There has been a big "pile on" to Blood Origins.
My none detailed experience:-
First found "the Witcher" via the games which I liked,
Watched the Netflix shows-- fantastic,
Tried and failed to like the books, (sorry)
I can not think of anything good to say about Blood Origins. I managed most of the first episode. The first annoying thing I thought was, the accents, then the dialogue which was forced. When both characters are in a small village and no one notices their movements (like escaping from prison).
