Somewhere in the middle, tbh. I'm confounded by their decisions. I really liked S1 and wish they would have stayed on that path. I don't like how in S2 & 3 characters just suddenly appeared where the plot needed them without explanation. Toussaint is something I'd have cut. Having them there ..
No, I want a breakfast in Beauclair with the black and the speckled hen 😅 Maybe they'll use Toussaint to have Geralt fight the one or other monster as it's the only place where he does so ever since leaving Brokilon? Unless you count Vilgefortz as a monster. I guess they'll ride there this time.
...this late in S5 means they take way too long to get there, or they stay there way too long (kinda book accurate but not wat I want)
I also thought that's pretty late. Unless they cut the pogrom in Rivia and end the show with the fight at Stygga. Then it might work.
