Before a Fall

Finally, all the storylines are in the same period, and it happened in a great episode like this one. Geralt and Yennefer storylines are the better one by far, both Henry Cavill and Anya Chalotra have really good perfomances in this series, this episode just solidifies this. Can't say the same about Ciri, I like her character, but Freya is not that good portraying her, but she's new in this, and I know trough the series she will improve. It's was a shorter episode, so the pacing here was one of the high points, some of the previous episodes just felt longer than needed. It was a nostalgic episode as well, revisiting previous memorable moments of this very season, a decision I don't like, but it was necessary. Before a Fall, the penultimate episode of Season One, is one of my favorite episodes and I expect that the last episode is as good as this one.

I love how they use different timelines for telling the story. At first it might be a bit confusing but it's so satisfying to see all the pieces coming together. The episode was too short for my taste, but there was definitely put a lot of effort into it.

Ive been waiting for things to burn up like this from the first second of this show. I actually admire the work they put up in this episode 👏🏻

This episode gives satisfaction to a part of audience and explanations to the other. Its best virtue - the project of architecture of the serie . And the fine use of tension. So, just a gem. Or precious key. Short, the entire circle is showed in complete form.

This episode of The Witcher is greatness personified. The answer to all the lingering questions lies in this. The opening 20 minutes gave me goosebumps. Such is the power of the great storytelling. All the prices fall into place. Well directed.
