Only a small objection. Obviously, both white and non-white Americans can represent America, but not every one of America's many different cultures.
For example, neither a black nor a white person can credibly represent Native American culture.

Oh, sure, Netlfix can do good stuff, I consider season 1 of House of Cards and first 4 or 5 episodes of Stranger Things to be some of the best that TV has to offer in last 20 or so years.
It's just I'm kinda not expecting much anymore, given how it's going so far.

As for GoT level - I really doubt it, I think source material for that is of much better quality than that of Witcher. But it could be really, really good if they're smart.

The GoT show stopped following the books after a few seasons though, and the quality took a nosedive. 

If they follow the Witcher books, it wouldn't be hard to be better than the last few seasons of GoT. 

I think GoT has more things happening all over its world, with lot more characters and events important for the story.

I didn't read The Witcher, so I admit that I can't compare to that. 

But the show after the 2 first seasons (which were awesome) compared to the books is a really dumbed down version, with a lot of incoherent stuff, forgotten stuff, and turn from a political struggle to a Hollywood blockbuster focused on sex and deaths for the sake of buzz only. The last seasons have nothing to do with the first ones.

The Witcher can easily do better than that if they try.

Well, at least she'd be able to handle the heavy criticism she would face. She has already proven she can handle heavy criticism, as she got hate from all sides over that Ghostbusters portrayal. She got hate from the fans who were unhappy with the movie in general, she got hate from the right for the all-female cast, and she got hate from the left for portraying a stereotypical loud black woman character. But in spite of all the criticism she kept her chin up, I can respect her for that much even though the movie was terrible. 

If they really do cast a BAME 15/16 year old Ciri I feel bad for whoever they cast, she'll probably have to abandon every type of social media because there are certain people who will stupidly send her hate instead of directing their hate in the right direction, at the producer and Netflix. We've seen it before, with Kelly Marie Tran for instance, Star Wars fans unhappy with her character in episode 8 directed their hate at her instead of directing that hate in the direction it belonged, at the writers, producers, and director. Kelly acted to the best of her ability, it wasn't her fault that the character was absolutely terrible.

Ghostbusters 2016 was a shitshow, no doubt about that. There is alot of blame to go around for why it ended up so poor, the blame falls partly on everyone involved. If you look at the ingredients separately it feels like the movie had potential, you had a director who had done good work in the past, you had a producer who produced the original movies, you had multiple lead actors who had a comedy background and were well liked by many people. So, on the surface at least, it felt like the movie could have been good. The end result though was a terrible mess that felt more like a bad parody of the original Ghostbusters movies than a homage to them. I will say that I didn't take part in the hate campaign against anyone involved with the movie, it was a terrible movie but I felt no need to hate on those involved. I watched it, hated it, and moved on with my life, regretting the fact that Bill Murray held up Ghostbusters 3 so long that Harold Ramis died before it could be made.

In the case of Ciri I do think race matters, since she is an established character who is described as being "pale" and having "ashen white skin" in the books, not to mention being portrayed as white in the games. I understand them wanting to get some racial diversity into the shows cast, since basically every main character in the Witcher is white, but i just think there are better ways to go about doing that than changing the established races of main characters. They could just as easily create some new characters who match lore friendly dark skinned races in order to get better racial representation on the cast.

All that being said though, if they do cast a BAME Ciri, I won't be joining those who will inevitably send her hate, because that would be wrong, she wasn't the one who chose to change the race of the character, she just auditioned for a role, actors have got to eat too, lol. My hate will be directed squarely in the direction it belongs, at the producer, as she will have literally lied if she changes the race of Ciri, because she specifically said that she wouldn't change the races of characters.
