Part 4/12:
The backlash was palpable. The season four teaser trailer amassed over 1.6 million views, but also garnered approximately 102,000 dislikes against only 25,000 likes, indicating a highly negative reception. Comment sections flooded with criticisms, including remarks about how the showrunners had "killed" the franchise. Many fans lamented that the series had become a "girl power hour," focused more on Yennefer and Siri than on Geralt himself, with many asserting that Cavill's Geralt was relegated to a background character.
