Why Freya Allan is disappointed with season 2

Amidst all the praises The Witcher is raking in, Freya Allan aka Ciri shows is not happy about season 2 of the series. In a recent interview with TheWrap, the young actor expresses disappointment in the show’s razor-sharp focus on relationships, ignoring the monsters. “It’s like every season I’m not satisfied in terms of the fighting. This season I was like, Can’t I just fight the monster?” the artist commented. She further added that in her reply, the writers said “No, we have to leave something [for future seasons]”.

Well, it’s not completely uncalled for. With respect to the storyline so far, the adaptation is not only slow, but the fighting is not intense either. In season 1 of The Witcher, the viewers find the main leads spanning different time periods and fighting monsters. Therefore, the series manages to set a firm foundation for the next season. However, season 2 couldn’t didn’t have the same level of electric action sequences as the first one. While writers were focusing on the bonds between the main characters, they totally ignored the action.

Despite showing Ciri training vigorously to fight the monsters, there are no actual scenes of her fighting them, which obviously disappointed the enthusiastic actor as she adds, “I always want to do more than I’m given”.
