Again the smaller picture.  Nothing about how TW1 installs the overarching story in which Of Rivia is going to evolve across the two episodes of the series. 

In your opinion.  In my opinion the political backdrop is the smaller picture and the story of Geralt and the characters close to him/the wild hunt is the overarching/main story, despite how it's presented in TW2.  The political stuff, after-all, is hardly original.
