Did anyone else feel Freya Allen's pain when Henry Cavill left The Witcher?

No disrespect to Liam Hemsworth, but Henry Cavill will always be Geralt for me. I actually believe that his leaving was a bad idea. I understand he cherished the idea of becoming Superman again, but then, if nothing was concrete yet, he shouldn't have rushed to leave the show. He is no longer Superman, and now he isn't Geralt; it's truly a double tragedy.

Couldn't stress the double tragedy more. I'm not sure if I can watch the latest season because I just want to remember the show how it was, I don't have any interest in watching The Witcher if Henry Cavill isn't in it really

The writing is good, and the acting, serviceable. However, changing the lead actor mid-show rarely works, and now The Witcher looks as if he underwent plastic surgery and came back angrier and less effective with the swing.

I'm not sure I can think of an example where it has worked. And unfortunately the last season of The Witcher in my opinion was already pretty weak, so there wasn't much hope for this season being better (at least on my end ha)

Allen's character is now the key to resolving the show. If they focus on Ciri's chemistry wuth Yennefer and let her unleash her powers, not necessarily having to rely on Geralt, then we could have a perfect final season with minimal screen time for Hemsworth. Just an opinion
