That is praised that criticizes
For a better understanding of the pure numbers, we summarize you summarized what the magazines have fallen and what it still has to criticize in Season 2.
That's positive
Clearly accessible narrative structure: Elimination of difficult to understand time jumps from Season 1. Higher production value: Among others The ugly BillGuard armor were exchanged. Generally far more attention to detail. Big focus on main characters: Special Gerald and Jennifer with fantastic spectacle. Many greats in scene set vision
That's negative
Some minor character storylines are coming briefly Voltage sheet is not always upright.
Here you will find the spoiler-free criticism of the Gamester:
Even colleague Maurice was already able to watch the first six episodes of the 2nd season The Witcher in advance and had a lot of fun. Among other things, the narrative structure, which deviates from the episodic narration of the first season, is now much rectilinear and more accessible.
A second beginning: The Season 2 had the books and no longer the short stories for presentation, we experience a second beginning of the series, so to speak. In positive means that a lot of time is taken for the main characters, including the Father's daughter ratio between Gerald and Cirri. In the negative but also that the consequences of to Maurice are not always so exciting.
