Why this petition matters

Started by John Barrett

The Witcher Season 1 is a potentially amazing series but arguably very confusing, with the editing of three different characters storylines on mostly three different timelines. It constantly cuts between them chaotically with no obvious distinction in many an opinion of where you are in the overall story and of what is future, past or present.

Season 2 is linear and it is all the better for it. It's amazing in my opinion whether its true to the books or taking big liberties. I havent read the books which I'm sure are brilliant. It represents the game as I remember very well.

The linear editing in S2 editing allows us to follow the characters easily and build up empathy and so gives the viewer a real sense of danger and excitement for them instead of trying to figure what is going on. The characters, the cinematography, action and story explode out to us and we can enjoy them free from distraction by a convoluted timeline.

I simply ask for a more linear edit of Season 1 to be produced, replacing the current one because that is where we are introduced to the characters and world, where we should form a strong empathy and wonderment, not frustration.
