    I very much enjoy watching interviews with Anja Chalotra. She comes across as very humble, and seems willing to give other people credit for good things. This is a rare capacity, I think, among human beings: an accomplished person who seems happy when others do well and get the attention.

    Many people die...It was about time actually...First season I loved the character of Calanthe and the actress was astonishing.But the fact she died makes the plot intriguing, she was confident, a character with gravity and strength, she had to die for the plot to start taking interest.The series are fantastic, I wish there were 2 or 3 more episodes, one digit in episodes is painful to see.

    it's a pleasant surprise to hear Lauren openly admit to engaging with and reading fan theories but I also worry for her. Sadly lawsuits happen. from fans accusing writers of stealing their work or otherwise, to the point of it being explicitly demanded in their contracts that they avoid engaging with any written material about their show. Witcher fans are amazing, though, and I hope none of them stoop to that level. And I'm happy with whatever Lauren made into her own story and that she gets to engage with fans about any of it.

Not to mention they rushed through 2 books OF SHORT STORIES that were setting up the characters and the premise of the actual plot, the story really starts with BoE so it makes sense to start taking it slow now.

      @@markelele2800 cool dude, call us when you finally produce your series version of the witcher. Since you’re so smart you probably know how easy it is to cater to everyone when making an eight episode series. Especially when it comes to a full-fledged fantasy show. I love how people like you always think they are so smart when you have no idea how many people work on projects, how many ideas and how many aspects people need to think about when making a global show.

    One thing that you actually need to know about the 2nd season... ist disappointing for ones that didn't read the books, cringe for those who played the games, and utter garbage who did read the books and play the games

      BoE doesn’t have much action to begin with. The majority of it is setup and training. Let the adults enjoy their show
