Yeah, and they probably wanted a lead actor who wasnt some big fan of the source material. A necessary sacrifice for Henry returning as Superman fulltime I guess, but season 3 will probably be the last I see of this show.
I mean, I'm not a fan of goth but I could write good goth if I had to.
You don't need to like a thing to cater to people who like a thing, it isn't hard. Unless you actively hate your audience so much you simply refuse to.

"We need writers who are close, but not too close. Who love the world, but aren't afraid to question it. Who are fans, but are willing to step back and open their minds, in order to bring their beloved world to our real (big) one."
Yeah I'm giving Witcher a fat dislike when that season hits. You can make a masterpiece halfway but if you think I'm gonna eat the intentional turd end of that sandwich, you can go not be as familiar with a hornet's nest and slap one. Bring that to your real world.
The whole point of fiction entertainment is escapism, why would I want a relatable world especially in it's current state? This just feels like plants put in to purposely kill our medias.
Geralt was the only good thing about it, the politics between humans and the elves, or the body snatcher and her schemes, I could care less about.

So far, it's been too much politics and not enough Witchering IMO. And the politics is boring. If they're going to have a big focus of the narrative be on political intrigue, at least make it interesting.

Yeah this has just gone off a cliff with horrendously bad writing choices. Killing Roach, turning Eskel into a Leshen, having Yennefer spend an entire season trying to sacrifice Ciri, Jaskier and Radovid having sex. The way King Visimir is portrayed. Making Keira Metz a fat, ugly, big nosed Tramp.
Absolute mind boggling choices.
You can almost forgive Rings of Power for their abomination (character assassinations aside) because they didn't have the rights to a lot of Tolkien's lore but there is zero excuse for what they've done with this as they had full rights to all the books.
From what I gather, it's barely getting 300,000 viewers per episode now. This franchise is dead. What a waste.
How many great IPs have now been ruined by terrible writers?

Imagine having the hubris of being a writer who has never created anything meaningful, reading the works of revered, massively popular and successful writers and thinking "I can do their stories better than they can".
Bonkers.

Maybe the studios aren't getting top writers because their compensation is abysmal and the good writers won't do it. Or maybe they only hire based on lowest bid, because they're cheap.
A writer's strike is happening for a reason, I'm inclined to believe many talents are out there but aren't getting the work.

The issue is they come at things completely wrong nowadays.
It used to be that people with passion for a project had to bow and scrape and beg to get funding from studios to get their vision made.
Now studios buy up rights then hire whoever is looking for work to get them made regardless of whether those people care about the project or not. If their compensation for it is a flat rate then they'll put as little time and effort into it as possible. The result is mountains of trash.
Then there's the aspect of just how much is being churned out across cinema, subscription and the enormous plethora of streaming services nowadays. Hardly anything is successful and what few films and shows that do make an impact are then milked to death (think Stranger Things)
Thankfully there's still a handful of directors who actually give a shìt about creating quality work specifically for cinema (Nolan, Villeneuve, Tarantino)

How on earth did Star Trek end up in the half of the company split that didn't give a crap about Trek?
That's just dumb.
