Season 1 Review:
When the worst thing you can say about a series is that every episode ends up being better than the one that preceded it, that leaves an exciting amount of room to grow. Especially when you can see it steadily moving out of the shadow of the show Netflix might have wanted, in favor of the far more interesting series it might actually turn out to be.

Season 1 Review:
For all its massive scale, The Witcher is a surprisingly small story centered around three appealing main characters. It’s a classic fantasy tale about war and magic and prophecy, with grotesque monsters, supernatural detective work, and political intrigue thrown into the mix. It’s all a bit silly, but no more so than Game of Thrones ever was.

Season 1 Review:
There are attempts at knowingness: at one point, our Henry tells someone a prophecy has to rhyme. This is not a good idea, as it throws into too sharp relief the limits to what Geralt and his merry band of sorceresses and proto-feminist princesses can be said to know. Play it straight, dear scriptwriters, or don’t play it at all. ... But again, if you like this sort of thing, go nuts.

Season 1 Review:
If you don’t take any of this more seriously than a holiday diversion, it has undeniable moments, and a fearless performance from its leading lady. But it’s safe to say that the throne of fantasy adulation on which HBO sits, even after the divisive final season, remains unchallenged.

Cavill caries the show, along with cool fight scenes and monsters. Most of the rest is sadly lacking. Same problem GoT had- showrunners dumbing down and oversimplifying the story. It's like they need it to be black and white because grey is too hard.

Nothing left from Sapkovsky's famous sense of humour. Stories are spoiled because of stupid screenwriters. And who is that old lady that ate Triss and took her role?
Geralt is dope tho.
Geralt is dope tho.
