The Witcher season 3’s big finale is a wasted opportunity

So long, Henry.

for what promised to be an exciting finale. Geralt was prepping for a huge showdown with the new big bad, Ciri was finally becoming independent, and Yenn had largely stopped making decisions that made absolutely no sense. Volume 2, which consists of only three episodes, squanders almost all of that potential.Image: Netflix

Now, to be fair, there is an epic showdown as promised. The first new episode features a massive war at Aretuza, the home base of the mages, where the kingdom of Redania and a group of the last surviving elves appear to fight against the magic users for various reasons: Redania’s spymaster wants to purge disloyal mages from their ranks, while the elves are fighting on behalf of the rival nation of Nilfgaard.

And thus, like Geralt, the season just kind of limps to a conclusion. There are a few small revelations that will impact the future, but it’s startling how much these episodes get away from the strengths of the show. It’s not funny, the action is sparse, there are very few monsters, and the core cast is given little to do. This is particularly shocking for Geralt; even as the show continued its downward spiral, Cavill’s turn as the witcher remained a highlight.
