s04e08 — Baptism of Fire

It's still hard to watch it after reading the original source. Before the announcement of the cast for Regis, it seemed that at least he would be able to spice things up a little, but alas. Not only does he absolutely not fall into the type, but also the role seems to be absolutely not his, although the actor is quite good. Milva.. Oh, well, it's like there's no Milva at all. Maeve almost dropped my jaw at the moment, even though I'm trying to convince myself not to be surprised by the lousy casting. It's already a tradition in this series. I was probably pleased, though only slightly, with Filin (Stefan Skellen), and even then with a big "but". I don't even want to talk about the plot, its simplifications and changes anymore. Alas, an absolute disappointment:(

Well, the season is over.
The authors tried to follow the canon at some points, but they were still caught up in some kind of heresy. Starting from these monoliths, continuing by killing everyone right and left (which I generally want if they killed Eskel, dad, I love him very much), rewriting the canon of Kagyr, changing the race of the characters, ending with the fact that Emhyr hired some kind of beast. (I honestly can't remember such a moment in the book). In general, Emgyr is some kind of tube. He doesn't scare me at all.
The only line that came to me was Ciri and the Rats. Leo Bonhart is just as nasty and smug. The head-cutting moment is just as disgusting to me as it was when I read that he came in the series.
Geralt is officially from Rivia. Without taking any points, in general, his campaign is similar to a book one. There are a couple of dumb meetings with Radovid and Dijkstra.
I thought I loved Jennifer. But it seems that the showrunner loves her more. She doesn't live through everything that was in the book at all. She's a bit too Mary Sue here. Everything is working out, everyone loves her. And Philippa and I are friends in general.
In general, thanks for some canonical moments, but in general it wasn't worth it.

Sharlto Corley, what are you doing here? The actor is awesome, I love his projects, but here... Damn it, how much did you pay? X)

What kind of cheap fanfiction did I just watch? Everything is kind of childish and looks cheap and unrealistic, as if the fans gathered and filmed a sequel....

The battle on the bridge is not as spectacular as in the books, but at least it has not been completely fucked up. Although it was possible to remove the terrible episode with the battle of the magicians and fully show the bridge on Yaruga. Ian created a box in which she had never been, and she was partly against her (yes, in the game she was the main engine for recreating the box, but there the situation was tougher, and even so she was not in it, and the main one, as before, was Philippa, who asked Geralt, if everything works out, take Ian away, otherwise it would be somehow ugly to deny her membership in the Lodge, which was recreated with her help), after which protos went nowhere (Skelege?).

On the plus side: Leo Bonart is almost the same sadistic maniac. I hope he will continue to follow the book, Ciri will learn a good lesson from him under all his actions on her.

The season itself is 5/10, if we take it as a separate work, like the film adaptation of "The Witcher" — 2.5/10 (better than "The Last of Us", but it's not difficult).

The fifth season is the final one, and it's already clear that we won't be shown everything that was in the books. The question is what will be removed: Tusent or Tyr na Lia and the entire branch with the king of the Alder people and Eredin, or everything will be removed altogether. I'm afraid they can say familiar names in one sentence, as was the case with Avallak, but it doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not.

Wait, is this the whole season? Isn't it the half that Netflix divided into two parts? Yo, if season 5 is the last, then they won't have time to play out there - they won't fit anything.

⠀
⠀So-so season.
⠀
⠀Milva was the best of all.
⠀ Nimue was also introduced relatively normally . But they won't have time to develop and show her line in any way, the chances are too high, and she will remain a passing fan-reteller of the story about Geralt.
Jennifer had too much, and she was too far away.
⠀

What was that? 🤦🏼‍♂️
There is no season at all, how to put it mildly. It definitely should have been closed after Cavill left.
I can't imagine how you can cram everything into the final season and not descend into even greater absurdity.

Yes, it's a good season. Better than the others, perhaps. More canon, less bullshit, which would be nothing if it weren't so mediocre and dumb. This series has great events. They gave me my bridge, and I'm happy. I really liked Cahir this season. And Regis turned out better than I expected, he speaks quite canonically and his voice gets to the gut.
Bonhart vs Rats - I can't raise my hand to write 'good', but it's powerful. After Ciri's arrival, I even started to feel something, it was played properly.
I think Toussaint won't be here next season, and I'm not sorry. With this Fringilla, it's even a relief. Although Buttercup dropped Anarietta in the fifth episode.

the moment when I know for sure that I have to stop watching some TV series without regrets.

I liked the season more than the previous one
He generally looked through the force
But I still don't understand how it was possible to screw up such a franchise.
And at the same time, I understand that if someone is going to restart , it will definitely be in a dozen years.

I read books 15 years ago, and not all of them, I didn't play games. I don't know the plot and canon, I don't remember, and therefore I can adequately evaluate the series - I liked this season, the Witcher's recast was generally normal, I didn't bother my eyes, I really liked the whole branch about enchantresses (Ian and Philippa ❤️), the branch with Rats was wildly annoying, and how I rejoiced in this series (well, really I didn't feel sorry for them), so this thug is a credit, I hope his actions will bring Ciri back to her true self, but so far I don't share at all that everyone is shaking because of her (looking for, saving, dying) and she's doing shit. That's my IMHO, fans - don't miss it too much)

I probably disagree with many comments, the season is much more dynamic than the 3rd. I watched the 4th, and began to review it for comparison..The gene is good without presentation, but there is also a but... Gena is a playable character in embody!!!Just one "Hmm, Contagion!" and we're in Game 3 of The Witcher, the "Contagion" is brutal, and in this version, I personally liked the facial transformation after the elixir, and there are many good moments! The multi history of Regis, for example. This is a film series based on Sapkovsky, after all! Where at least one series followed the canons??? I can't even remember a movie where the scriptwriters and the entire cast went according to the canons!!!Do you want to minus the ones I liked!!! Liam the second, after all, did a good job!

I once thought that professionals in their field would work on the Witcher to try to reveal this universe and their characters to the fullest. It's going to be a cool cast, great acting. Musical accompaniment. And the level is something like Game of Thrones in the fantasy world, only in the witcher universe. But Netflix decided to shit their pants, and for fans to make a series for one or two evenings, which they won't even remember after watching.

In fact, there were no expectations, what to expect after 3 seasons from Netflix with a cast in the form of a black pampushka by Keira Merz and a gay Buttercup, and ignoring the original book, but I enjoyed it, it went pretty cheerfully. Hemsworth is quite good, the staging of the fights is excellent, Leo, my respects. But the ending with the little one killed me: but what happened to Ciri? Smiling and enthusiastic, the girl took the book.: And now I'm going to tell you how Leo Bonard chopped rats into bloody mincemeat with all the details.

It's the fourth season, and people are still complaining about the miskasts. That would be something to be surprised about.

Regis didn't inspire him, Fishbourne is cool, but it's completely out of place and doesn't seem to fit the character. What can't be said about Leo, he's just as sadistic as in the book. Sharlto Copley is incredibly good, he plays beautifully.

There was an excessive amount of Jennifer, as if the actress had a special contract and she was brought to the fore with the whole Box. It definitely wouldn't be worse if there was less of it.

In general, the season is even OK, despite all this fanfiction, it's even a pity that next season is the last. This means that they will gallop through the plot and cut up a huge amount of material.

P.S. Purely two bros in paphos:

The season turned out to be weak — 5-6 out of 10. There are very few witchers in it. There is almost no difference between Cavill and Hemsworth — not because they are similar, but because the script itself does not give an opportunity to reveal itself.

It's not a bad season in the end, even though this whole season is about preparing for the finals.
I'm looking forward to Jennifer and Geralt's epic battle with Vilgefortz.

It was nice to see Tissaya in the "illusion", she was one of the most beloved characters, And the way Vesemir's death was played out, they just wrote off the NPCs, horror! And how Geralt reacted to the news of his death, no way!!

I'm also glad that the rat squad arc is over. I don't know how it was according to the book, but judging only by the series, this is ala "six Ravens" on minimums. Leo Bonart 🔥

I'm sorry, but this is the most boring and ridiculous season for me (

Let's assume that the series is based on books...If it wasn't for reading books, then it would be quite a good series. Therefore, let's abstract from the original source and just look at what was called the Witches, then it will be quite acceptable and interesting.

The whole Internet: "in the book series, the first two volumes are really good, the rest are filled with water." Comments on maishous: Oh my God, how could they do this to a masterpiece...

The whole season I felt like I was watching some kind of passing generic series, without my own universe. If you'd put the heroes of the Lord of the Rings or Star Wars in there, it would have looked the same.
In my opinion, this Ogre is the same before animation as in the Lord of the Rings))
Cliché on cliché, exaggerating to a dainty dwarf.

As for me, this is the best season, although there is some kind of dynamics, the previous ones went through the force, this one in one go. The new Super Witcher

The season turned out to be much closer to the canon than the previous ones, so I don't understand why the ratings are so low. Even if Regis changed his race, it doesn't bother me. Bonhart is also well-chosen. Considering what the scriptwriters did in the first two seasons, it's not an easy task to get everything back on track. Vesimir was leaked, but he doesn't really play a role anymore. They just decided to add drama at his expense. Liam, like Henry, plays wooden, there are still no witty comments from Geralt.
In general, it's not bad, I'll even wait for season 5.

Tris is sweeping the yard... No, well, of course, we need to start restoring Arethusa from somewhere, but...
and that's how they do it. ©

I also read the arch of rats in the book one line at a time, which is boring.
Liam fits the canonical witcher more than Cavill, and that's fine.
I don't understand, do they want to put the end of the books and all three parts of the game in the next season?

When Milva Maria the squirrel fell off a cliff into the water, she thought at least after such a miscarriage. And how glad I was when Regis found out about it at the 16th minute. I'm like, Oh, yeah!

The toothless queen knighthoods the witcher – smiled, and immediately beheaded rats and into a barrel in front of Tsyri /Falk

Pooja's cameo was the best of the season 😆

I was skeptical about the witcher without Kevin, but strangely enough, the season went very easily, and in some places I wanted a more sullen witcher, although Jennifer compensated for this season.

Damn, in the most interesting place.
I liked the season. I didn't really notice the Witcher's replacement. Liam still managed to win back.
The season turned out to be rich in fights and action.
The ending, of course... I'm very sorry for the rats.

Well, are you glad you didn't kill me?
I haven't decided yet.

The season is great, I enjoyed everything.
I hope Netflix gives us an epic ending in the year 26.
In general, it was a road adventure from the three sides of the main characters and so far their roads have not crossed yet.
I didn't get any rejection from the lead actor, so everything is fine.
There aren't a lot of fantasy series these days, so this saga is going great.
And I read books in fragments, leaving them in the middle, so I have nothing to compare them with)

I have not read books, I have not played games, I perceive the series as something unique and independent.

That's why I liked the season in principle. The plot is interesting. The fights are beautiful and exciting)
And in the final episode, as if the humor was not bad, it was on her that the jokes were more "at the box office."

The new cast isn't always right, though. The new Geralt is not bad. Leo may be an antagonist, but he's a charismatic guy!
And here's Regis... There are no complaints about the actor, but the character did not look like a vampire, but like Basilio's Cat on minimums (except for animation, everything is cool there). Rats are weak too - you can't even empathize with them. They were killed so terribly, but in fact you didn't get into the heroes and you're neutral.

So, personally, I'm looking forward to the fifth season. I'm waiting for fights and carnage, I'm waiting for action and scale!

As for me, Regis, Bonnart and Filin were the best written in the books. In fact, the series is interested in scenes with them, but... Fishburne somehow passed by, Skellen was fucked up, and Leo was not allowed to roam to the fullest, although even this is the best of all. The death of the rats and the events that were taking place didn't bother me too much.

The kneading on the bridge is normal, but the rats were somehow dealt with quickly) Leo Bonart is fierce)

Type did not play it ponano, but the series was just shit, and remained

One of his favorite moments in the book was where he cleaned up the rats. This was also well shown here. And he knocked Ciri down.

Geralt's recast came to me. Hemsworth is a good fit. There's a lot of action in the season, and it was the witcher (Geralt, Leo, Ciri) who looked good. I'm not saying anything for magicians. Sneaking out from under the horse. Leo Banart has an ideal cast. The top antagonist. How he smashed the rats in the finale. Oh. And the actress on Ciri is now in her best years. Pretty kick-ass. I've been enjoying it all season. Regis, despite the fact that it doesn't fit outwardly, minus that, the image is well conveyed. I liked. Like Milva and the Dwarves. In general, the best part of the season is the adventures of Geralt and the ala Fellowship of the Ring company. The rats and Leo are in second place. Of course, the cast for Ciri's girlfriend is a failure, but the rest look normal. The lines of the enchantresses and Vilgeforts of the team are kringe to the 10th degree.

On a high , he passed the rats 🤣 Krasava 👍

God, what a passing "something" season. No, everything was shot at a high-quality level. But for the last episode of the season, in which there were no events promoting the story, practically nothing changes in this series.
As Jennifer was looking for Velgiforts, so she is looking. Just as Geralt went after Ciri, so it still goes. Just as Emhyr was looking for Ciri, he is still looking for her. THREE FILLER LINES. Well, Ciri got rid of the Rats and got some kind of development, and this is literally the only thing that was good and really moving in the season.
If you skip this season and start watching the fifth after the third, it's like you haven't missed anything.
I'm even ready to accept Kevin's replacement, but the filler season is mostly blasphemy.
Leo Banart is the opening of the season, but in fact his arc will only be revealed in the fifth season.

There's too much left in the books for the last season with their pace - at least two would be. In any case, they will cut a lot, but imho it's not scary, as an independent work, the series looks great. All the same, the author's stuff is "based on motives", that games, that old Polish, that this one. If you take off your pants, it looks great.

The recast and casting are good. Regis is not, but Fishburne is too charming, you get into it. I'm used to Hemsworth in the middle. Kim Bodnia - there was a gorgeous Vesemir, but Yaxley from GP is also convincing. Bonhart is great!

The season feels small, as if nothing much has happened. But Liam is fine, he's pulling — although it's not like there's any acting overachievement here, to be honest.
The Hansa suited me fine. Cahir, my dear, I've been clinging to him since the beginning of the series.
Well, Ian is good, there are no words. All the money saved on wigs went to Anya for a wig — it looks gorgeous.

The choreography of the fights is simply magnificent, from 5-second skirmishes to epics for 15-30 minutes. By this stage of the plot, the witcher had already kind of stopped doing professional work - not up to it, but they still introduced monsters, the atmosphere of the games was felt in a new way) Xs, the overall impression is that they are doing the whole project very heartily. It's coming in, although the deviations from the canon are quite strong. It seems to me that if you take it as a separate work, the series works very, very well. There is very little beautiful, juicy fantasy right now.

What was the season about? About how Ciri was searched for and never found.
What would the next season be about? About how they will search for her again and will not find her.

Guys, can you tell me if you want to watch season 4 first, and then the movie about Rats, or vice versa?

Why couldn't Jennifer have transported them all to where they were going before she went through the portal, if there was such an opportunity, so that they wouldn't have to look for any river crossings and save a lot of time?

"Don't you want to suck my bells?"
"I'll think about it..."
Ahahahaha what for 🤣🤣🤣

No, it's really surreal, especially the final episode.
Ciri's line is about nothing at all🤦
But there were also advantages, Jennifer's line was very pleased with the individual Fishbourne Persians, Sharlto and dwarves with a dwarf, and so on ... there are nuances... big nuances…

P.S. Who looked at the rats separately, did something come out?is it worth it or not worth wasting time on this? It's just that Dolph is registered in the cast, it's interesting to see him in this role.😅

Naruto's filers intrigued me more than this season of the Witcher. It's a cheap parody that takes place on TV3.

Well, for all 4 seasons, at least once, but you can say that the scene of killing rats was quite a success.

I do not know how they will fit everything else into the last season) the events before the wintering of the Hansa, Toussaint himself to show, Ciri and the arena, Ciri and other worlds, the final batch, the lake, plus it is necessary to catch up with the drama at the end... Just 5 minutes each... And considering that they come up with a lot of extra stuff... In general, most likely the druids will be in place, and the campache will stomp right to Vilgeforts. Will they even omit Ella?

It's always hilarious that Geralt just wanted to get to the other shore and accidentally became a knight. That's probably all of the pros and cons. Leo came out pretty good.

I imagined the battle of Rats with Bonart like that, plus or minus. It came out tough and powerful. In general, I think that Bonart is a 100% hit. Charisma and fierce anger 👍🏻

Dialogue on the boat
"The open sea will start there soon.
- Is the sea salty?!
- And what, another superstition?
- No, it just corrodes the skin. I'm a vampire 🧛♀️
"Aah...."

I dedicate you to lytsali, gald and Livia 😅😅😅

I feel sorry for the rats

Everyone loves "The Witcher" for its psychologism, deep existential dialogues about good, evil and motherhood /fatherhood.

In general, Leo Bonhart and his battle with Rats are the only bright spot in this whole creation.

Remembering the season in a week's time, only the rat massacre will come back to mind.

Bonhart cut the entire story from the series.
OK, go ahead ;)

Buttercup is purely D&D mechanics: flew onto the bridge, used the inspiration of the bard, ran away 😀

The only thing I've enjoyed all season is Leo Bonart and how beautifully he showed the rats who they are)

The whole line of rats/rats went in the style of some anime or candy Carnival. It's like watching a cheap parody of Pirates of the Caribbean or one Piece.
And then rrraz! Guts from the abdomen, blood from all the holes and sawn off heads. This was not the case in any series of The Witcher. And the age limit was immediately supposed to increase by a couple of years.
But with this amount of guts, the nude scene wasn't revealed anyway.

The last episode turned out to be quite cheerful. As far as I'm concerned, it's a great end to the mid-season. On the positive side of the fourth season, The Witcher (I got a recast), Bonart (a charismatic uncle) and Regis (despite the fact that he turned a little black).
There are fears that all further events will not be crammed into the fifth season and the end will turn out to be crumpled.

Oh, Bonart's battle with the Rats is, in my opinion, the best thing that happened in the series, very spectacular, bravo to the actor!

When Leo dealt with the rats, it was such a mess, just honey

Everyone is thrilled with Bonart, I agree it was cool. I especially liked how he moves extremely fast, faster than Geralt in the entire series.
But there is one thing. His key description in the books is lifeless "fishy" eyes. And here the actor is too emotional. The best of the season, but not 10 out of 10.

The season ended as if it had never begun - I just got into the taste, and now the credits are on the screen. It feels like they've shot all the fun in mid-sentence.
The main characters talked all season about looking for Siri, but for 8 episodes they never got down to business))
The recast didn't bother me much in general, but Liam Hemsworth didn't have the charisma to win back the Herald.

Ahaha. The kids were playing gay pride in the basement, and then the janitor came and dispersed everyone)

Of course, I didn't watch the season (I quit after the first one), but the last 20 minutes are great. I looked at them and was satisfied)

Recently, there have been 3 series based on good franchises with great potential. How about this, Alien Porridges and the new season of the Witcher, where everyone is terrible in their own way, everyone has become complete degenerates and everyone has their own tiny fan base of the same degenerates who, with their face smeared in chocolate (no), are shaking and telling everyone how delicious they were. A truly epic battle for the title of the worst, only one will win.

The fight was equal, three shits were fighting.


Judging by the ratings, they only watched it for Cavill.

I liked the scene with the rats at the end.
But mostly it's hard after the book.
If you don't read it, you'll probably go)

I tried very hard not to be biased. But the recast didn't come to me, for me the Witcher is Henry. Liam has 0 chemistry with Ian. The bed scenes are just a hand and a face, as if they were being pulled by strings in different directions. The second half of the season was more or less interesting, but in general it was difficult to watch. It's a pity that everything turned out this way, but I'm glad that many people even kind of liked it.

How colorful Bonart turned out to be. That's not how he went into the book)

There's a special episode released yet, for some reason it's not on the website.

Everything is fine with me 👐🏼 I've read books twice. I've listened to audio books twice. And I immersed myself in a familiar story after watching this season. 🙌🏼

Fuck, there was a lot of howling about the new Witcher, but the scriptwriters are great, they just screwed up the whole plot of the season, that the new Witcher is the last thing that bothers.

And this is seriously the last episode of the season, are you kidding me?

It's an empty season. One of them was walking somewhere, but he didn't get anywhere. The little one was doing some shit, which ended up being terrible. Jennifer's line had at least some kind of outcome, the creation of a new magical union. The witches dragged me in shorter.

Liam looks like a kid who was given the role he dreamed of at a matinee, no severity, just smiling eyes. And a very weak swordsmanship, they could have trained him better at least in this.

I rarely find fault with the series of this genre, but here I was very bored.

Ahahahahaph, I loved it when Bonhart fucked those stinking rats. In general, it's funny, of course, that, in theory, all viewers should empathize with rats and hate Leo, but the creators of the Witcher took everything so seriously that Bonart arouses more sympathy than the "positive" characters whom he literally dismembers alive. Bravo netflix

Apart from Henry Cavill, I don't see any other actors for this role.

Please explain, where has the Wild Hunt gone? Did Ciri stop being interesting to them because she gave up her powers? But she's of senior blood anyway.
Or is it because she can't be found?

The season turned out to be so "impressive" that when people watch it, they pay more attention to the minor characters than to the main ones - Leo, Skellen, Milva, Reggis and others. Netflix has distorted everything so much that viewers have to wander around like in a maze, looking for positive moments and avoiding piles of droppings from the authors of this creation.

In general, the only thing that comes to me from season to season is Buttercup and his soulful voice and facial expressions, and Philippa's images and outfits.
The rest is like that. The background is not scary.

On the last series I put 4, but only thanks to Leo

Just for the sake of Sharlto Koppli, it was worth watching

Yeah, that sucks. They decided, apparently, to overshadow Cavill's absence with a mediocre script, no main characters and a bunch of guts. Such a low-grade parody of the IP turned out this season. As they said, it's like I watched a bad fanfiction.

Well, I got used to it. The first episode didn't come at all. and the further it went, the more it went...

I don't understand what the point is to come up with some new plots other than books, and shove them into the season, and then end the series on the 6th (or 5th?) the season..milk this cow to the end already, the benefit of the original source allows.
I was also skeptical about Hemsworth, but Geralt himself was shown so little, which is normal. Thank you for giving Buttercup his short haircut back at least in the musical, otherwise I like him less with these locks. And it seems that we were promised another trick from him, but alas.
The rats and Bonnart are canonical, thank you.
Of course, Cahir is more sympathetic in books, but I persuaded myself with grief to get used to this actor in half.
Regis is a bit miskish compared to the books, but I like the way Morpheus played it.
In general, the atmosphere, the music there, periodically caused goosebumps, as a fan of books, I didn't have any high hopes for the adequacy of the screenwriters, but that's what it is.

The season turned out to be neither fish nor meat..
Sometimes it's interesting, sometimes it's too fake and naive... the whole Rat thing was infuriating, especially Ciri's "girlfriend"...
the Witcher looked noticeably younger, as if he had gone on anti-aging treatments, thanks to Hemsworth's fresh face, there was no usual sullenness from his appearance, a kind of good-natured guy who periodically grunted... Well, okay, we have what we have...
who knows how, but I'm waiting for the development between Cahir and Nilva.. I haven't read any books, but it seems the scriptwriters are ready to bring them together...

And where did these horsemen of the apocalypse - hunters go? and anyway, where did the whole line with Ciri's power go? why and how her father became a White Flame. other interesting lines are silence.
I don't really like this season. I rewound the scenes with Ciri. I liked some crap
about a villain and a vampire who looked like a gray-haired Cossack.

gooooooood

Battle on the bridge and beautifully cut out all the rats. It's kind of weak for the season finale. But the whole season turned out to be rather weak than even average.

"So it turned out that one witcher and one Nilfgaardian allied with him shouted, brandished their swords and without hesitation rushed forward, two companions, two friends, two comrades–in-arms - towards a common enemy, into an unequal battle. And it was their common baptism of fire. A baptism of common fighting, rage, madness, and death. They were going to their deaths, they, two comrades. That's what they thought. After all, they could not have known that they would not die that day on this bridge spanning the Yaruga. They did not know that another death was destined for them both. In another place and at another time..."

I was waiting for the scene where Geralt fends off two arrows flying at Buttercup with his sword, "for the first and last time in my life":(

In general, it was shot on a very low budget, some kind of monster was added... why?

In the book, this scene, after a more or less measured tone of narration, was a real climax.

Here, with these wretched inserts about enchantresses, the whole effect of the scene was killed.

And why Maeve doesn't have gray hair, it was a very cool detail:(

But in general, the parts with Geralt's hansa were very good.

It's a pity that next season is the final one.
Probably everyone will be cut.

It's a pity that Netflix doesn't have as much desire or resources to reveal the universe as they filmed Game of Thrones. Such a story is being overlooked, which could be milked and milked..
Everything is kind of cardboard, the taste is identical to the natural one)

Okay, for the whole series, I still found something that I liked. Leo is a straight good hit and the carnage scene is well staged.
Otherwise, the series looks like a declaration of professional incompetence by the entire showrunner team.

I must say that these parts of the entire cycle are rather weak, especially when compared with the dynamic and well-written books 1 and 2. Sapkovsky also overdid it there, it was not for nothing that at the beginning of the season it was said: "This is my least favorite part." But what a cool soundtrack "I believe in the blade" is! The goosebumps from him are what remains unclear - how will they manage to reveal all the events in one season?

The story of the rats is depressing, more often than not just squandered. It only came to life closer to the finale, when Leo chopped everyone up quite creatively.
Emhyr always seemed to me to be a charismatic, intelligent leader, but he was turned into ... I don't even know, a dumb guy who wants a daughter who looks more like a sister to him. 😵‍💫
Hemsworth as Gerald is honestly not bad. The build is perfect, the game is also in principle. Although what kind of game is there: go ahead and hum. The only thing is the face. Honestly, the Herald seemed more mature to me, Hemsworth is too young for my feelings.
Vesemir's death didn't experience anything at all, some random NPS character. The creators do not know how to enter into the atmosphere, into immersion, into the disclosure of characters.
The enchantresses....Well, damn, it's a fierce clash and a star, and trash, and Spanish shame. It's the fourth season, and I can't get used to it. So what happened to Fringuilla this season? I'll have nightmares about her bald head at the end after I wake up.

Well, in general, considering the past seasons, the series holds the bar. And I lowered the expectations of season 4 so much that it actually didn't turn out that badly.

If we discard all the characters and take Geralt this season, he turned out to be kind of sweet, constantly smiling. Where is that uncouth Geralt with the obnoxious temper? Laiam did not get into the character at all, and the directors did not help him, did not prompt him. And this is the central character, who was exchanged for fisshteh and senseless murders.

The rats were slaughtered like kittens😁

Thanks for moving on without the rats.

The battle on the bridge is some kind of "Xena the warrior queen", terribly fake, like the whole season.

But I was very amused by the homage to "Apocalypse Now" with Fishburne in a bombarded boat)

I've read books a bunch of times, played games (all three). And I liked this season more than 2 and even more than 3. The plot follows the book more or less, the younger Thor in the role of Geralt finally came out gorgeous. In general, if you do not find fault, do not pay attention to long wigs, fat Blacks and other obscenities, then it is quite tolerable. Plus, it seemed to have become tougher - blood, guts, severed heads without embellishment.

and first I watched a movie about rats)))) highs and spoilers

The season turned out much better than the previous ones, + he just accelerated at the end, but again it's not because of Geralt. And even more so not because of Ciri, she is the weakest link
here) I liked the Rush much more than the main project, especially since there is a "rat cat" that pulls hard. I hope things will get better, and I like Geralt Cavilla better so far.

And the guy in the photo (I didn't remember the character's name) has already starred in the second film adaptation of gorgeous fantasy.

Rats are stupid, of course, but it's a pity for the guys…

I found myself getting used to Hemsworth as Geralt. That's for sure, "time heals" :)

"Well, shit," that's what first comes to mind after watching the last episode of the fourth season.

It was worth watching the whole season for the sake of how Sharlto Copley fucked up the rats! Krasava! There would be more carnage like this.

When Vilgefortz collected body parts for himself from other wizards, it reminded me of the Warlock movie

I wonder where these ratings come from. Well, yes, the season is so-so, but it doesn't stand out much against the background of the whole series. And it's certainly better than the second season. Just because of Geralt's replacement? 🤔

There are only two advantages in the season, Leo Bonart performed by Sharlto Copley and well-choreographed battle scenes.

The meeting of the adherents of woke with their main enemy, an elderly white man 🤣

Of course, I understand that "everyone should have their own version of the Witcher," but it hurts to look at it, you have to play Wild, wash away this negativity. 🤢🤢🤢
UPD Leo Bonart is gorgeous

Oh, that series right now, which is the scariest thing to go into.😂

The season wasn't 10/10.
It was like we were just preparing for the next one. Liam is not as mysterious and depressive as Henry.
Perhaps if you had seen him in the role of the witcher from the very beginning, you would have liked it more.
As it was, Henry naturally liked the role more.
Sozon himself is so weak.

I missed something this season, although the battle of the enchantresses was good, it's still probably really a preparation for the finals, and not an independent season.
Liam smiles a lot and doesn't stand out from the crowd at all... just a character.

Why are you savoring this feces and looking for more pros and cons? Were you inspired by Bonart's words from the book after the massacre of the rats?: "Look! It's blood! And this is guts! And this is shit!"

And I liked season 4, it was pretty good. The whole team is assembled, the new witcher is also good, although he is a fan of Cavil, but he got into it. The beer is the best, I watched the third and 4th season in two days.

The sequel to Hercules and Xena, the Warrior Queen, has finally been filmed.

I'm so glad the rats got killed.

To be honest, the previous season was much more boring for me..There's more action, cool action scenes, and the whole story is moving forward..but Liam as a witcher turned out to be very mediocre (( there is no charisma, that energy..As a result, it was much more interesting to watch the rest of the characters (whereas Cavill used to attract all the attention)..

Just a disgusting aftertaste remains after watching this season.
I can still tolerate acting, but the plot!? It leaves a lot of questions and a feeling of booooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

The only thing I would like to say here is that I don't feel sorry for the rats at all. Ordinary unscrupulous mercenaries, nothing more, nothing less.

Here, above, rats are compared to kittens, I would rather be with cockerels) show-offs alone.

And, by the way, I think that this film adaptation reminds me of. Maybe someone remembers Christopher Paolini's book "Eragon"? That's where they made the movie, realized that he hadn't come in, and turned the shop down.

Henry is van love, of course, but Liam did a pretty good job overall. The season itself is so-so, I looked at the background. I only remember the battle of the magicians and the final battle with the rats. Ciri has passed something, she has become uninteresting to me. Ian's pulling, pretty girl. I liked the vampire, I hadn't read any books, and his blackness didn't bother me at all.😆 The Herald 's gang 👍 The bed scene 👎

I read that Liam is hated for not playing Geralt, but Henry playing Geralt. That's for sure! I also think it's a strange feeling, like it's the usual Henry the Witcher, but something is wrong))
He needed to make something of his own, then maybe it would be normal. He doesn't have chemistry with any of the characters, unlike Cavill, he still interacted well with everyone, even though there was no chemistry with Ian either.
What pleased me was our dubbing, there were a lot of funny moments. "Rats" all sucks, how could you hire so many charismatic actors? They were literally dummies, so their deaths didn't affect a single muscle on their face.
In general, the season is so bad and it feels like everyone has started playing poorly, there's some kind of bad feeling, I don't know how to explain it. Maybe it's because everyone wears bastard wigs? 🤣🤣🤣 Ciri was especially hacked up.

A disastrous season ... boring, half of the episodes didn't really happen at all, the other half is just weak, there is no plot development in general.

I feel like I'm going to have a completely unpopular opinion :)

The season was pretty good compared to the previous two (I only read the 1st book, and I didn't play games). The replacement of the actor, as for me, did not play a role at all. Honestly, I thought it would be sad, but everything looked very organic. It didn't feel like the series had lost anything. The Herald's line was the most interesting this time. It's a pity, of course, that we've already discovered who the emperor is, otherwise we'd be blown away in a place with a Herald.

A very good battle of magicians came out, but as always I can't figure out where this habit of not finishing off the villains comes from. Vilgefortz left alive again.

The line with Ciri was the most boring, but at the end, when Leo appeared, it was interesting to see how it would end. And it turned out to be a boring story with the emperor and the fake Ciri, too.

All. Next season is the last, I'll watch it calmly and forget it :)

Well, it's not bad. This witcher is even more talented than the previous tree. It doesn't matter what the canon is, we're watching the series, not looking at second-rate books.

Absolutely amazing song in the credits!

I've been avoiding the series for years. I haven't read books, I haven't played games, and miskast doesn't bother me. I watched three seasons in one gulp, the fourth came out in 2 weeks - I didn't wait long. And it's like the whole season... Nothing about anything.. The plot is stomping on the spot, all the characters are essentially where they were and have remained, there is zero progress. Yes, Bonhart is a great killer, and that's it.

The first season I watched on rewind . I am wildly disappointed!

You don't have to convince me, bitch.

Thanks for the scene of the rats' showdown with this grandfather - the only worthwhile thing I'll take away from this season.

Damn, the queen made my evening, don't look at her mouth

As I understand it, season 5 is expected, the ending remains open)

You! Yes, you, who enjoyed this season, and who are smart enough to read the comments from the end. Do not read the comments above, so as not to be disappointed! Just get off this page! There are only critics here!

Leo's a legend, he cut down rats into light ones.

Mats in the RHS voiceover are a pain
Porn is a pain
Ian in his pants-what a pain!!!!!
A whole bunch of actor replacements... okay, at least two - a lot of pain.
We didn't even bother to keep the atmosphere that we had in seasons 1 and 2. Everything is so clumsy, even the voice acting didn't take it out, well...
it seems to me that no one has managed to deviate so much from the plot and let their imagination run wild. There is no game! There is no experience! Geralt and Milva's line was so hushed up that it was as if they were strangers to each other in the series, and the finale would be the same, respectively... Ciri doesn't seem to understand where she is or why. The Herald, too, feels like "don't sew a sleeve on your pussy", he's all out of the neighborhood...There is no cruel look, he smiles constantly. In my opinion, Hemsworth couldn't cope with this character, as if he didn't even try. At least Cavil had the excitement, because he's a fan.
I don't know how, after this, to force myself to look beyond this mess.

I scored only for the scene with Bonart. I didn't expect anything and wasn't going to watch this season until I came across a massacre of Rats in shorts.

"The Pied Piper" is the best character of season 4. I've been waiting for these assholes to get killed.
The only thing that was normal this season was sword fighting.

In fact, after this season, I realized that I was watching the series for the sake of the first Herald 🙏🏻

in general, of course, the season is full of grunge and grunge, but Leo is great and Geralt also had a couple of combat scenes)) of course, everything is bad, although I would even say that it is a little better than the third season)

I haven't read any books or played a game, but I enjoyed watching the first three seasons. I was unpleasantly surprised when I turned on the fourth one. At first, I couldn't even figure out what was wrong. And it's not even about replacing Geralt.

I just stopped believing everything that was happening on the screen. All the actions and words of the characters began to seem fake. Maybe something happened to me during the offseason, or maybe it was the director's fault, but I watched the season with great difficulty.

I remember most of all the series of battles with Vilgefortz — the most dynamic, although with its drawbacks. I'm going to watch the next season just to find out how the whole story ends.

In the end, of course, everything sucks, but if you don't read books or play games, then you can probably go in... under the beer... a lot of beer.....

Murdoch is fine

Funny shit

Hmm, I have mixed feelings about the season...
okay, Liam Hemsworth, I've gradually accepted it... but what was it all about?
However, it's like I've watched 8 episodes of the same thing.
I was only pleased with the abundance of monsters and monsters that were added to the series.
It would be interesting to see more similar action scenes
and so... the season is on 4/10 like

Well, at least in the end they showed how the witcher fights with the ogre, otherwise the whole series is some kind of hat.

It turned out to be a weak season, everything is somehow wrong, the color scheme is cold and bluish, everything is somehow cheap, there is very little Herald, and Liam does not have the same charisma as Cavill.
The only thing I liked was Leo Bonard. I'm waiting for their battle with the Herald next season!!!!

If the man with the mustache hadn't stabbed Bragin in the side, maybe he would have stuffed him.

The guy literally killed a gang of bandits, why I had to root for them is not very clear)

I had high hopes for the fourth season.…

When I started watching, I was scared of Liam, then I remembered that Henry was gone, and I was sad. By the end of the season, I got used to Liam (as they say, you get used to the bad things over time). If he had initially played Gerald, I think there would have been fewer questions, but in fact we have a sharp character change and Liam's attempts to overshadow the trailblazer.

Overall, the season was end-to-end and aimless for me. The new characters didn't catch on, the old ones didn't reveal themselves, the plot didn't move, I didn't experience any pleasure from watching this season.

Many people liked to follow the Rats, their appearance and storyline are an interesting twist, as is their demise. But the disappointment of Ciri's interaction with the gang has a brighter aftertaste. Immoral behavior, lack of purpose and desire to fight for your life, soul and strength - these are all the signs of Cirilla's adolescence on your face.

So far, the series is slackening, and the dubious success of season 4 is proof of that.

The best moment of the season is Leo Bonart dealing with rats. Well shot. The rats themselves and the actors playing them are as uninteresting and very annoying as possible. They do not arouse sympathy, and therefore their death did not cause any emotions. The season was worth watching just for Leo Bonart's sake.

The season is just terrible.. I watched it through. So it was necessary to try to destroy a good series.

It wasn't a bad season, it could have been worse.

the whole season is just disgustingly staged, such a hack. =/

It wasn't enough that Buttercup had retrained from a bard to a poet by the fourth season, leaving only a meaningless musical with Waldo as a souvenir instead of hits (no, it's nice to look at Beti in the style of a young Buttercup, but I'd rather turn on the first season). So they also threw out an episode in which Geralt fights off two arrows flying at Buttercup on the ferry, and Cahir gets fucked up from this, but they inserted a hit into Regis, pouring pathos. Thank you, at least the finale of "Baptism of Fire" with Geralt's knighthood was transmitted as reliably as possible, and Bonart's hunt for Rats turned out to be powerful, even if it was poorly prepared.
It seems that by the fourth season they began to turn to the original source more often, but they take random things and mix them generously with randomness, not creating a more coherent narrative, but only diluting the essence more. The more often the quasi-family relationship of the witcher and the sorceress with Ciri is mentioned, the less one believes in them, as if Destiny (and with it porn-parody-style sex) is being poked in the nose. A lot has already been said about the problems of casting and the composition of the characters used, and replacing Geralt is far from the biggest problem here.

The season is still more or less, although there are severe inconsistencies with the book/game
There was not a single confirmation that Ciri had sexual relations with a rat, but then they stuffed a bed scene with them.
The knighthood enlightenment looked pathetic...


Leo Bonard is the one who made this season better.

Class, we're done with something again. I thought Ciri wouldn't go back to the rats after all and would be able to find Geralt and Ian.

If it hadn't been for the massacre of the mice, it would have been a waste of time.

What a miserable action movie and special effects, a terrible season, it was so miserable that I stretched this season for a whole month...

The season is terrible, we watched it through the force

Your J.M.... how could you relate to such a beautiful work????!!! It's just that ENT has been turned into such a farce and such nonsense. Season 4 is a complete fuck-up. And why kill the key characters, well, they started making a big mess of it, well, at least make some drama out of it, the Persian was important to them all. And he was ridiculously overwhelmed, well, okay (Grandfather Vesemir died, and x.... with him)... In general, I'm not going to watch the sad fecal creation anymore... Henry "Man of Steel" Cavill made the right choice to leave this circus of freaks

I don't understand why there was a rush before the season, because it was immediately clear what was going on. I would have known, I would have looked at the very end. How did the rats survive all that time before meeting Ciri? They don't teach you how to fight at all. They just unwound them all in a minute. It was epic, I don't disagree.
I watched it without much enthusiasm, so I'll refrain from evaluating it. Let's see how it ends.

I haven't read a book or played a game, so I don't understand this whole haight 🤷🏻♀️ It's a normal season for me.

The best episode of the whole season, and even then, due to the shredding of rats, which were pretty much thrown up all season.

"We change stories too" is about this series)))

God, I've watched it.

Well, it was clear from the beginning of the season that the Rats would die, otherwise Ciri would reunite with Geralt and Ian, only if there was a chance at the beginning that someone would survive, then when Leo was first shown, it became clear that no one would survive. It's just a shame that Ciri came to his bait, just like them all (But the scene is tough, of course, at the end, where not only did you have to watch their deaths, but also the beheading ((For a moment it seemed that the guy was the leader of the rats, an ex-soldier who had a chance at least to survive, he fought with Leo the longest, but alas (and it was immediately clear that Ciri had no chance against him, unfortunately (And it seemed that Bonart decided not to kill her, but to take her alive (or I didn't understand his mission after all, it seemed the customer told him "kill everyone," including Ciri, but maybe it still meant to kill all the Rats)

I still ship with Kahira and Milva, I hope they will be in the series together, and not just one will sacrifice his life for the other, his special attitude towards her is very visible, it didn't seem to me in previous episodes) What a pair it would really be, fire!
And also, I Googled yesterday if Kakhir had a lover in books and the fact that he was in love with Ciri just took me into SPACE - aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA, but it's unlikely that they will do this in the series (fortunately). She also Googled who Ciri was with in the books and screamed that one of her boyfriend types was the one she left in the woods with a broken leg in the last episode, running away to the Rats. That's strong, of course, ahhah)))

There are many theories about who Nimue is because of her name and attitude towards Arthurian, but at least the option of the daughter of one of our heroes disappears, 100 years have passed there... Maybe a granddaughter, though...

I agree with the fact that Emhyr is no longer just a tyrant psychopath, but also a tube (well, what do you want if he wants to sleep with his daughter, of course, there have been balls for rollers for a long time), although he is also a clown - if his figure had some statuesque, OR caused fear in previous seasons, especially in at the end of the second one, then this season....

The TV series "Geralt and company") Our fellow travelers themselves are great, but this is some other series already, not to mention the fact that the pace of the narrative will get us to Nilfgard by the end of the season or to Ciri next, there will be no normal ending, and how sad it is that we spent the whole season going to Nilfgard, and we go there it wasn't necessary at all (But in the end, Nilfgard is coming to you! (most likely) well, Ciri will definitely be there now, there must be a final clash with the dead dad (I wonder who will kill Emhyr - Ciri, Geralt or Jennifer)
But no matter how much I love Ian, I agree that this season she's downright omnipotent (and we know that's not the case, that's what happened in Soden, and here she just TIRELESSLY crumbles everyone left and right), it's unrealistic and stupid, having already lost to Vilgefortz, to IMMEDIATELY GO back to him ALONE. In the hands of

I'm glad for the Sorceress's lodge, I told you in season 3 that we still have a Sisterhood, and finally it really will become one) And most importantly, what kind of personnel are left there - all with experience in politics, survival, war and combat + friendship, that's a great alliance.

I also think that in this world, even in the series, there really is no place for Geralt, Ciri and Ian to live together, if only for a moment, because Ciri must save everyone and become the queen of Cintra (probably), and one of our two may, according to the law of the genre (or both), not live to see the finale. And if they suddenly lived, where would they go to stay in the castle with Ciri? Geralt is a monster hunter, Ian will probably join the Lodge too and there will be things, the three of them will not live as a family anymore, considering that the alternative is running for the rest of their lives

Well, the moment when Geralt realizes that he has tied himself to fate again, with another queen now - it's funny, of course))

There were a lot of fights in the season, and the scene on the bridge (and in Radovid's camp) were good, but in general, the season was three, of course, Hemsworth really wasn't the main problem (although it was PHYSICALLY UNBEARABLE to watch the first half of the first episode), then through the scene it was normal-not normal

8 episodes of suffering, for the sake of the last 10 minutes of high.

In the book, the fate of rats was sad, but here too, alas. Moreover, the massacre of them was filmed quite qualitatively. I realized from the second season that there would be a maximum of half of the book here, and maybe even less, so I don't want to spit on every discrepancy, and in general the season turned out to be quite good, you can close your eyes to a lot, but it's still a shame for Regis.
The new Geralt fit in, by the way, it could have been worse.

Well, what can I say, the Year of the Rat

I'm so glad there are no more rats.. I'm sorry, this thread in the series was really annoying.

I haven't read any books about the Witcher, and I haven't played any games. I sympathize with the fans)))
She, who was used to Cavill, was spitting from the news of the replacement. But by episode 3-4, it wasn't so cringe-worthy or even normal.
The season itself was much less emotionally exciting. In theory, the whole season is tragedy upon tragedy - the same teenagers with a difficult fate, Ciri's loneliness, battles, losses in them, etc.; and here you are watching, following the plot, understanding everything, but not really getting involved.
In general, it is quite possible to watch, but it is far from the delights of the first seasons.

After such a season, the series can be closed.

Well, not bad, to be honest. It could have been worse, but it turned out what it turned out to be. I'm looking forward to the new season.

Honestly? After replacing Henry with Liam, I feel like I'm watching a stupidly different series. Maybe it's my psyche that's triggered it, well, the defense mechanism is so peculiar. I tried to forget that there was an original, in the sense of a book, I just looked at it as a fantasy. I can't say that I'm looking forward to the next season, because I won't be impatient when it comes out, then that's fine. But still, some of the actors tried, so well done.

It's a good season. But how much the characters have changed, in some episodes Ciri looks 30+, and in the branch there should be no more than 20
In some episodes, there was a feeling that Jennifer was completely different, I mean, an actress.
Although maybe I just wasn't paying attention.
In general, the series is good, I like it, I'll be waiting for the new season)

My sister was right to stop watching after Henry Cavill left.
