The Witcher: Blood Origin

Well, what can I say? As previously mentioned in the comments to the previous series, if we consider this story as separate from the original Witcher, then it's not so bad. It was interesting to see where witchers, monsters, and even humans came from on the continent. At the same time, the story seemed crumpled. I understand that it might be hard to fit everything into 4 episodes, but it was possible to try a little more. The plot rushed forward like a steam train, relying on standard tropes, the acting seemed cardboard due to boring dialogues, even the presence of the great Michelle Yeoh, the motivations of the characters are unclear. The only ray of light in the dark kingdom is the Buttercup, but it's not enough to save this little original story. Oh, and Mervyn's lovely outfits, which seem to have taken the entire budget. 6/10

In principle, this seems to be an ordinary fantasy story about a group of heroes opposing a Great Evil, and the Witcher in the title and Buttercup at the beginning of the series are here purely to attract attention. But maybe further, especially in the finale, there will be some more references to the main series.
No more, but no less, there is still very little traditional fantasy on the screens. So you can look at it without high expectations, and most importantly, without comparing it with the original source due to its actual absence.

It's messy. That's probably the most appropriate word. A couple more episodes would have made the story better.

It was interesting to see the first "witcher", Eredin and Avallak'ha, but to tell the truth, I would have watched much more about the "Pairing" itself, and then they just said that "here are the planets, tyr-pyr, all live together." Well, that's cool, cho. I knew it without the show. I'll also mention Itlina — I liked the turn with her.

I would maybe watch the next season about Auberon, Eredin and the Wild Hunt, but I'm afraid they'll completely twist everything here, at least this season didn't have a primary source, come up with whatever you want. In short, it's an optional prequel, passable.

P.S. There's a post-credits scene here, it's not like that, but it's still there.
