Featured reviews
Not having read the books or played the game - yet, it was a confusing start with the timeline. This episode made it a bit clearer with what was what. I find it fun to have those aha! moments when it clicks into place, plus it allows us to see all the characters at once. If it followed a linear timeline, it would be all one character for a long time until another came into the story. I do wish it was clearer with the different nations and how they relate to each other so I am hoping time will tell on that. Can't wait to finish the series, it has me pumped to play the games!
For me the best episode so far
A mix of emotions from scene to scene
The most adventuring episode of the first half
The most confusing timeline in Tv history, enough to make Dr.Who loose another life from just the head ache of it.
But apart from that it really is a fun and excitable series.
I actually thought Pavetta and Ciri was played by the same actress until I saw the credits. Got to give it to them they did a good job on the look. Kudos to the make up department.

Okay, things are on-track now. This is my favorite episode yet, and not necessarily because things are becoming clearer. Because it was genuinely good as a whole. Everything was interesting. What's going on with Ciri is becoming more interesting to watch now, maybe because we have more information regarding her, indirectly. Yennefer's part in this episode was just as interesting as everything with Geralt but felt pointless. Like it didn't have any meaningful purpose. But it was still the second-best part of the episode with Geralt's part being the obvious best. All three of their storylines are gradually getting better. I think everything will truly begin, starting with the next episode onward. I'm looking forward to it.
Awesome, simply awesome! To those, who at least played Witcher (3) in Sapkowski's deep and brilliant universe, the law of surprise couldnt be visualized better. How wonderful was that, brilliant. I still can not pick up my jaw from the floor. Wonderful piece of interpretation and fulfilment to the saga.
Did you know
- TriviaUrcheon of Elderwald's story refers to The Brothers Grimm fairy tales, in which a similar story of a hedgehog boy and the Law of Surprise can be found in the tale of "Hans my Hedgehog".
- GoofsDuring the banquet at (10:51) a boy can be seen with a hurdy gurdy. By the way he is holding the instrument it would be impossible to play it. His right hand should be turning the crank while his left hand should be over the keybox and not underneath it.
- Quotes
Geralt of Rivia: At least when Filavandrel's blade kissed my throat, I didn't shit myself. Which is all I can hope for you, good lords. At your final breath, a shitless death. But I doubt it.
