    Stellar characters, great performances, killer action, and — once again — some of the best costuming work on television can go a long way in covering up structural flaws. This year, I was promised a badass fantasy show, and I got one. It just wasn’t the one I expecting.

    The result is a short series that feels just as long as it should be, obviously meant to help tide fans of Geralt & Co. over to the start of The Witcher Season 3. But Blood Origin does not stand very well on its own or as part of the expanding franchise, managing to focus on some of the least interesting aspects of one of The Witcher’s most fascinating pieces of lore.

    Jesus wept...god awful. Just why? Terrible writing doesn't even touch it. With Cavill gone cancel all Witcher projects, **** hell.

    This is worse than getting coal for Christmas. Save yourself a migraine and go read the books.

    Why? just make your own IP if you dont give a damn. Not to mention how poorly this is shot and cut together. CGI is also quite bad but thatWhy? just make your own IP if you dont give a damn.
