One recurring creative choice keeps detracting from the story.
Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for The Witcher Season 3, Volume 1.While Season 3 of The Witcher is building up to be the series’ best, Netflix’s adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski’s fantasy books still feels too scattered at times. The Continent has grown larger than ever, with dozens of key characters clashing for power while rogue mages have their own scheme to take control.
Episode 1 of Season 3 also proves The Witcher can conjure its best action set pieces when the found family is kept together. In the new season's first episode, the main characters unite to lay a trap for Rience , the fire mage who’s been hunting Ciri since Season 2. The battle that ensues is arguably the best of the entire show, showcasing everyone’s unique abilities and finding the time to show how even a non-warrior like Jaskier can be essential to victory.
‘The Witcher’ Works Better When It Focuses on Its Family Unit It’s easy to understand why Season 3 of The Witcher chose to split up the family for most of Volume 1. After Season 2 of the show was criticized for steering away from the source material, showrunner Lauren Schmidt-Hissrich confirmed the series would be more faithful to Sapkowski’s third book, Time of Contempt.
