“[I] tried to explain: There was an uprising against Germany, but the Russians were across the river, and on the German side there were also soldiers from Hungary or Ukraine,” he said. "For Americans, it was completely incomprehensible, too complicated, because they grew up in a different historical context, where everything was arranged: America is always good, the rest are the bad guys.

    What? You didn’t find it realistic that Ciri always looked like she was in the middle of a photo shoot? And actually, I often found the costumes too good in that regard. Kept waiting for them to look at the camera, “Balenciago.” data-laughing

      Now that you mention it, I guess I kinda warmed up to the costumes. I found them a bit irritating from the first season, mostly having issues with the cloth fibres (which looked too synthetically shiny to my eyes, clearly giving off that modern (cheap) fabric sorta vibe) - but in general, there was just too little dirt, too few signs of use on what people were wearing. All battle armor polished to a mirror finish. And by the third season I kinda got over that, I figure, because that’s all still true lol
