I played "The Witcher 3" and never read a novel. I watched this show with my wife. She has never dabbled in any novel or game. After watching, we felt that the multi-line narrative of the show was a bit confusing, which made my wife who knows nothing about the wizarding world look confused, and that I had played the game was rather messy. So many countries, characters, races, stances, ages, and motivations are not clearly explained by the screenwriters. It is not wise to start playing multi-line narratives.
In fact, there are two main lines in this play. One is about Geralt, Yenafa, and Xili's life experience before Sintra is breached; the other is about Xili's escape after Sintra is breached. After the two lines intersected at the Battle of Sotzan, Geralt and Hilli reunited in the forest. Obviously, the purpose of the multi-line narrative is to let Geralt and Hilly have a fateful encounter, and the father and daughter are reunited. But after watching the whole play, the relationship between the two people is not very close, and there is no feeling that fate is intertwined with you. It may be that Ye Naifah's too many scenes have caused Geralt and Xili's scenes to decrease, and there is no more room to describe the fetters of the father and daughter.
Besides, Ye Naifa's play is very confusing although there are many. Judging from the TV series alone, I can't see that Ye Naifa is a grandmother who is dozens of years old. I think she is just a female warlock who went to the academy to study for a few months, got a facelift, and suddenly became very powerful. The Middle Ages did not change much after hundreds of years. Unlike modern dramas, which changed in the past 10 years, the world was turned upside down. The era was not clearly stated in the drama, and it was thought that a few years had passed. In the previous episode, I lost my fertility in order to become beautiful, and the next episode I wanted to have a baby to catch the Djinn, it became too fast.
Finally, I complained about the production level of the whole drama: poor and ugly. Ye Naifa’s actor is actually not ugly. It might be cute to act as a maid, a village woman, but you are ugly to play Ye Naifa. Ye Naifa obviously has a strong temperament as a royal sister. This actor has no innocent eyes and thick lips. Even in a few nude scenes, there is no such sluggish charm at all. It's suitable for people like Eva Greenkate Beckinsale. If you have to change races, Aisha Gonzalez is also good. Triss is an aunt, she has no sense of existence, so let's change her role next season when she doesn't have many scenes. Sheri’s actor may have just passed the pass, and it might be better to add a little eyebrow.
In addition, I think that the few good-looking female characters basically all died. 1 Renfrey, killed by Geralt. 2 The princess with a child protected by Ye Naifah had her throat cut. 3 Ye Naifa’s classmate, the blue-clad female warlock, fell to her death. 4 The lioness in Sintra committed suicide. 5 Xili's mother, drowned. 6 Geralt's mother, in a dream. . . The director is obviously aesthetically toxic.
The design of makeup, costumes and special effects in this show are all ugly. Nilfgard's "Eggbag" armor can't bear to look directly at it, and there is no material at all. Fortunately, I heard that the second season has been changed. Special effects makeup is also very frustrating, such as the Hedgehog Rider's head is too big. The golden dragon made with special effects is also very ugly, like a lizard. The dwarves who went to slay dragons didn't make a good design, so a whole few dwarves went up to shoot. The dwarves need to be stronger. The final battle revealed poverty, the shots looked like dozens of people fighting, and the various spells were very simple. The clothes in the show are very frustrated, with neither texture nor beauty. Danderlin was like a stubborn talker, without the temperament of bardics. Geralt's dress is fine, but it is Henry Cavill's credit. Even if he wears Liu Neng's undershirt, he will be very stylish, but his yellow contact lenses are still fake. I hope to add some budget for the second season.
