They are basically doing all the backstories for the characters over many different centuries. Geralt and Yennifer are in their 100s when they meet Ciri for instance. Instead of just focusing on one person and then saying "Okay, forget them for a while" they are doing them all at once. Season two should bring it all together.
I just watched through the witcher for a second time. There are a lot of nice hidden details that you dont really notice on the first run through.
But I agree the conversations are generally poorly done, and the order of events makes things confusing.
I feel some of the casting is a little weak. The actresses who plays yennifer and triss are not the best choices, yennifers actress is beautiful but dont give me the dangerous feeling I get from the yennifer of the books. Nor is she as vengeful as i would of hoped
I feel Caville hits his role out of the park though.
Also the fights. Some are brilliant, some have too much going on and are either confusing or badly written. I found the defense of the mages very badly done. The only guy I liked was the sword mage.
Still excited for the 2nd season, now that the world building is mostly done. I hope they slap in a few more monster hunts as I feel the Striga episode was the best of the series and people love seeing old fables brought to life.
The problem with the approach the writers and directors have taken is that they assume the viewers know about that world and so fail to explain what's going on for those viewers who aren't familiar with the stories or games. I'm familiar with the games but I still spend more time than I should going, "what the fuck was that about?"Quote:

The fights are really enjoyable, you are right about that.
I will say this for Cavill: He uses the word "fuck" to good effect.
All I can say is The Mandalorian is fucking awesome!

Looks like they won't be doing the time skipping for the second season.
