The Witcher: Les Sirènes des abysses

I admit, I am biased. Spoiled by the excellent writing and story of the books, I expect more and more from the series. Not everything has to be perfect, or even royal. But it HAS TO captivate the same soul.

It has to....

This show does not.

I am furious, how they decapitated the story. It had love, determination, conflict, understanding, regret.. This is the story I recommend to my friends if I want them to get into the Witcher universe or even fantasy fiction. I don't remember how many times I've read that story from the books, and cried.

I love crying, when it is over beauty. Yes, drama can be art.

This one isn't.

It is silly, unprofessional, absurd, shallow, ugly and most importantly, soulless.

I can understand what you did to the show.

I can understand why you did a silly spin-off.

But this animation is like drawing a mustache to Mona Lisa.

As books and games fan I have to say. Netflix still doesn't understand what Witcher is even about. They made it another Hollywood movie with lot's of fights and very little amount of dialogue. Everything that made the short story so emotional and beautiful in the book is gone here. Also, for the most part I was just bored and that's because Geralt is so overpowered here. He literally has all human-sized monsters on one hit. He killed at least 30 of the vodniks. We simply aren't worried for the main characters. As its own thing this is just another generic animated movie with a generic plot. As a Witcher adaptation, it's just poor.

I am a fan of the witcher books and the games,I tried to watch this show with an open mind but so many issues kept cropping up it made the movie unwatchable for me.

Cat potion should not be treated as some super strength serum and Aard should not be able to pull you only push.

You need to stick to the source material if you want witcher fans to watch it.but on a sidenote Having a animated show about the witcher is a nice idea.it becomes easier to execute than a movie especially the monsters.

Just better writing please,these mistakes are so silly and easily rectified but to a witcher fan it's annoying to see.

You have a gold mine here in story but it's poorly executed Anyway avoid this if you a witcher fan.

I haven't read the books, but I've watched anything Witcher related out there and I'm a big fan of the games. Although the fighting scenes with Geralt are perfect and entertaining, I feel like the entire thing lacked the emotion I'm used to with the games. The music in the background was barely audible, which took away a lot of the tension and feeling it usually creates. What you can hear the most is the sword slashing and voice acting (including breathing and whatnot), or other times just complete silence (which is usually used to create a certain atmosphere) that seems out of place. The story is pretty predictable and too much Little Mermaid like. The reasoning behind the characters' actions is too simple, in a way that makes you think "that's all there is to it?".

I think it had potential to be something good, even with the story being written as it was, if the rest of it managed to pull your heart into it by creating that Witcher feel. As it stands, it felt a bit disconnected or lacking at times. It was kinda boring because it completely missed the mark to be honest...

Christina wren's English accent is just dreadful. It's like she's just watched Oliver Twist over again to try and capture a cockney accent but butchers it completely. Why they didn't just hire someone with an English accent is beyond me.

Storyline is boring.

Action is good.

Besides Wren, voice acting is good. Interesting to get a bit of background on dandelion. Don't know why they made him a giant pussy though.

There's some mad similarities to this story and the little mermaid which is hilarious.

I can't tell you how bad the accent is. It's literally making me want to lower my rating more.
