i was ready to quit the witcher season 4 after episode 1 but im so glad ...

The Witcher season 4 is a real mixed bag, starting off weak before getting stronger towards the final few episodes. Liam Hemsworth isn't the star here either, but the payoff for season 5 should be explosive.

Pros

  • Liam Hemsworth blends into the cast incredibly well
  • Laurence Fishburne is the real standout newbie
  • Episodes 5-8 are some of the strongest in the franchise
  • The Battle of Montecalvo is even better than in the books
  • The ideal set-up for the fifth and final season

Cons

  • The events of season 3 are recapped terribly
  • Episode 1 is particularly difficult to follow if you've forgotten what's happened
  • The first half of season 4 looks visually cheap
  • Liam Hemsworth is scarcely seen
  • Feels like season 4 part 1 rather than a full series
