When I read that The Witcher's executive producer, Tomek Baginski, had blamed Americans and young people forNetflix's depiction of Andrzej Sapkowski's fiction is, at times, truncated, tonally different and simplified from the source material . But is that supposed to be news to people, or something massively unexpected?
Simplifying the source material may be disappointing for fans of the original fiction, but it doesn't excuse Netflix's The Witcher from delivering a bad show. Indeed, my own personal take on The Witcher TV series is that Netflix's changes have diluted the fiction too much, with it serving up a soap opera take that feels only Witcher-y on the surface and often descends into generic fantasy.
This compares favorably in my opinion to the Netflix show, where many scenes are shot closer, leaning into the soap opera feel, while episodes frequently bounce around in location and time at a rapid pace. Personally, I much prefer the look of Alzur's Legacy, which gives its characters and environments space to breathe. For its low budget, this movie does a great job of depicting the world its characters live in.
