I love the Witcher games, and I get the fans need for this show, but it’s godawful.
SaFalken
Watching them slowly. Been watching since it dropped on Netflix and we just finished ep3
zerozugzeit
Managed to enjoy first 7 episodes pretty slow, one a day or two. Sad that i only have one more to go, nooooo...
eykompis
I didn't check the episode list before I just slamdunked play and expected it to be like 10 episodes (like N often do) but nooo. It was 8.
ChronicBoredom
Hmm
Cynthi007
That is exactly why I won't watch incomplete shows no matter how hyped or popular. I wait some more years and watch then.

I had no idea...fuck
DistributedDenialOfService
Okay if any of the producers would say :witchers going out next month but we have to fuck u, ur Mother and ur Granny ' id fucken agree.
Mine are dead. But alive my mom was saucy. She would probably agree.
F0rger
Hmmmm >:l
NewWestDave
Fuck.

Note for anyone who hasn't seen it - There are 3 timelines, one each for Geralt, Yen, and Ciri. When characters meet, their timelines merge.
Or almost meet...

So play Wild Hunt. That'll keep you busy for a bit.
SushiJaguar
The fight scenes against regular-ass dudes were pretty disappointing. Lots of CGI sleight-of-hand 'cuz they didn't give Cavill enough time.
BadBunnyLadyOfRocksTreesAndDirt
Been looking forward to it for two years, put off watching till few weeks after release, spread out over four days..and now we wait for more
jayshannon23
I’m glad I’m not the only one who did this ?
MimiBeast
My husband and I got to one week. He yelled at me for wanting to watch 2 episodes in a row
LilMuffen
Oh FFS
push2play
I wasn't going to watch it, because fantasy isn't my thing, but my partner wanted to, so we did, and I'm glad. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Same here. Then he listened to the audiobooks. Said they’re awesome.
LadyKatie
I’m listening to the books on audible. The narrator is incredible!
My husband is also listening. Says they’re amazing.
The narrator is wonderful. Such an underrated performance art form but it makes a world of difference.
He says that as well. Listens to 3 hours at once!

If I never played the game would i still like it? Or be really confused?
Zeddicuszull
Really confused. You'd have seven books and two previous games of content that you skipped over.
parasztarcal
You'll probably be really confused by the timelines if you didn't read the books. The games are barely relevant in terms of story.
SophieClockwise
The games take place five years after the end of the books, so you won't need to know anything about them.
I knew nothing, and have still really enjoyed it. I’m sure if something really confuses you, google the term+Witcher. I’ve done that.
SusanTheHorse
You’ll be fine!!
Bystandr
SO good. Watched 1&2 and stopped for a week and made myself wait a day between each of the rest, saw the last ep and the one before in one
nice night w/dinner.
HogWashDiddler
But did you toss him a coin?

I'd toss him a coin, like the pervert that i am. :p

Or will season 2 be released 3 years ago. Let's face it The Witcher isn't very good at delineating time.

Isorikk
For essentially a collection of short stories taking place before the books, they did fairly well.
bmjflow
I need an edit with it in order. I was so confused at times.
ZachariasWolfe
Honestly I liked that about it. Having to use both subtle and not so subtle clues to figure out the timelines. I felt proud when I was sure.
mulletpojken
It sucked
MeridaIsMySpiritAnimal
I'm going to rewatch it soon for this very reason
smashpro1
Season 2 will apparently be better about that.
hotstuffburns
Because season 2 starts the actual saga where season 1 was the short stories
Exowe
It's because it's based on the first book where it's just short stories, it's going to be more linear as it goes
ColonelColon
Well it's not actually because of that, because Yennefer's and Ciri's stories were extrapolated from at most a few lines. It just showed 1)
each characters origins, which is impossible to do in a single timeline unless you wanted them introduced halfway through the season.
DzikoB
While you want read the first of the books. The Last Wish.
livetolurk
I've ordered them and am checking the mail every day!
Mixednutsandbatshit
Cannot wait till they get to the time of contempt.
ChefLes
There's a book!
Will do thank you
jeckalStar
Then the “Blood of elves”
bogus1983
Or listen to the audio books. The whole series is 110 hours, which is at least a few weeks of commuting.
Knuddelbearl
Weeks? you underestimatemy power! Last Harry Potter was 2 days of reading.
Ok, but can you listen to 110 hours of audio in 2 days? I mean I guess at 2.5x speed for 48 hours straight...
stuartotaku
Thought the first was book of elves
MustardyGirl
Blood of Elves, seems to pick up where the show leaves off
Seen. Thanks you guys!
Blood of Elves is the first novel, Last Wish is the first book.
CthulhuPanda
There are two collections of short stories before that. Some of these stories made it into the show.
Well seeing as how the first show is entirely based on the first two books, that's not surprising.
JohnCheshirsky
IIRC, The Last Wish is the last book written, but is first in-universe chronologically? I might be wrong
Yeah no. First book written and first book in chronology
See, I was wrong. Well, my bad guys, sorry, shoulda googled it.

TheDayTheBrainStoodStill
Books can be read in order of release, and the show covers approximately the first 2. The three games act as a sequel to the entire series.
Of the games, most will want to skip to W3. The first two are old, janky, and make up a single sidestory. 3 is the real end of the saga.
Shismouche
They are better narratively talking from far. If the graphisms are enough 4 u, play the 1 which has the best narration. 1/
The 2 is still beautiful, has the best musics, has the best freedom and rpg aspect giving you new chapters depending your choice.
TheCardq
2 actually holds up decently and looks pretty good on a well specced PC
2 is also on the 360 and compatible with XB1 - but I feel like it's maybe too much of a direct sequel to 1 for it to work for newcomers.
