Review of Reunion

The Witcher: Reunion (2023)
Season 3, Episode 3
The show is losing me
9 July 2023
... not because I'm not going to watch it anymore - I will finish it just to see where it goes - but I don't know what's happening anymore. That's a true feat considering I went over books twice (once through audio book), completed all 3 games as well as played standalone TCG Gwent so I know characters and the world better than most people. I can't imagine people watching this without having prior knowledge. So little time is spent on developing newly introduced characters and scenes jumps so often and nothing make sense to the point that I'm seriously starting to lose track of what's going on. It almost feels individual scenes are taken first without any directions, and then had to be cut and stitched together to have at least some resemblance of overarching story. It's so disconnected at this point that I had to clear my memory of what I already know about the source materials but when I do that, things actually got much worse because I realized that I've been unintentionally making justification and filling plot holes with what I already know. I know Henry Cavil's drama & leak stuff but never cared at this point but wow... this is much worse than I thought.
