As for this episode, I thought it was a stronger one for sure and with a more coherent timeline and the introductions done, I am left with nothing but hope. We still have so many questions like, how will Yennefer come back, what exactly happened to Geralt and why he was left with his father figure Vesemir, and what’s the exact process of being turned into a Witcher is? Season two has enough intrigue and stakes to make a better more cohesive narrative. This final episode laid the groundwork for what could be, potentially, a fantastic second season. The episode finally concluded with her running toward Geralt as they head to Kaer Morhen, most likely to get her trained up as a Witcher herself. Seeing her lead a group was a good end to her arc this season.Ĭiri, this time around, said very little as she was hiding from the army.
I loved the first fifteen minutes when the build-up felt meaningful seeing Yennefer take charge was a nice change to her character, as she had to work with the other mages. This happened during another two or three scenes and made the episode feel slow and poorly paced.
In the very next scene, we saw Triss gradually reach toward the ground, slowly chanting, and building up her power. For example, as the battle began we got a shot of a woman building up her power for what felt like a solid minute straight. With a few back-to-back shots of characters that would last far too long. The action was a standout this episode, as watching the mages fight for their lives against the Nilfgaardians, was, at times, both a spectacle and a bore. It was nice to see some conflict that is more than just money and killing. During which we get flashbacks to him as a child, seeing him abandoned by his mother. As Geralt makes his final trek towards Ciri, the Brotherhood of Sorcerers fight the oncoming Nilfgaardian army, and Geralt is attacked by some creatures that put him out commission for the rest of the episode. “Much More” acted as a much-needed character-building episode for our burly hero, Geralt of Rivia. However, even if these issues were persistent throughout these last few episodes, I really found myself enjoying the show.

Plus, if you want a Witcher fix beyond Season 1, you can check out the novel series by author Andrzej Sapkowski. During the wait for the show to finally return, you can always revisit the first season streaming on Netflix (opens in new tab) now. While the wait for The Witcher Season 2 isn't over just yet, there is not an end to hiatus in sight, and that's more than fans have had to go on beyond some quick glimpses for a long time.
A close friend is lost - and another found - as Geralt helps Ciri learn more about her power. Geralt explores the mystery of the monoliths. Basically, if you weren't already hyped for Season 2, the premiere date and new looks might have done the trick. As a powerful mage joins the hunt for Ciri, she cuts a deal with Vesemir over his extraordinary discovery. In case there was any doubt that the witchers at Kaer Morhen would put Ciri through the wringer, the image of Ciri training with Lambert should dispell that notion.
