This friend feels like they are deviating too much from the source material and is all about Cavils willingness to quit the show over too much deviation (so he says).
Too the bolded point.....I think it's on par for Netflix. Look at how Designated Survivor was ruined once Netflix took it over. You can look at other shows too. And while I don't think Netflix attempts to force political agendas on anyone, they do seem to try to cater to the loudest crowds.
Right when the Show runners direction leads to Super Witcher Nerd Cavill quiting instead of being part of the show... Means you need a new showrunner imo..
When there is strong source material responsible for the large Fan base... you dont need deviate much at all unless pushing personal agendas and the Showrunner has one
