You have to give them credit. Their "diversity" is actually diverse in including a Chinese woman. Normally, it's just blacks, blacks and more blacks.
I guess it's their play for the Chinese market.
Can't be. There's a black woman front and center.
they put yeoh in everything as their token chinese. she was in a star trek show, too. all the hollywood idiots recognize her because she was in crouching tiger hidden dragon like 20 years ago.
I hate seeing her in things because it's an obvious chinese pander and very immersion breaking since she still has the accent and everything. she's also quite frankly an old lady and not good looking. if you're going to pander at least make the chick hot.
How low can Michelle Yeoh fall? She was actually getting decent roles at some point.
This looks like a parody.

If you're giving Netflix money you're part of the problem.
Stop being part of the problem.
Never did (but actually considered when I first heard they make a Witcher adaptation, the offer was a free trial for like 3 months and might have continued to support the production, then the casting news dropped and I don't even get this free trial).
I head it's free with ads now, still fuck em.
When the DAY OF THE TROPE comes, "people" like xim will be the first to go
The costumes alone are criminal.
It's diverse and that means it's good
ah yes all those blacks and chinese that were so common in medieval poland
Also Sapkowski himself often commented on how little of his inspirations were anything Polish or generally Slavic. It's mostly Western and Northern European.
When he began writing about other things, he wrote about King Arthur (again) and about the medieval Czechia (The Hussite Trilogy). His themes are quite extremely non-Polish for a Polish author, because most Polish authors do write about Poland (and also most Polish authors are completely unknown elsewhere for this very reason as Poland is such a globally niche and unappealing subject) while he doesn't.
How many other Polish fantasy (sci fi, alternate history) authors did you as much as hear about? Yeah, none, and that's precisely because usually they really write about Poland, and so no one outside Poland cares about it. (Maybe you heard about Lem, who didn't.)
Sapkowski's books are globally successful because they're not Polish but just European, using Arthuriana, assorted various legends and continental history, and Tolkien's modern fantasy (and Moorecock).
It's not any "medieval Poland", it's another world altogether with people and creatures from different worlds and most have Germanic and/or Celtic names.
Ciri (Greek name) in the books repeatedly visits ours world (Earth) in various places and eras, and I don't think it's Poland even there (unless the German owned Prussia counts), instead she goes to France and so on. It ends with her in King Arthur's Camelot.
