"[I] tried to explain: There was an uprising against Germany, but the Russians were across the river, and on the German side there were also soldiers from Hungary or Ukraine," he said. "For Americans, it was completely incomprehensible, too complicated, because they grew up in a different historical context, where everything was arranged: America is always good, the rest are the bad guys. And there are no complications

I'm American and I was confused. Too many characters with bizarre names with no rhyme or reason to keep track of. Also like, I do not remember what happened last season either. I played 2 of the Witcher games and it was pretty much the same in those. I don't care about all the political bullshit anyway it's the worst part of the show. There were, what? Two monsters this season? In the show about the guy who kills monsters? Bad call. I know they're trying to adapt the books but it makes me really uninterested in the books. If I were making a Witcher show from scratch I would just make a monster of the week show.

Funny, for me the political stuff and the back stabbing is the main point of the show.

The games are set after the events of the books, so it's kinda like Geralt just resumes his day job, but there's clues and references to all the major events that happened spread throughout.

It's not really a story about a guy who kills monsters, any more than Super Mario is a story about a plumber.

Much like Mario, he just gets caught up in a conflict between kingdoms and find himself in the midst of various political plots and webs of intrigue. But when all that is over, he just goes back to his day job.
