If you’re the executive producer, it’s your fault that your team members fucked it up. If you cannot find a competent writer to properly express nuance on the screen, it’s still your fault. You hired the wrong person to adapt the books. You are the boss, the final say, the one-ass-to-kick when things go wrong.

The Witcher found success on TV as a YA show and that has forced them to simplify the plot, something one of the producers didn’t appreciate.
Is this the same person? This is just an executive producer, not the writer or show runner.
Pretty funny to call out someone for not reading something while simultaneously not reading the article to know who it is you’re even talking about.
