The Witcher has undoubtedly been one of the biggest Netflix shows. But in recent times, it has been in discussions, mostly for the decisions regarding it. Apart from cast change, character change has been an issue that creator Lauren Hissrich has finally admitted about. Especially in regard to season 2, she received feedback about Yennfer’s actions. The witch played by Anya Chalotra who is Geralt’s love interest, apparently received way more focus than the book source.
While the book focuses on the main character, the show has her doing things that leave him losing his trust in her. Hissrich called this a ‘story problem’, but fans feel that it would’ve never happened if they had stuck to the source material. Although she has promised of reconnecting love between the two in the next and third season.
Now the fans are calling out Hissrich for making mistakes with the storyline, wondering how it will all be wrapped up by the end.
