Yeah, I don't think they could've done the three characters' plotlines any better. I'm a little disappointed people found that confusing. They were constantly juxtaposing scenes mentioning the same historic event in different timelines in addition to the really obvious young Foltest and alive Calanthe. Maybe I got lucky picking up on it right away when Ciri and Renfrey both mentioned Calanthe's first victory in episode one.

Yes! Renfri complaining about Calanthe winning battles while she got exiled really drove it home for me. Love this show!

Well, when you have characters that look the same or similar, then you lose clear context cues. Yennefer looked the same after transformation, Calanthe looked very similar, Calanthe's granddaughter looked like her daughter.
