It's just...
So ordinary.
shareWhen there is only eight episodes, he shouldn't be doing Monster of the Week. Instead of exposition about how years have passed, they should have skipped all that crap.
shareDid they really do Monster of the Week? The only one that I remember is the Striga episode, which was relatively unlinked. It built a history between Geralt and Triss. Triss isn't as important in this series as she is in the games/books. Maybe there will be more of her in the next season, assuming she didn't die.
Even the Golden Dragon episode was very linked to Geralt's character history and it developed the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer more.
I didn't have trouble following the timeline, but I can see how it might be confusing to people who are not paying attention, especially because the characters don't appear aged between timeline skips.
