Yeah, I was skeptical because her skin tone made me suspicious that she'd just be a case of Netflix hiring the first passably non-white actress they got their hands on, but her performance was one of the best in the show, really only topped by Cavill.

Well to be fair, while Yennifer in the game is white, in the region (Poland), the actress could definitely pass as a gipsy and they were already there in Bohemia in medial Europe, and many were considered "witches". Obviously the black actors were a bit harder to swallow. Even if there were moorish people there too, they did look more like Arabs than negroes.

But that isn't really the issue so much as the team in charge of the writing who despise or actively mock the source material. It should never happen.
