They're my favourite character dynamic. Jaskier tries to act like he mistrusts her, yet when the fire mage threatened her, he screamed begging him to not hurt her with full sincerity. In other words, even though he was only pretending to be her husband, he definitely acted like one. Alas he cares about Yennefer more than he likes to admit.

Jednak ten polski wiedźmin z 2001 roku nie był taki zły. Jest tu masa ludzi którzy usprawiedliwiają zmiany wobec książek tym ze jest to luźna adaptacja, ale jeżeli zmieniane są główne motywację bohaterów i ich harakter, to do dupy z taką adaptacja. Ja oglądając ten serial nie czułem się jak bym oglądał wiedźmina, tam nie ma żadnej więzi np między wiedźminami, eskel jest gorszym skórwysynem od Lamberta, eskel przychodzi z polowania jest ranny a reszta ma to w dupie. Ten serial wygląda średnio ale napisany jest do dupy, i zadne argumenty że to luźna adaptacja nie uratują tego serialu i nie przekonają mnie do niego. Wiedźmin został po prostu wykastrowany z klimatu, jest to takie amerykańskie nie wiadomo co, wygląda to jak każde fantasy z hoolywood. Ponadto wnerwia mnie te tłumaczenie netfliksa ze trzymają się książek, no niestety ale nie, zostawili jedynie kilka wątków a reszta nawet nie jest podobna do wiedźmina. I osobiście wolał bym żeby ten serial miał niższy budżet ażeby to było przedstawienie faktycznej historii, i rozumiem zmiany bo nie ma możliwości zaadaptować książki w 100 % ale te głupoty co oni tam nawymyslali to przechodzą ludzkie pojęcie.

Yeah gotta disagree with this. Their reasoning for Eskel was just simply not a good one. I was genuinely hoping for an explanation that could allow me to see it from their side so that I might get on board with the idea. There’s so many ways they could’ve done this. And they also didn’t need to kill so many or even so quickly. We barely got to meet any of the other witchers to care enough. It was too rushed. And getting back to eskel, why did they make him such a dick?? They should’ve made HIM lambert. At least the personality would’ve been more fitting. So not only did they kill him for no good reason but they also disgraced his character. Like whyyyyy

Henry is a professional, he's been in the business for a while and knows how this stuff works.

This show may not be the truest to the books, but it's the one a media company was willing to fund and Geralt is fully aware of this, that's why most of the stuff he pushes for (at least that he won) is pretty small all things considered.

I liked the season, but for me it was not better than the first one. IMO there are some flaws in the way they decided to tell the story, not the story itself, but just the crafting of it, I definitely pinning it on the writing. That said, the writing of characters was very well done I thought. I just think they missed the mark with some set-ups, which naturally affects the pay-offs. As far as Eskel dying and other things that are said to be "not like the books", I get the attachment of people, the respect they have for this, but I would advice to take the experience as it and criticise it on the grounds of what is trying to achieve.

Am I the only one who picked up on how many times Henry kept saying “loyal to the books”?

Henry has been saying this constantly since before the first season came out. I think it's less about him trying to course correct the overall story to be more like the books, and more that he really values the details being faithful. In every interview I've watched he talks about he hard he works to play Geralt's personality as much like the source material as he can. I doubt he has much say over the story of the entire season as a whole, but it seems like he has a fair bit of ability to correct and make adjustments to things as they go. For example he's talked about helping create fight scenes, improvising scenes to make them more accurate, making adjustments to his swords and other equipment to be more accurate, etc etc

i still find Lauren's explanation for Eskel's death as an excuse for bad writing. because i didn't had any issue that Eskel died, but my issue is mostly with the way he died. you just introduced a character that is having a fanbase and killed him after 10 mins. it's like the character has nothing to offer to the show rather than just a plot point. and If the show runners really thought about making his death as an impactful one. They could have made his death more emotional and impactful by showing him helping Geralt and others to fight against the Leshen and getting impaled by it fatally.. it would have been more impactful if 2 Witchers had died in that episode. So seeing this kind of explanation makes me fear that the show runners are going to deviate further from the books to create more cliché gotcha plots. For now i just hope that they give more value to source material and stick with it . Don't treat this Witcher series as some kind of Game of thrones trope.
