Before a Fall

First few episodes left me confused with timelines and action, but it all comes together in this episode and I love how they showed the storyline. Firstly confusing- it all makes sense now. LOVE IT!

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.

I am no fan of Netflix and usually find their movies flawed with plot holes, bad manuscripts and other annoyances. But this episode was still GOOD! There can never, or at least "never" be to much action in a series like this, but I would say that more action would have been more or less the only thing that could improve this episode.

What little this episode lacks in action is mostly compensated for with a great story. I particularly liked how it complemented some of the stories from the games. Even if the series is not based on the game, both the series (and most of) the games are based on the same books.

On top of that, the acting, the characters, the action that were in the episode, the CGI, the music, the plot, the atmosphere were..................................you guessed it: Good ;-)

"Before a Fall" ambitiously slots the plot together and brings the viewer up-to-date with events so far.

A solid episode, I'd recommend it be watched in close succession to its predecessors for maximum effect.

8 out of 10.
