They did try to fix the Yennefer/Ciri relationship in S3.

But it suffers from the same problem with the other seasons where the writers are too busy trying to be clever to just tell the story. Like they show a party where a bunch of random shit happens then they later show a bunch of flashbacks to explain what the hell happened. You can imagine them all congratulating themselves in the writer's room on how brilliant they are to come with telling it that way.

They introduced a new character who's either a bad actress or poorly directed. Or both. There's one scene where she's holding a dead pheasant and I'm not sure if she was posing or waiting for the director to say "cut". Either way it's awkward and cringey as hell.
