcher timeline. Maybe Romilda Vane will look more the part with a red wig/dye job.
