    I very much enjoy watching interviews with Anja Chalotra. She comes across as very humble, and seems willing to give other people credit for good things. This is a rare capacity, I think, among human beings: an accomplished person who seems happy when others do well and get the attention.

      Agreed. There's this certain aura about her that makes me instantly respect her. I get the gut feeling that she seems to have a more introverted personality, which makes her more relatable for me.

    it's a pleasant surprise to hear Lauren openly admit to engaging with and reading fan theories but I also worry for her. Sadly lawsuits happen. from fans accusing writers of stealing their work or otherwise, to the point of it being explicitly demanded in their contracts that they avoid engaging with any written material about their show. Witcher fans are amazing, though, and I hope none of them stoop to that level. And I'm happy with whatever Lauren made into her own story and that she gets to engage with fans about any of it.

      @@markelele2800 cool dude, call us when you finally produce your series version of the witcher. Since you’re so smart you probably know how easy it is to cater to everyone when making an eight episode series. Especially when it comes to a full-fledged fantasy show. I love how people like you always think they are so smart when you have no idea how many people work on projects, how many ideas and how many aspects people need to think about when making a global show.

    For someone who read the books and played computer games this show will be one big DISASTER.

    One thing that you actually need to know about the 2nd season... ist disappointing for ones that didn't read the books, cringe for those who played the games, and utter garbage who did read the books and play the games

      BoE doesn’t have much action to begin with. The majority of it is setup and training. Let the adults enjoy their show
