Totally deserved. It's probably the best thing Netflix has put out thus far, from where I'm sitting. That last scene and last line of dialogue in the last episode was just *chef's kiss* fucking perfect.
Just finished it with my wife. Marathoned the last three episodes in one sitting since our kid went to sleep early. Really enjoyed it overall. With some improvements, season two should be a real treat.
As a player of all three games, it was great to see the world come alive. My wife knew basically nothing about the book and games but still really liked it.

All the local bookstores in my area are sold out of the first book the other day when there were stacks of them at one location Saturday. Sure, Christmas, but that's pretty crazy in an environment that's struggling to keep afloat.
Also on digital stores, the games shot back up in sales ranking

It's number 6 on my top 10 in what has been an absolutely insanely good year for TV
Yes but very confusing until you realise it's not linear and is set in multiple timelines. Some very bad CGI too. It's fun though.
At one point I thought a ton of people had been resurrected off screen and used to set a trap for Geralt lol. Super weird decision to not make the different timelines clear to the audience

Not surprising at all. People like Star Wars, and Baby Yoda completely took over the internet.
The surprise for me is that people like The Witcher this much. Crazy being a fan since the first game and how back then people saw it as this weird niche thing.
would be interested in actual viewership numbers. this ranking seems obtuse, for example why would it be behind stranger things when the last season of stranger things was 6 months ago.

I definitely hope viewership is good! i enjoyed the season.

It's actually made clear but it's all in dialogue so if you're not paying attention closely you could miss it. For example in the first episode
Yes it's easy to miss but there are other examples and it's all there.

Ciri says to Queen Calanthe "you won your first battle when you were my age" and in the very next scene Renfri tell Geralt that Calanthe had just won her first battle which would mean she was still a teenager.
Happy to hear this. Given the critical panning and undoubtedly high budget I was fearing it would get Sense8ed, but it seems to have struck a chord. For my taste I actually like it better than the Mandalorian, would not have thought that beforehand.
It's great. I'm kinda surprised that it up there with The Mandalorian. Season 2 of both these franchises will be amazing. Hopefully s2 of mandalorian will have 1 hour episodes to match the Witcher.

Considering the Netflix budget and mostly no name actors, the show's... pretty pretty good. It deserves success and I hope we get a couple more reasons so it can hopefully get to the really big stuff that happens later.
It's a pretty surprising show, honestly. Some really incredible scenes.

Welp I totally missed that. Does that mean that the Ciri stuff
is in the future and there's time travel shenanigans involved?
Yes to the first, no to the second.
They just follow different characters going through stuff at different points in time.
it wasn't really meant to be a burn, I hope now that it's doing well that they get to go big.
It's not a big spoiler and it becomes clear by episodes 3 and 4 but I can answer your question if you want to know now
Each of main characters stories is shown chronologically for them but Ciri's is the "present", Geralt's starts a few years earlier and Yennefer's starts even further back...Geralt's and Yennefer's stories occasionally skip a few years forward but never backwards
Ah ok cool that's actually good to know, I had a feeling Yen was what you said.
