In the interest of starting an actual discussion, what don't you like about season 3?
The writing took a nose dive imho. I barely got through the first episode, the dialogue one time seems like it's been pulled from Duke Nuke'em, the other time straight from a soap opera where they keep switching places around and talk about their feelings. The actors left me the impression that they're just going through the motions and gave up, and the story feels all over the place with no direction.
I don't watch the show or care about the games, but I watched one episode of season 1 and it looked cheap and didn't have a good plot, so I feel like maybe people might just be out of the honeymoon period and taking off their rose colored glasses
For me it started with the recap of the previous season. It did nearly nothing to jog my memory. Rather felt like a trailer for season 2 which was entirely pointless.
The rest of the season was way too short. Every episode felt disjointed and all over the place. Everything felt mediocre and like they didn't know where they were trying to go with this or what they were trying to say. Then the ending... Well, it feels like there was none. Just an odd episode that didn't tie up anything.
Geralt of Rivia, The White Wolf has become Dad of Rivia, The Daughter-Carer.
It's, I imagine, exactly what someone who knows nothing about The Witcher outside of this specific TV show, would want to see. Gruff-badass-has-a-heart-of-gold sells real well so it's not surprising, just disappointing.
