Voleth Meir (S02E07)

Awfully boring episode. The political entanglement is clumsily written, mediocrely acted and maddeningly drawn out, with no dramatic arc. Only the banquet scene is worth it, the rest disappears from memory immediately during the closing credits, if not before. (15.01.2022)

Finally, the buddy duo (Geralt and Marigold) is on screen, and Joey Bates was truly born for the role of the bard. The storyline with the Elves also got nicely tangled. The final episode promises to be quite a spectacle. I hope the series wraps up on a good note. For me, episode seven gets a 7.5/10. (22.12.2021)

The seventh episode was a bit of a mixed bag - partly amusing (though probably unintentionally) and partly just downright illogical. I couldn't help but wonder, what's the politically correct term for a black elf? Afroelf? Seems unlikely, especially since it feels like the show's creators conveniently left Africa out of the equation. At least, I hope that's the case... Imagine being a different race and also a minority within your own race. That's a minority within a minority. I have this sneaking suspicion that Netflix won't pass up the chance to introduce a character who's a black, gay elf. Killing three birds with one stone, right? (31.01.2022)
