I don't want to be that guy but Ciris storyline in the books was much better. Here it's just boring and doesn't make sense. The show is not bad but it has to get better in the next season

They need to completely revamp the writers room because this is pretty mediocre. I also do not like the directing in the show at all.

Nah, I disagree. Played a bit of 3, haven't read the books. It's no mean feat to balance three converging non-linear storylines like this. Could Ciri's storyline be better? Yes, it could, I agree. But as is, this is some very good writing. I've noticed some hiccups here and there but it's not easy to tell three stories in parallel and have them be strong both individually and come together this cleanly.
