Continuity mistake: When Geralt fights the Striga, he ends up lying on his back with the Striga on top of him. To escape, he uses his magic to "punch" through the floor. The first attempt fails, its only effect is to blow away some dead leaves. At the second attempt a few seconds after, leaves are back on the floor.

I watched the first two seasons on Netflix.
This show had potential, it really did. I've never actually played the Witcher games, nor read any of the books. So I went into this with minimal knowledge about the IP and no prior attachment.
Henry Cavil is great casting as Geralt and a lot of the rest of the cast are good also. Season 1 is a bit of a mess as they try to do the Chris Noland thing and jump around all over the place on the timeline back and forth. I could follow it for the most part, but it did get confusing at times. But a good enough story
Season 2, they thankfully kept much more linier and the story was really good. I was actually invested in what was going on. And at the time of finishing season 2 I was looking forward to seeing what came next. Which then they did that Nightmare of the Wolf animated Witcher movie. That was great! I liked that one a lot.
and then... the drama happened. I don't remember the full story but basically they took it in directions Cavil didn't like, finally he walked from the project and they recast Geralt. Hearing this, and how they were then changing and butchering the story going forward. I did not continue with the series. Yeah Cavil was did play in season 3, but the problems had already started and we already knew by that point he was recast for season 4. So I didn't bother with season 3 and beyond. And I doubt I'll go back. I got other things to watch.
I only watched the first two seasons, and then the Nightmare of the Wolf animated movie.. and left it at that.
Mistake Status: N/A.
Trivia: **SPOILERS** When the demon takes over Ciri's body she dreams about being back at the party her grandmother had at their castle, and she sees her grandmother, Mousesack, her mother and her father. When she starts to question if it's really her grandmother, Mousesack and her mother all turn to ash and blow away. If you pay attention, you'll notice that her father does not turn to ash which is a foreshadow for later when it's revealed that he is in fact still alive.
