I would take the writers who made "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" and have them write stories about the Witcher and his cuck bard friend going around to different towns slaying monsters getting drunk and banging wenches in town, this would be the weekly formula with a slow developing story in the background with the destiny horseshit not so in your face.
Take this
combine it with
throw in some women who you would actually want to see naked and plowed

The bard guy is called Dandelion in the game. He's actually the son of some high up noble but doesn't care about that shit. All he cares about is singing dumb songs and slaying pussy. He's awesome lol.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this show. all the stuff leading up to it, the showing of the cast and some snippets of trailers I thought it was gonna be dog shit. And for the most part I enjoyed it. When It was done I definitely wanted more.
I do agree that some of the shit in the beginning was a bit confusing with the timelines, but as it went along it started to make sense and it all came together quite well. I suppose they could of done a better job, maybe with a date at the bottom of the screen or some shit?

Didn't even need dates, just something that actually pointed out to the viewer that the times were different to begin with. The first time I actually knew they were different timelines was when the Yen side of things had the younger versions of the incest king/sister at the ball. I might have missed something earlier, but I don't think so.

Indeed. That show was damn amazing. I never really wanted to fuck Lucy Lawless in Xena or until Spartacus but she was one sexy whore. The others are obviously top tier fucks. The combination of gore, sex, and action was unmatched.
This show was pretty good. I also hope they do more of the weekly adventure shit because that is what will keep this on air. If garbage like Supernatural can stay afloat for over 15 years with terrible acting and stories, they should be able to pull a Hurcules/Xena here as well.

The first episode made a few very notable statements about time. "grandma won her first battle when she was 14!" Then, like 2 minutes into the scene change with Geralt and Renfri. "Queen Calanthe just won her first battle last week" or something like that. They were pretty careful about making fairly blatant statements of timeframe. "I've been attending to state affairs for nearly 3 decades"- Yenn with lady in the carriage.
But yes, a disclaimer would have done wonders. I was able to keep track because I had heard about it.

Yea first episode was spent nailing down the word salad of cast of characters. Wasnt even aware who what queen was which and when until the episode was over. Could have been done much better, but still enjoyed it.

Agree with this. Outside of it being telegraphed, the dragon being a good guy was dumb and him talking in his normal voice in dragon form was cheesy as hell. It felt like something cut from Kevin Sorbo's Hercules

Watching this with my hubby who was confused at the beginning with GoT and this is no different. The different timelines makes it confusing for him to figure out. After episode 2, I had to surmise what was going on, the importance of Frennefer and the girl in the woods.
I'm loving it. Hopefully he will learn to love it.

Yeah, agreed. But it'd be 100x better if they just did the obvious thing directors have done for decades -- text on the screen. "Five years ago".
Its like they've all decided they're gonna do it some artsy subtle way and it always fails. I can't think of a single split timeline movie or show where they refused to tell you "five year ago" and it actually worked.

Unrelated to the above.
Gold dragon episode was retarded in so many ways. I'm ready to let the dragon nonsense itself go as a filler monster of the week episode. But the relationship shit with Yennifer is so stupid. So far Geralt has given exactly one indication of even liking her - when he said she smells good (which is hysterical itself given the casting. They really should have changed that line. Its like if they raceswapped a black chick into the role and then kept a line about how fine and silky her hair was).
Now its all weepy "you've already lost her" "I'm so sad I cant have a baby" melodrama. I'd hope its the end of her screen time but from what I've read I guess she remains a main character?

I'm mostly curious what happens if someoen comes home and finds two different things he didn't know about at the time of the promise.
