A worthy legacy for his turn as the White Wolf, but viewers will likely wish we’d gotten to spend more time with him before the end. Read full review

Sometimes it’s nice to just let a show cook, and The Witcher continues to make weird meals with its oodles of diabolical double crosses and inevitable “there’s a spell for that” moments that bang the story off in another new direction. (Seriously, there are portals everywhere.) There’s a bit of uncertainty creeping in, given the backstage drama of Cavill’s departure. But everybody else in this series is fully invested and really, really good. Read full review

If nothing else, this season, which has placed so much emphasis on the loving relationships between its core three characters, has distilled what made Cavill so wonderful for the role. Read full review

The finale, meanwhile, has some beautiful moments here and there. Once again, plenty of our cast shine, with some threads being wonderfully tied together. Cavill's final scenes are, unfortunately, somewhat inconsequential, and while the very final moments of the season set up season 4, we have to wonder how much viewers really care. Read full review

Three seasons into The Witcher, we're almost exactly back where we started, except this time, Geralt's finally running toward his destiny instead of away from it. It might be a revelation for Geralt, but it's unfortunately nothing new for the audience. Read full review

'The Witcher' doesn't dwell on Henry Cavill's exit, and while it shouldn't have to, the final three episodes of the latest season still don't do enough to create genuine excitement for the Liam Hemsworth era. Read full review

Season 3 amounts to disappointment. As it subtly acknowledges the parting of star Henry Cavill while simultaneously attempting to hype its audience for the two Cavill-less seasons yet to come, The Witcher’s confused – and confusing – direction has never been more apparent. Read full review

Very messy. A lot is supposedly happening, but all the subplots lead to a very underwhelming conclusion. Henry Cavill's send-off was anti-climatic.

Better than season 1, and enjoyably paced, I see an unfortunate number of bad reviews by people claiming black people and people of color broke their immersion in a show that happens in a different universe with magic and monsters... Why would this universe speak in English, let alone

I was too dumb to understand plot, please dumb it down more. +1 point because of Henry Cavill still beeing Geralt.

I heard that the series finally has reached the level of "Blood Origin"? Is it true?

Shockingly bad, also the producers decide to blame the audience. How you can mess up something as amazing as the Witcher is beyond me.

Henry Cavill not wanting to have anything to do with this show tells you everything you need to know.
