The creators of Netflix's "The Witcher" series present a work of poor script and visual quality and inconsistent with the source material. We, fans of The Witcher, can send Netflix a clear message in only one way: by not watching the next season of the series. 

This petition is not directed to Netflix, HBO, or any other entertainment company. It is directed to fans, because only WE can change the current situation. There are indications that some of today's pop culture is being made not only for propaganda purposes, but to sell it through strong negative emotions. Fans who disagree with the treatment of the original work as a basis for the names used in the completely changed series are watching it later as part of "hate-watching," and their ratings are called "rewiev-bombing." These actions do two things: first, they anger fans and divide the fandom by pitting two different worldviews of fans against each other, who then engage in an online war. Second, they screw up the viewership itself. Even if you have watched a series so that you can criticize it, you have given the creators a tool to brag about their viewing figures. 

Ms. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has produced and shown two seasons of the series "The Witcher." In both, there are gigantic discrepancies with the source material and, consequently, disrespect towards the creator and fans. 

In the process, it was revealed that the series' creators laughed at the source material:

The only actor who presented a good acting, Henry Cavill, left the series:

And fans have calculated that the second season of the series is only 3% in line with the books: 

 All 8 episodes of Netflix The Witcher Season 2 edited to only include parts that were in the book. Less than 3% of runtime remained. : witcher (reddit.com) 

 

 

We believe that there is much more potential in the world of "The Witcher" than Ms. Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and her team can bring out, as they proved in the previous two seasons of the production. We expect a product that is made with quality in terms of the script, visuals, and proper approach to the source material. 

The only way for the creators to understand our message is through viewing statistics. Therefore, I appeal to every fantasy fan, disappointed with both "The Witcher" and other series that have shown disrespect to our favorite books: DON'T WATCH THE THIRD SEASON OF THE WITCHER. 

And ofc: share this petition.
