Getting four seasons is not a flop. I agree the first season was terrible, I never end bothered with any more but it clearly got the numbers.

There's an interesting take. Most people I've heard from said the first season was the good one and then everything went to crap as the writers tried to put their spin on things.

That character has its fanatics who ignored all the problems of the first season. Good god it was such a steaming pile of dogshit.

They “only” spent 8 mill an episode and the whole thing looked like a poorly funded REN Fair. The most shockingly terrible part was the various creatures the Witcher fought. To say they looked like something from the 80s Land of the Lost is generous.

The characters made no sense.

And then there was the whole Toss a Coin To the Witcher song.. Holy fuck…

Ugh, that song. I don't remember much of what I saw when I watched it but I remember that song and I can definitely agree that was horrible and out of place, along with just about everything involving that bard character. Normally, shows wait until their rating flag before bringing in the character whose whole purpose is to be annoying. They didn't wait.
