Maybe if you've read the books (or have someone sitting next to you who
has read the books keeping you up to speed). Otherwise it's a hot mess of jumbled, unintelligible timelines and a merry-do-round of confusing characters that leaves one wondering WTH they just witnessed (and why people are raving about it).
Don't get me wrong. I wanted to like the show, and I get what what they were trying to pull off RE the timeline-complexity, but not having any forehand knowledge of the books, the games, or the Witcher universe in general, the wheels still just completely fell off the bus for me.
It's great that pre-existing Witcher fans have something new to love, but great adaptations don't rely so heavily on viewers having already read the books (or played the games) just to keep up.
Sorry for the slight derail... carry on.
