No wieners, lots of boobs. The "hunchback titties" belong to this woman.

I enjoyed The Witcher. I did not have high expectations nor had I read any of the books or played any of the games.
The show is indifferent towards the audience regarding the timeline of events as presented. The world and the storyline(s) are not exactly spoon-fed either. Ironically, I think that's why critics are nailing it, but audience scores are much higher.
Some of the Witcher episodes have pockets of genius, like episode 3 with the Striga arc.
But most of the shows “main arc” is kinda shit, with typical “network tv” banter/dialogue and general shitty costumes. The armors in the show are poorly done with the platemail being clearly visible as spray-painted plastic. The ballsack armor is almost comical and an eyesore.
I just watched the episode where Yennifer tries to save the baby and the mother from the assassin and his pet. I thought it was really well done.
The story arc with the cursed hedgehog dude and the princess was so fucking confusing though. I had no idea what was going on. Really shitty writing.
I figured that out at the end. It was all the other shit that happened at that ball that could have been clearer with better writing. It seems, in most episodes, the writers responsible for the dialogue had never actually had a conversation before in their lives. I still don't know why that queen hated the hedgehog so much and tried to kill him. All the overacting, dramatic faces the actors made during the whole thing weren't adequately explained during the actual scene and it was annoying. It doesn't help that Cavill only seems to have one expression either. They must have hired him for his granite jaw and ignored his lack of acting talent.
I'm in the middle of the dragon episode now and enjoying it. The overall series is actually enjoyable, you just have to watch with a less than critical eye and hope the writing improves next season.

Explains a lot from the perspective of the games which is changed up a bit for the show.
