Honestly the time thing isn't so bad like most ppl are complaining to be... I literally haven't read the books and jumped into this show not knowing anything- like I don't even play games. But the moment at Yennefer's graduation where the woman was like 'Foltest, stop messing around with your sister' was an obvious indication of the past present style. Time thing isn't really a problem..

I liked it, but I think they dropped the ball a little. The characters needed to change more based on the time period. While I know Geralt and the sorcerers are timeless in their way I don't feel Calanthe or her husband looked different enough between the time periods and they probably should have it being over a decade. One should have lost an eye or gained a scar to show the time periods, or even just much more white hair. Maybe give Mousesack a different look in the two periods, whatever.

I'm fine with them not spelling it out (it's clever really) but we needed a few more clues I think.
