Amazing!! IT was worth waiting for it. Great plot, story and scenario. We can see the sole of Sapkowski books in the show. Amazing.

But oh man I'm here to tell you if you are a witcher fan you will be very pleased. The only thing that' I dont like is the pacing. Even as a mega whitcher fan it threw me off a little bit I can imagine if ur brand new to the witcher it may be confusing. But in the end it comes together beautifully. The other thing I dont like is trisses appearance but other than that I'm happy especially happy with our hero gerald Henry is pulling him off like no other .. cant wait to see what they gonna do with this series.its a mist watch for fan. But for the new comers maybe play the game read the book first to get immersed even more but I think if u havent it's just fine 2 solid. Expand

I think the show made a solid first season and now that everything is set up... season two will be ready to explode out the gates! Excellent acting, scary monsters, and fight scenes that could make LOTR jealous. I loved the visuals and music, it really set the tone of the gritty world that most of the Witcher takes place in. This is one of those shows that takes you a few minutes to adjust to, much like any new show pushing boundaries like Firefly, Star Trek or any other great show out there! Just sit back and enjoy the ride! Can’t wait for season 2 Expand

Finally a series that doesn't hold my hand like I'm a toddler. I made an account purely because I couldn't believe it was rated so poorly by "professional critics"...

The action is brutal and intense, the one liners from Geralt are hiliarious, and they explore important themes regarding the human condition and feminism (I'm a guy so easy there incels).

The cutting through time can be a bit disorienting at first but if you're more in it for the mystery (I never read the books) and you pay attention it truly is the best way to develop several characters very rapidly.

All that said. If you don't want to think and put things together then maybe just rewatch himym.

Pro tip - watch with subtitles on so you don't miss any important dialogue and turn up the brightness on your television a little.

The images of Triss and Yennifer are more authentic in the series than in games. People were greatly imbued with sympathy for the images of their favorite characters from the game and now reject everything that does not correspond to them. I gave a chance to the series and it did not disappoint me. Over time, I was imbued with sympathy for the characters in the series and no longer experienced discomfort. People who find fault with such things and various trifles seem to me biased and too conservative. Sometimes, it seems to me that they are trying to amuse their pride in this way, thereby showing that they read books compared to some. I am sincerely sorry for such people, because they are fixated on trifles and are unable to enjoy a good series. Watching the series, I did not feel discomfort about the races. The image of Kalante and Yennifer are quite feminist in the series and, in principle, this corresponds to their characteristics in the books. Ciri in the book was either lesbian or bi. The series is not one of those that you can run in the background and do household chores. You must be very careful not to miss important details. The plot is messy, but this is not a script problem. It is rather a problem of the source. The first season of the series is based on the first two books of Sapkowski, which were not novels, but cycles of stories and are chaotic in themselves. As for me, the creators of the series managed to streamline the Geralt storyline better than it was in the stories. This film adaptation has surpassed its literary source. The creators managed to do this with the help of their freedom in the plot. With all due respect to Sapkovsky, he was not a drama guru, and most people found out about his books thanks to the witcher’s game series, which continued the plot from the books. Almost all the creators' liberties in the plot added drama and were created in order to better adapt the plot to the cinema. Moreover, all ideas and meanings have been preserved. In the series, the internal conflicts of the characters are much better developed. The characters look more multifaceted than in the cycles of Sapkovsky's stories. The picture and dialogs are good, but not perfect. The creators have something to work on. Of the advantages I want to especially highlight the musical accompaniment in the series, added humor and fighting scenes. The series has great potential. (Sorry for my English) Expand

Caville plays Geralt with perfection, embodying the feel and sound of the witcher, aswell as his inner emotions and drama.
The characters are well played, and well excecuted. The cast does a good job in their roles, so theres never a moment without suspense or thrill.

If you love the books or the videogames, this is a must watch!

If you know nothing of the witcher series, read the books first, it may help with the show.

11/10. Will rewatch asap!

The settings, costumes, cinematography, and overall great acting really bring everything to life in a way that is entertaining and compelling. It took me a few episodes to figure out which scenes were flashback versus present day, but I really liked that aspect of it. I have a few minor issues with things like Geralt switching between a British and American accent, Geralt using the wrong kind of sword for the fight he was in, Triss not having red hair, and a very low number of monsters, but those are easily overlooked. I'm hooked and can't wait for season 2. 8 out of 10

I had to give this a perfect 10 review just to offset the kooks who give it a straight up 0. It's a fictional story set in a fictional realm. It's not Medieval Europe. It's not even Earth.

Netflix hit the jackpot with him as the main character. The plot is following the book and characters were defined and detailed after the game which is a big win from my point of view. People/critics who are ranking this show with 0 are not even worth taking in consideration. Been reading through some of these reviews and I can say mostly are non-sense or pure hate. I surely hope Netflix will continue to finance Witcher with same cast and directors. Expand

I have never written a review about anything and published it online, but this time, I feel like I have to spread the word.
I came in with low expectations, since I saw some of the casting choices and the "meh" trailers. I should also say that I'm an avid fan of the games, although I have never read the books.

I was absolutely blown away by the show. It gripped me from front to finish with its fantastic acting, genius writing, epic music, perfectly timed humor, I could go on. From Geralt to Yennifer to Ciri to Queen Calanthe, the range on these actors in the multitude of situations they're put in is insane. They all portray their characters, as far as I am aware of, wonderfully. Storytellingwise, they conveyed, in the first episode alone, the chemistry between the different people and made me care for them enough that what came later in the episode really impacted me. I don't think there has ever been a series that has managed that with me. Usually, when writers make big scenes for characters that I've only just met, it falls flat on its face but not here. What the show also does is set up mysteries and unknown that are slowly unravelled and paid out immensely. Without spoiling too much, they make use of multiple timelines - something they don't outright say but that becomes clearer over the first few episodes. When these timelines are merged later, it is fluid, epic and makes sense. Not something I can say of most series, once again.
The action is some of the best I've ever seen, without the hollywood shaky cam. Everything is deliberate, brutal and visible. The timing on the humor had me laughing out loud more times than I remember, not just from Dandelion but Geralt and the entire cast.

Now to get to what every 0 here has pointed out: the casting. I had my concerns as well, as to whether those decisions are somehow indicators of other bad decisions. And whether it would rip me out of the immersion. But no. It could have - but it didn't, because everything else was so goddamned good. I stopped noticing already during the first episode. Maybe also because there were so few examples of where it went wrong. Sure, I'm kind of distanced from Triss because she isn't the Triss I know from the games, but her acting was great, really. Didn't throw me off too much, I just have to relearn some emotional attachments. This series is anything but a political message and to all those who are so convinced it is: you're just the same as the people who would like one to be in every movie. This series is a masterpiece. And I can't wait for more. Maybe in some parts with a smidge more budget so they can really run wild, but with what they did with so little, I have no qualms either way ;) .

P.S.: I love Dandelion. Just wanted to put that out there.

But after first two episodes I got absolutely sucked in. All characters (especialy Geralt, who is played briliantly by Henry C., who´s I am, after this. even bigger fan) are VERY well played and all my initial worries went to be redundant. Fight scenes are thrilling and greatly made, and the story is eventhough slowly, but logicly and nicely built, which is very important for those unfimiliar with the witcher world. UTTERLY HYPED FOR THE SEASON 2!!! Expand

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.

Judging by the trailer and season 1 and the "wig" that everyone loved so much does not make any sense whatsoever. People try, make content so that you "don’t sit on the priest exactly with a candle on the table." For starters, try to create something yourself and give it to the public. We look forward to the next season. Expand
