I hate giving out bad reviews to TV shows or franchises that I've enjoyed watching in the past. It always perplexes me on how they can take something good and successful and ruin it. I hate to see good franchises flop, in the end we the viewers suffer. I have nothing against a lead female character. Some of my favorite TV shows and movies have lead female characters. Unfortunately, when it comes to certain genres and franchises that changes. This felt forced, I don't like any of the characters so far, male or female. The action sequences are from the 1980s, the acting is not very good. I see very little hope now for The Witcher franchise.
