Contrary to popular belief, you cannot slap the "Witcher" name on any piece of garbage and expect it to sell.

Maybe this dumpster fire will finally teach writers to actually respect the source material instead of filling with a woke agenda.

Managed 14 minutes of 1st episode and had to turn off. Absolutely terrible.
Horrible acting and even worse writing.
Cast clearly picked simply to tick Woke boxes and not for what is best for the story and lore.

There is no real attempt to capture the spirit of the Witcher world and when they do tie this prequel into the main show it often feels so forced that it's like the only reason they included those connections was to deflect criticism away from using the name to prop up whatever this "prequel" is.… Expand

I didn’t like the Witcher, but thought I’d give this a try because I used to be a fantasy fan. It appears the “entertainment” industry has forgotten how to do fantasy… and sci-fi, and drama and comedy and pretty much every other genre. Well, it seems they keep putting out so called reality shows, but I don’t watch those. Speaking of reality shows, I didn’t like GoT. GoT was just high school with dragons. A reality show filled with social drama, sex, and violence. His Dark Materials was lame. Wheel of Time was horrid. Rings of Poop was an abomination. Willow was trash. The only watchable fantasy show in recent years was The Outpost. But back to Blood Origin. This show is just boring. The dialogue was flat, the acting was uninspired and the story was dreary. Whoever keeps approving and producing these shows need to be replaced. The writing across “entertainment” for the past decade has been atrocious and fantasy shows are some of the worst. Well maybe I just notice it more because Fantasy used to be my favorite genre. Lately my favorite has been re-watching shows from the 90-00's because nothing coming out these days is worth my time.… Expand

This looks and feels nothing like the Witcher. I don't see any connection to the Witcher or Polish mythology or any of the influences in Andrzej Sapkowski's work. This is a poorly written farcical fantasy story with the Witcher franchise logoThis looks and feels nothing like the Witcher. I don't see any connection to the Witcher or Polish mythology or any of the influences in Andrzej Sapkowski's work. This is a poorly written farcical fantasy story with the Witcher franchise logo slapped on top of it.

The writing in this show is catastrophically bad, and there is no logic to the story or the character's motivations. Honestly, some of the actors in this miniseries were wasted on such a garbage script.

The world building of various factions and ethic groups is not realistic for the time period the story is reflecting, nor does it follow the source material. The setting is just not believable as a result, as I have no idea how a bunch of medieval cultures achieved such mass migration so early on like modern times. And no, I don't care if it's fantasy - your world needs to make sense. The further you go back into time periods of low technology where things like travel and wealth are big challenges to migration, your world needs to reflect this with mostly homogeneous societies. If you want to make a diverse population, tell a story in modern day New York, or tell a space story in the far future.

The show is also filled with "strong female characters" putting men to shame, which is a troupe that is just so overused in Hollywood these days. It's so boring. uninteresting and repetitive. I can't even remember a strong feminine heroine in a recent Hollywood movie that retains any of her femineity. As a woman, I am so tired by this.

I have no idea why any Witcher fan or a fan of fantasy would watch this. The show is generally horrible, from the modern identity political messages, the lack of respect for the source material, the childish and immature writing, the lack of cohesion and rationality with respect to the world building, the logic of the world and the characters, and it really does not fit in with the Witcher franchise because of all the violations of lore and other things. In short, this is bad fan fiction. It is a cash grab by Netflix. Without the Witcher logo and some notable actors, you would not have watched this. It's not worth your time.… Expand

This has nothing to do with The Witcher. It’s just a horribly cringe generic fantasy, produced for an “ultra liberal audience”, to reflect “the modern world in witch we live today”, and lecture the public on “progressive ideas”. Seriously, I’ve watched fantasy B movies way better than this flaming pile of foul dejections. There is no redemption for this show. Blood Origins is a preachy cluster of woke tropes with strong Neo-Marxist undertones. This is not Sapkowski’s Witcher, instead you get almost the entire “progressive agenda”, masquerading as a fantasy series. The writing is beyond atrocious, it’s lazy and uninspired, self centered and illogical, a total creative bust. The story is terrible, full of cliches, plot holes and sluggish conveniences. The characters are unimaginative stereotypes, wooden cutouts without any real development, placeholders to spread “the message”. The acting, for the most part, is either subpar or right down awful. The costumes and sets are amateurish at best. The CGI and VFx are dreadful. The soundtrack is insipid, and the songs belched by the cast are cringe and annoying. In conclusion, Blood Origin is one of the worst, if not the worst, mainstream fantasy TV series I have watched…so far. DO NOT waste your time with this inept dumpster… Expand

I am currently reading the novels again. Not everything in the novels, not all novels, is very good, but it is clear and evident how deep and complex the Witcher universe is. So, how does Blood Origin fit into it? So far, it doesn't. Blood Origin could be anything, even a Willow prequel, sequel, whatever generic show or film came out in the past few years. The writers clearly do not know how to write unique fantasy storyline. And they tried their BS on an established fantasy lore and universe? How did that happen unchecked internally? And who is the primary showrunner? A nobody with little experience (de Barra). I doubt that the actual The Witcher series will recover from this, after the recent public backlash and writing mess. So, maybe 3 The Witcher seasons is all there ever will be and Blood Origin put the final nail in the coffin of Netflix's The Witcher. It happens. Shame though. 4/10 still for the effort, the cinematics, even though it could be any universe (with pointy ears people), and that it made me laugh (for all the bad reasons).… Expand

(I've played every Game and read every book) Right now, there are a lot of things about the Witcher Netflix adaption (mostly season 2) that I can't understand. The show is based on a book, but they don't follow the book. The Witcher Blood Origin isn't based on a book. The Conjunction of the Spheres is not even described in the book. The show is a fan fiction with lazy writing, mostly bad characters and sometimes ugly CGI. But there are also some gorgeous nature shots, and the whole world collapsing story line makes sense. The show is not that bad, but it's also not good. It's a forgettable the Witcher and a mediocre fantasy show. I've enjoyed a few episodes, and I'm glad that I've seen it. The landscape was beautiful and the costumes well done. But please don't watch the show for the plot, like I said before, don't expect anything, it's more like a fan fiction.… Expand

The conjunction of spheres was not caused by two elves fighting over a rock. For this show, and for the Netflix lore, that is the case. If you are a fan of the Netflix show and the show only, it explains what the monoliths are and what they are a big deal. So in that sense its kind of watchable.… Expand

And although I am a huge JRR Tolkien fan, I'd take this series over the new Lord of the Rings, any day!… Expand

A great series. It complements the main series very well. It's a shame it's so short tho

I just finished all four episodes, and I have to say, I loved it. I don’t understand some of the closed-minded, negative reviews for this show, but quite frankly, who cares? Art is subjective. Did I mention how much I liked it? There was action, romance, love, revenge, heartbreak, excitement, sadness, elves, monsters, and badass women! It was creative, imaginative, well-written and well-acted. The cinematography was beautiful and the fight scenes were nicely choreographed. Great show by Netflix. Can’t wait to see the upcoming season.… Expand

This is a fantastic mini-series. The characters are engaging and fun. The scenery is amazing and the costumes are brilliant. The negative reviews are unwarranted and you have to question the reasons behind them.

Enough with the review bombing from people who are angry this show has a diverse ensemble cast, or fans who have beef with the main Witcher show. Please just let normal people write real reviews and let other people decide for themselves if they want to watch! This is four hours of good fantasy fun. The visuals effects and sets are high quality, the acting is good with a real standout performance from Francesca Mills as Meldorf. I didn't expect to tear up but I did twice. I am not familiar with the Witcher other than watching the other show, so I think not carrying that baggage is helpful. While the script and storyline aren't going to win any awards, they aren't bad I don't think the goal was to win awards. This is just food for fantasy fans: funny, fun, good fighting, good pacing/action alongside poignant moments, and relatable characters. It explained the "conjunction of spheres" to someone (like me) who doesn't get it but heard it talked about in the main show. It also had some cool original songs woven in that were sung by a bard, to which I give two thumbs up. I would love to see more Meldorf if they do another miniseries in this same time period or earlier.… Expand

It has nothing to do with withcer (except some names), true, but that is exactly the show advantage. When it had something to do with witcher (see season 1 and season 2), they utterly destroyed it. Here, they could not defile the source material as there is practically none. They wrote their own story, it is a bit cringe and stupid, but really, I've see a lot worse. The visuals are quite good, music is also ok, even the dialogues, could be worse :)

For sure it deserves a higher score than The Witcher season 2 and Rings of Power. The level of absolutely stupid things was limited here in comparison.… Expand

Very woke and very modern - in the first 7 minutes of the show a female maims and kills a whole tavern of men. If you enjoy this sort of thing, coupled with subpar acting and poor writing, perhaps this show is for you. For me it has no relevance to the universe of Geralt, and in no way hearkens back to the source material. Not worth my time..… Expand

I understand that many hardcore lore people dont like it, but as an separated additional content it is no bad production. It even is very entertaining.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never look at anyone's grades. I even liked the movie. I am not one of those who look for a hole in everything, although I know books well. It's for fun, not comparison. A very touching ending.… Expand

This show really was embarrassing. It is clear the writers don't care about the material and don't care about entertainment. Everyone involved should be ashamed.

If you thought willow was a mess, wait til you get around to this, , a pointless dreary slog of identity politics being ham fistedly inserted to a fantasy genre, not a good idea
