Why should I watch The Witcher?

[Niniel]

I watched the first two episodes and thought it looked cheap and that the actors were bad. I guess the story was presented in a good way. People seem to love the series though. What am I missing? Will I change my mind if I continue to watch?  I have not read the books and not played the games.

Ditto started watching seemed promising but just fell off after a while

I've watched the whole season. Didn't play the games or even know it had a book. I really enjoyed the main actor and the fight scenes. I admit to being disappointed that the monsters look like they came from syfy. That seems more of a budgeting issue or not being prepared for what it takes to make them more realistic. The actor is great as the character and I don't mind the yennefer chick too. Try to just enjoy the main story they're building and don't focus to much on the monster mash and you might like it more ?

I´m not sure I will give it more time.

Watch Watchmen instead
