The name Andrzej Sapkowski may not be familiar to more than one gamer; however, you should know that he is a world-renowned writer. He is nothing more and nothing less than the creator of the Geralt of Rivia Saga or the Witcher Saga, which gave rise to The Witcher.

The creative's work is now better known than ever in part thanks to the Netflix live-action series, which was a resounding success at least in its first few seasons. Sapkowski recently revealed his opinion on said production and did so with a critique of the company.

Andrzej Sapkowski criticizes The Witcher series

One of the constant criticisms of the Netflix series is that it does not stick to the source material, i.e. Sapkowski's novels. This has upset longtime fans of the saga who got to know Geralt of Rivia and company through literature.

It seems that Sapkowski is also not very happy with this stance of Netflix to distance itself from his work and consider his suggestions, as he criticized the company for never listening to him. Mind you, the writer accepted that the sets of the series have been great and that he is completely satisfied in that sense.

However, he believes that Netflix should pay more attention to his comments and suggestions, since after all he is the creator of the saga.

“Oh well, the set was tremendous, tremendous, awesome. But no, maybe I gave them some ideas, but they never listened to me. They never listen to me. But it's normal, it's normal. 'Who's this? It's the writer, it's nobody,’” Sapkowski complained.

It is likely that the vast majority of fans of the books and games in the saga would agree with the writer's stance. However, we know that Netflix has taken certain liberties and will continue to take them for the following seasons of the series.
