Every Episode Of The Witcher Ranked Worst To Best

8. Four Marks

You know that a show must be good if its worst episode is as fun as this. The second chapter of the show certainly doesn't pack as much of a punch as the first, but there are a few positive elements to be discussed before examining why it falls to the lowest point.

This outing introduces us to two of the best characters in the show, those being Yennefer and Jaskier. They are both given great introductions and plenty of development in the runtime, with Yen, instantly being shown as an essential figure, and Jaskier debuting his ever-popular "Toss a Coin to your Witcher."

However, these characters only improve the episode so much, as the rest is a bland and surprisingly uneventful series of events. All of Yen's training is pushed into one episode, and that is bred of necessity but feels rushed. In addition to this, the concept of Elven prejudice is brought in but also pushed through too quickly.

Ultimately, Geralt and Jaskier's encounter with Filivandrel, the king of the Elves is uninspired and very dull, while Yen's exciting story gets rushed, and Ciri's encounter with a refugee camp is pretty mundane. The episode introduces great ideas, but does very little with them.
