This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great start to the show. By the first 10 minutes we can see how passionate Cavil is for the role. The complexicity of renly and geralt is well done especially that fight scene between the two. The details from Geralt only doing defensive moves against her and ferocious renly is superb. Freya does amazing as Ciri and the final minutes of nilfilheim destroying cintra gives us a pretty good look at how bloody and violent this show will be… Expand
