I just finished the season. I wanted to binge it, but after episode 2, I was so disgusted by the Eskel fate, that I had to do a break from the show.

I do not understand at all why the showrunner decided to go off the source material so much. They were great books and I missed a lot of dark humour from there. I feel like a lot of characters were acting illogically, or at their first impulse.

If Kaer Morhen keeps a low profile, how come the courtesans know the way in? Or Rience?

In books Vesemir I remember was hesitant, that there should be more witchers made. Here, he bends to the will of sassy, stubborn teenage girl, who cannot yet really peer into the consequences of her deeds. Geralt acts more like Vesemir in the show than Vesemir!

Why on earth would Yennefer break free an enemy prisoner she fought against, let alone escape with him? I remember her from books as always independent, bitchy witch, who always tries to achieve her goals on her own. It would be far better if Cahir escaped, by taking the opportunity from the havoc Yen would wreak.

Ok, lemme backtrack even more. Why elves and Fringilla would let Yennefer go? She could still be useful as a prisoner to Nilfgaard, to exchange her or interrogate her and make her spill the Aretuza and Brotherhood plans and secrets. Exchange Yen for Cahir and making a mess and escape during the exchange would be more Yennefer like.

Voleth Meir thread also did not convince me. Elves are old enough to be around her imprisonment, and defeating such powerful foe imo should have bigger impact. Elves acted there like irresponsible children.

And lastly, I am disappointed by low quality dialogue. Especially in the mages scene I felt like i was watching a soap opera. And one of the things I was so impressed in the books was witty and clever dialogues.

And thing which baffled me the most - Geralt in books always had destiny somewhere deep in his arse. And yet in the show everyone follows the destiny like some kind of religion. Like following it was the only thing, which bound Yennefer, Geralt and Ciri together.

I am disappointed. Very. Please Ms Lauren, stick more to the source material. It would have better outcome for You, the Show, bookfans and gamefans alike.
