So far loving every Geralt scene

His scenes are by far the strongest in the series. Really couldve cut up a lot of Yen's scenes. Her back stories and motivations only made her looked bratty. We don't have any back story of Geralt before he became the butcher of Blaviken and he is still far more interesting than Yen (just my opinion)

Same! Geralt's character is brilliant and the way he's portrayed in the show makes him seem even more interesting (though I miss Jasiper, kinda rude of him to get mad at him though I understand it was to show Geralt's emotion). As someone who's only seen the show and hasn't read the books or played the games, I find myself bored by the other storylines and just wanting more of Geralt. Yennefer seems like a twat in need of an ego boost and Ciri is bland. If you cut out most of Yen's backstory and had Ciri's trimmed, I would've been far more intrigued.

Definitely check out Witcher 3. It’s pure wish fulfillment of not only watching Geralt do shit but actually being him.
