Season 2 ("Book 1" in the US), I agree made some TERRIBLE changes, especially around Yennifer's relationship with Ciri.

Having just finished Season 3, however, I feel like they mostly pulled back into following the book's major plotlines. Sure, a TV show makes some concessions on content, but overall I felt it followed the books "okay". Everything that happened in Thanedd was close, and everything after that too, in the final 3 episodes. Rience was the strangest change to me, since that doesn't happen for several books and it's Ciri's doing.

Does the general public agree? Or are we still so mad about Season 2 that we refuse to see Season 3 positively?

Remember, Game of Thrones did well, and that's not a simplified show during its peak.

Right... It's the audience's fault and not the show runners who outright refused to follow the books and games leading to the star of the show leaving. 🙄
