I quit watching the original "Witcher" series about 10 times before forcing myself to finish - it was painful. And that was just season 1.
It's still not good, but I probably went into "Blood Origin" with a much more open mind than most people because I saw that the writing credits included writers from "
Bosch" and "
Man in the High Castle".
I would say this, if the writers of the original "Witcher" series had also written "Blood Origin", there's no way in hell I would have given "Blood Origin" 1 minute of my time.
