This is not the Witcher, this is the Witcher fanfiction. The high budget is felt, but it was given in the wrong hands. The entire ENT and the Witcher world were raped.

It draws a lot from the books, though takes some liberties, which is to be expected.
Overall it's got a lot more positives than negatives.

Dear critics take a moment to eat crow.

Very passable rendition of The Witcher.
Critics should have played the games and read the books instead of comparing it to game of thrones.

Maybe theWith political messages kept at a tasteful level, and filled with drama, sex and violence, this is a much better example of a good liberal entertainment. You can't change minds with your films if people don't want to watch it. Maybe the people at Netflix are starting to get it (even if the circle-jerk regressive critics still don't).

If they spent a little more effort and screen time to dig into the story and a tad less on their political touch points, this can really benefit. The monster CGI fights also needed some better direction. Don't let the terri-bad first fight scene in Episode 1 put you off, it does get much better.

It starts off a bit slow, but it really picks up as we get further into the season. Dialogue is a bit wooden at certain points, but nothing to major. The world building is great and so is the spectacular action sequences. If you have a Netflix subscription and are not too averse to fantasy then this series is a must watch. This is a series where paying close attention is rewarding, being too distracted however for certain sections will leave you lost on the story. Expand

Excellent film adaptation of books, maybe they didn’t get it right with the actors, but it's all the little things. all actors try to do better. Well, it's over with their excessive tolerance, they overturned, even if they looked at Europe of the 12-13th centuries, but many will say there are elves, but still.

Henry Cavil is a great actor and draws a lot from Gerald's game series character. The difference in acting quality from Henry and the other characters can catch you off-guard sometimes... But I just think it will improve over time, aside from Henry and some small exceptions, the actors are new in the field.. I

So i did say to my freind after 3 episodes that i really didnt like the witcher. Then i read some reviews (which didnt bother to watch further as well). I watched til the end. I really liked it. Listen to me!

Do not stop after watching 2 episodes. The first 2 episodes are just terrible. And in my opinion the third to fifth arent great as well but they feel like they are meant for soemthing better. They tried to introduce so many different characters. Annoying, dumb charcters i didnt care for. But also they did some speedrun with the development of Yennefer and Geralt. The saved the whole dilemma. There was a point in episode 6, when everything made sens. The characters started to feel more immersive. The story started to take off and so did the characters.

This season felt way too much like GoT. Also the looks of season one arent the greatest all the time. Sets looked so nice, that they where like plastic. Some characters are annoying and badly written (like this review). Hopefully there will be more witcher time in the future.

First two episodes easily 1 star.
3 - 5 gets around 2,5 to 3 stars.
But from there on its really really great. No annoying scenes, no nonsense. I started to assemble a timeline. Just a great adventure starting to get steamy! After all i loved it!

PC ethnicity changes aside, fans of the series will really appreciate this. Henry Cavill's performance as Geralt is fantastic, and I found all the main characters' actors in general did a great job with what they were given.

Clearly the only problem with this show is the network execs dumbing it down and avoiding risks. I'll be watching in future with high hopes for where it could go. Get Hissrich off this and you'll notice a big improvement.

Meiner Meinung nach eine sehr gute Adaption des/der Bücher. Die Charaktere sind sehr gut getroffen und stimmig zur Geschichte. Die Kostüme sind sehr schön gestaltet und die Kämpfe sehr gut choreografiert.
Allerdings bin ich der Meinung, dass nur wer sich schon einmal mit der Materie des Hexers auseinandergesetzt hat, wirklich die ganze Wirkung dieser Serie aufnimmt.
Letztendlich ist diese Serie aber auch unerfahrenen Zuschauern zu empfehlen, da diese Lust auf mehr macht und den Einstieg in Bücher und Spiele vielleicht versüßt. Und der Soundtrack erst... ein Ohrwurm für Wochen

The performances are impeccable, the scenarios impressive. If you are looking for a story attached to video games this isn't the case, because CD Projekt Red took certain liberties (Triss Merigold was never Geralt's love, that was always Yennefer, besides Triss isn't a redhead) if they're going to criticize the series because they have never read a book and didn't like Triss, their criticism isn't objective. Is a great serie. Expand

O programa poderia ter gerenciado as linhas e saltos temporais um pouco melhor, pois elas podem causar alguma confusão nos primeiros episódios. E alguns dos efeitos visuais também poderiam ser melhores.

BUT, the timeline for someone who never read the books was really confusing, hell, even for me was a little bit confusing. I'm not asking for linearity, just be more coherent.

Still, one of the best Netflix "originals" to date.

And less one point for the terrible casting of Triss Merigold, who is a fiery red head, with delicate sharp features and milk white skin, not a plain Jane brown haired girl..

But as a fan of the Game ,but not so much the books I really didnt think Netflix's : "The Witcher" would appeal to me at all. Then you Meet Henry Cavil as Geralt and he is perect in the role, then Anya Chalotra as Yennifer who just nails the Sorceress and Finally Joey Batey as Dandelion and the show simply revolves perfectly around them.. While there is definently some harder to watch performances these 3 along with Renly in the begining and it easy to overlook the flaws.
Another thing they have done well in implement the world and its law in a way that isnt overwhelming. It has been dumbed down some what but you cant blame the shows creators for that, given the low intelligence of critics these days.
Its an amazing ride so far, full of cool and funny moments, and Season one has definitely set the ground work for a tale spaning years.

Prologue: Lauren Schmidt couldn't handle Witcher.
Not only the way the story is presented to the viewer is awful and way too confusing but also decisions she made in regard to how characters should look are arbitrary and irrational. Act 1: Utter failure.
Triss Merigold has golden chestnut chairs and big blue eyes and is one of the most striking and vivid characters in the Witcher lore. Everyone understands it just not damn Netflix which completely fails to choose decent lookalike for this role.
On another hand, Yennefer face has a triangle shape and pale skin while Netflix went "screw it" and choose actress with a square jaw and brown skin tone.

Act 2: Seriously! What are you doing?!
Most armies in the show have proper armours but for some reason, Nilfgaardians look like clowns wrapped in black paper frills. How can this show get so many minor things right but completely fail at so many major and obvious things?

Act 3: Hope
Show gets saved by Henry Cavill, Freya Allan and Emma Appleton.
While some scenes are ruined by uneven or just plain bad CGI and utterly mismatched actors Cavill, Frey and Emma still deliver great performance.

Epilogue: 3 characters saved the day.
If not for Henry, Freya and Emma this show would sink the bottom of the ocean faster than Titanic after hitting the iceberg.

It contains much of what you would want in a western fantasy, but the execution is not always what I would have hoped for. The story itself is nothing special, but somehow still managed to get me invested from the start. I don’t really know what part of the story gripped my attention, I just know for a fact that I couldn’t stop thinking and wondering of what was going to happen next.

The biggest surprise for me is how solid the acting is, especially Henry Cavill as Geralt, Anya Chalotra as Yennefer and Joey Batey as Jaskier. If only the writers would have done an equally good job, unfortunately they didn’t which made some dialogues feel very amateurish. Though most dialogue was actually good, but the ones that were bad stuck out like a sore thumb and cheapened the experience in more ways than bad dialogue usually does for me. And that’s a good summation of the show overall. Most things are good, but the bad somehow becomes very memorable and noticeable which makes the show feel very cheap and amateurish in certain instances.

There are some things that obviously needs to be fixed in the next season, but nothing so big that it can’t be done. I have high hopes that the ones in charge manage to solve the problems. If they do that and the story manages to pick up a little then I am sure that I’m going to love it, because It has already grabbed my attention, but I’m not fully hooked yet.

1. I did not like the actress who plays Triss;
2. It looks a little cheap (a small budget affected, but everything looks exactly fine);
3. Geralt lacks a little bit of emotion;
4. And the last is what I think is completely subjective, but lacks a little dirt. The period of the Middle Ages is nonsense, I judge so because it is my favorite genre of something.
And so I absolutely liked the series. I judge only by a series of games, the book, so far, have not read, but plan.

This takes place on another planet in another dimension where portals periodically show up and drop random people and creatures into this world from a variety of others including our own. The geography is distinct from Eastern Europe which means it isn’t Europe.

Besides, why do people assume there are no black elves? Africa is where humans first evolved. Having black people in the setting isn’t unrealistic or surprising.

While I do wish they casted Triss as well as they did Yen, I’m not going to bring politics into a story. In the end, it’s a great show that only suffers from its ambition getting ahead of its limited resources. I recommend it to anyone that doesn’t get have seizures over skin pigment.

The poor reviews for this show stem from irrelevant and uninterested parties, some of which didn’t even watch the full series; serious, some of them skipped a few episodes and still feel that their judgement is valid. Nonetheless, this adaptation of the Witcher is easily one of the best originals on Netflix. All the work put into this masterpiece of a first season successfully captures both the novel and game series, the balance is struck perfectly. The casting is terrific, however there are a few roles which could have been changed, such as the actress who portrays Triss Merrigold (I’m a hardcore Witch video game fan so this choice doesn’t sit will with me). However the actress’s work does not fall short of excellent, so the experience was not impacted for me. This first season has not only rekindled my love for the Witcher series, but it also has secured Netflix’s subscription in my bank account. This show could have so easily been tarnished through executive agendas and bad writing, but this sets the bar for how well done future adaptations, and shows in general, should be done. I am so thankful for this wonderful and exciting new journey that Geralt will embark on, and I can’t wait for season two. Expand
