As you prepare to watch "The Witcher" Season 3, Volume 2, you are probably filled with anticipation. Famously, this is the last appearance of Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, the continental monster hunter. He will be replaced by Liam Hemsworth (The Hunger Games).

But if you go to see the film expecting a grand send-off for Cavill's Geralt, you'll probably feel like you've had the rug pulled out from under you by Netflix--just like those who thought the June release would be a full season. I still remember how much I used to love "The Witcher". And now I can't stop shaking my head.

When I watched "The Witcher" Season 3, Volume 2 early on, I was utterly astounded by its content. Sure, the fabled foursome of Geralt, Yen (Anya Charotra), Sheli (Freya Allan), and Jascuir (Joey Beatty) are coming in rapid fire, but these episodes are either too long away from them or focus on B-grade Game of Thrones stuff that muddies the first half or focusing on them.

Oh, and don't worry about spoilers; I wouldn't dare ruin them for this latest season of one of Netflix's best shows.

For me, the peak of The Witcher Season 3 Volume 2 is the first episode, where a betrayal at the conclave leads to fights, threats, and all kinds of chaos. For those who have seen the first volume, it is revealed that the sorcerer Vilgeforz (Mahesh Jadoo) is a servant of Nilfgaard, the sorcerer who is trying to capture Siri.

The problem, however, is that Gerard and Yen only find out when they are surrounded by enemies in the conclave.

But the problem is that Gerard and Yen do not realize this until they are surrounded by enemies in the conclave.

As the action picks up, Cavil begins to act out the hack-and-slash fun we've become accustomed to. He also says, on behalf of some in the audience, "I don't give a shit about brother politics." At that moment, I felt I was being watched. Spells are cast and shot from mage to mage.

Charotra's finest moment as Yenefer comes with her mentor, Tisaiah (Mianna Berling), who brings the human element. This is especially true in the moments shared by Siri and Yen, as "The Witcher" reminds us that these central characters are a family of sorts. At its best, "The Witcher" has been about sacrifice.

Unfortunately, the screenwriters are more concerned with politics and the elven civil war than with Geralt. Even at its climax, "The Witcher" throws a lot at the screen, but the tertiary characters are not well-developed and therefore do not resonate. Part of this may be due to the lack of a "previous synopsis" at the beginning of the episode.

The bigger problem, however, is that the last three episodes give no sense of closure or anything to Gerard, played by Cavill. For all that he is ending his run, the series spends a lot of time away from him. I have no complaints about spending so much time with Siri in episode 7, but I do have complaints about the lack of any sense of closure to Geralt's storyline.

I've heard from Witcher fans that this is because Siri is actually the main character throughout. As such, we see Geralt spend a great deal of time in gloomy recovery (which Cavil does quite well), and I am curious to see how that goes.

In fact, it was a bit of a shock when I checked my watch and saw that there were only six minutes left in the finale. It wasn't a "Sopranos"-grade shock, but it was abrupt. Where's the rest of the story?

It almost seems cruel to wait a whole month for that. But looking ahead to the future, the thought of a Witcher without Cavil seems worrisome. Fortunately, Freya Allan is great as Siri and someone who can solidify the surroundings.

Unfortunately, given how negative my review of "The Witcher" was and how I didn't feel much emotional attachment to the secondary characters, I have to admit that I'm quite worried about "The Witcher" season 4: it's Cavil who has carried this series. I felt that it was Cavill who has carried this series, and it would be truly frightening to see him leave without Cavill, and so easily.
