This Political Fantasy Video Game Needs To Be Adapted for TV
The Big Picture Although The Witcher Season 3 proved to be the Netflix series' best season to date in terms of effective, coherent, and impactful storytelling, one element continued to plague the grizzled fantasy epic: its emphasis on politics.
Humanity in The Witcher also declared war against the Continent’s elves and became the dominant species by force. The ramifications of these wars and humanity’s continued subjugation of the Elder Races make up much of The Witcher’s political climate. The Netflix series tries to divide its attention between the politicking of human magic users, the rampaging Nilfgaardian kingdom, and the vengeful Scoia'tael elves, but there aren’t enough episodes to go around.
The Chantry's divisions include a spy group and the Templar Order, the Chantry's personal militia. The Templars defend Thedas against rogue magic threats with typical religious zealotry. They believe magic and magic-users must be strictly regulated, which means the Templars subdue any "apostate" mages who disagree with the Chantry's chokehold.
