I finished season 1 and really liked the show. I started reading the books once I saw this was in development. I'm on the second one now. So the show spoiled some things for me though it clearly made some changes and upped the pacing from what was in the short stories. Though I loved some quips that were taken directly from the books such as 'money opens all doors'.

I also played Witcher 3 a while back and the fight scenes in this show sometimes look directly lifted from the video game. Even the music is there!

Cavil's grizzly voice was unnerving at first but I got used to it. I also was a little caught off guard with the time skips since they didn't have a dramatic pause or music change once it was revealed to be a time difference (compared to Westworld which did it better). However it made total sense to tell the story this way to appropriately set up the three main characters.
