And I don’t think Netflix’s dirty trick of splitting season 3 in half is going to help it stay in the conversation since part 1 isn’t being talked about in the first place, other than everyone saying how dumb it is that Henry Cavill is being replaced by Liam Hemsworth.
Even if the scores stay high season 2 came and went in a blink. It was doing huge numbers for Netflix and it seemed like maybe they finally had found something that could at least vaguely emulate the quality and popularity of Game of Thrones.Īnd then whoosh, it was gone. This was not true about season 1 as it was heralded as a shockingly good adaptation when it easily could have gone wrong. Online, almost no one is talking about it. One thing I’ve noticed about this entire season was something I also noticed about season 2. I’m not quite sure as to why the preceding episode, The Invitation, is a 5.7, as I didn’t remember anything particularly horrible about it, but here we are. That means that season 3, episode 5, the episodes I’m talking about here is the second worst episode of the series, which seems quite bad for something meant to be a blockbuster midseason finale with a huge reveal at the end. The highest rated episode is the premiere with a 7.2. While this may be some measure of “protest voting” with Henry Cavill leaving the show after this season, the scores are poor. But still, it’s pretty good, as only three of eight episodes drop below an 8.0 this time. Season 2, you may not be surprised to learn, is where things start to drop. Every episode of that season except for one is rated above an 8.0, helping contribute to The Witcher’s overall score of an 8.1/10 on the site, which is quite good.
Overflow manga season 2 update#
Update (7/4): I was a little curious how the overall feeling was about this episode, and I think the only way to actually quantify this was to head to IMDB where fans are able to rate individual episodes.Īs expected, season 1 episodes are quite high. It was a disaster, and combined with a lackluster, stupidly obvious Vilgefortz turn, was a terrible way to end this first string of episodes, and now it’s even a worse decision for Netflix to be saving other three for later. They really thought they were being immensely clever with the ALL IS NOT WHAT IT SEEMS repeated timelines mixed with the post-party flashforward. A cliffhanger, until the show returns a month from now.Īll of this was just…so extremely bad, which was disappointing after four previously good episodes. The episode ends with an assault on the mages by Djikstra, Philippa and who knows who else. Though it wasn’t to secretly curse her like I imagined, it may be to protect her, or at the very least, revealed a link between Vilgefortz and the mute mage who is also in love with him, and sending the fire guy after Ciri. It was extremely obvious this was happening for a reason and Vilgefortz was up to something bad. The reveal of Vilgefortz was painfully obvious from the moment he put what I will call a Chekov’s Bracelet on Tissaia’s wrist early on in the season, and Yen went out of her way to mention it again later. When suddenly they realize, aha! Stregobor was not actually the villain, he was just racist, and it was Vilgefortz this entire time. But then the timelines end and we get the next morning after the Yen/Geralt bedroom scenes.
