My understanding is The Witcher jumps back and forth between multiple timelines without actually telling the audience this, which can cause some confusion or feeling like you've missed something. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet despite hearing good things about it.
Ars Technica had a review of Teenage Bounty Hunters that was pretty positive: [link]
Witcher jumps between a few spots in the timeline -- it becomes clear about mid-season how the threads come together, but it's rough going until then if you don't at least know the characters from the game world and/or novels (and even then, the plot was weird). If you're ok with spoilers, there are guides and charts and graphs out there, or if not, some reassurance that it all makes sense later may (but also may not) help?
It's really good, and has a ton of pretty, and great women characters, if you decide to stick it out.
I'm also enjoying the Witcher fic explosion. But yes, I sort of had to just ride it out and figure it would all come together eventually. Which it did.
And if you like the bard, he's in a band called The Amazing Devil, and I really liked their recent album, The Horror and the Wild.

I wasn't familiar with the Witcherverse before watching the show, but just knowing there were multiple timelines was really helpful.
Huh. I saw that everybody was watching The Witcher a while back but I hadn't gotten around to myself and didn't feel it was a very pressing need but I'm a bit more intrigued now. Interesting.
I didn't LOVE it, but it was nicely watchable in that Netflix-snacky kind of way.
I'm with Jessica. Also, I kind of love Jaskier.
Next time I'm in the mood for that sort of thing I will check it out. Well, maybe after Umbrella Academy which I do feel more urgent about...
Just an FYI that my wife is consuming Doom Patrol (maybe only on HBO Max in the US?) At an alarming rate. She tried Umbrella Academy and finds this way better.
She just compared it to Doctor Who in terms of the line it walks that happily hits super weird, heartwarming, and funny.
I watched the pilot with her but she has left me in the dust now.
Also it has a character called Danny Street who is a sentient, genderqueer, teleporting street. Just seems like a Buffista kinda show.

Do what now? Non-human sentient character is totally my jam. I have to check that one out.
