The show is based off of the books (such as The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny) which is canon, so you have absolutely no issue skipping Witcher 3 (which is not canon to the books, but takes the books as canon). At all. So it isn’t necessary to play.
My sisters have never touched either the books or the games (despite me trying xD), and loved every minute of it and had no problem following it. Tons of people who haven’t played the games or read the books watched it just fine (hence the 80k resurgence on Steam, tons of new players), it is just some couldn’t
slight spoiler?
understand they were skipping time until the end (of which I noticed they admitted they either weren’t paying attention to dialogue or never watched non-linear shows before so take that as you will).
Lastly, the books/games and the show are two different identities. They are not meant to be the same things, never were. Sure, if you read the books you’ll be able to know how it’ll all end, but the show takes creative liberties and changes a few things (so the journey is different anyhow), so you will be completely safe just watching the show if that is all you want to do. If you play Witcher 3, it will have absolutely no impact on how you see the show. Whatsoever. You’ll find you’ll have a great time playing a wonderful game, and probably come to appreciate the characters you see (even more?), but that’s it.
So i just finished watching Ad Astrum and… it’s so bad. It butchers science so much i feel a need to slap it’s director in a face and as a human drama it’s also not very deep.
Watching the Messiah. I really hope it is leaning toward a godly like message instead of a con. It would be a nice change of pace. Regardless though, I do like the message it is trying to get out through the Messiah even if he ends up being a con (haven’t finished the show yet). It is a shame what divides people.
I finished the Messiah. It was definitely really good. It probably won’t be something really hard core religious fanatics dig (you know, people who can’t stand things made about religion) or anti-religious people like, but I thought it was really good. I hope we get a S2.
Still in the middle of Witcher season 1, I really need to just hunker down and finish it. I’m loving it so far, and rejoicing because it’s now overtaken the Mandolorian as the Number one streaming show right now. Bodes well for continued seasons.
Also my wife and I sat down and watched Twilight for the first time for both of us. It was… yeah. Any good scenes were immediately followed by bad acting and directing choices. Surprisingly interesting, but if I’d gone in theaters to watch it when I was younger I probably would have come out disappointed.
I watched The Lighthouse recently, which, well if you like slow burning arty horror unease films then go for it…personally not for me…Dafoe was good though.
Also, halfway through The Mandalorian (lttp I know)…it’s surprisingly great!…I take it back a little, just finished episode 6 and the past three episodes have been kinda bad…especially the sixth one itself…seems like the Favreau episodes (i think he did the first three) have been good, and the others have been not so good. It’s been downhill, so i hope 7 and 8 redeem the show.
On the flip side, bestie and I used to watch a series called Lucifer. It was really good - until they introduced a ‘mother’ character. After that, the punch of the series just kind of faded. The actor playing the lead is really good though. I think the writing went too pop culture. shrug
I dont know how to do spoilers in this site so if you want to watch the movie dont read any further …
