    Butchered a perfect moment

    The writer really screwed the pooch on the ending. All you needed to do was take the book and copy it the screen but no. Anyone who read the book knows the ending was an emotional thing on paper, but the show was deadpan. They really need new writers for season 2 or this show will never reach is potential.

    Overall a Great season 1 that couldn't reach the full potential with the ending

    My only gripe with the show was the ending, all the writers had to do was copy the lines from the end of second book and put them into the script at the end of episode 8. But what they do is over use the lines about destiny throughout the season unnecessarily.

    The short stories were executed almost perfectly into episodes. We also get a story into the past of Yennefer, which wasn't that interesting to me.

    The actors fit their roles perfectly. Credit should go to Henry Cavill for nailing the accent and voice right. Also more credit to him for some excellent action with the sword.

    I was skeptical about the show ever since it had been announced, it surpassed my expectations.

    Loved the way the season ended

    I ended up really liking this series. The main characters are intriguing and interesting. I look forward to season 2! I hope they don't do the different timelines thing again though. It was kind of cool once I figured it out but wouldn't want it again next season. Good fantasy series!

    A great ending for a good season.

    Right now I completed one of the greatest series at all,the fight scenes were the best of all time without any single mistake and without forgetting the cinematography and for that it deserve the full point 10.

      Like the previous episode, Geralt's story is loosely based on a part of the short story "Something More" from the book "Sword of Destiny". The same story mentions the Battle of Sodden.
