A good take on the Witcher series. Although I must admit that I wasn't sure about Henry Cavill as Geralt when I first heard about the casting, I now have to admit he did a great job playing him.

Although they could have executed all theA good take on the Witcher series. Although I must admit that I wasn't sure about Henry Cavill as Geralt when I first heard about the casting, I now have to admit he did a great job playing him.

Although they could have executed all the various plotlines a bit better, especially as you seem to jump back and forth between different years, said plots were all excellent and seeing it all get together at the end was nice.

Like the others, I'm less happy with some of the casting choices in this series based on Slavic myth, but with most characters it was just easy to roll my eyes, turn my brain off and keep watching.

Another thing was, that, although fight scenes against humans looked good, especially if it was Witcher vs. Average Human, when it was against obviously CGI monsters it looked a bit...off. Not especially bad, but not great either.

Overall, though, I'm happy with the Witcher and looking forward to/hoping for a Season 2. Might play the Witcher games again or pick up the books while I wait.… Expand

Я был одним из немногих, кому понравился каст и трейлеры к сериалу. И вот, сегодня, а именно 20 декабря 2019 года, Netflix выложил все 8 серий первого сезона, и что я могу сказать, это очень круто! Я не зря верил в сценаристов, актёров, режиссёра и всех причастных, получился очень интересный и поистине захватывающий сериал! Все актёры смотрятся идеально на своих ролях, а Генри Кавилл идеальный Геральт. Понравилась история и то, как в сюжет вплетаются лорные моменты, ненавязчиво так, между слов, так что если вы не знакомы с данной вселенной, вы можете сильно запутаться, так что советую ознакомиться с играми, ну и книги можете почитать. Спецэффекты и боёвка выглядят шикарно, хотя местами видно, что бюджет был не очень-то и большим, но операторская работа сглаживает углы. Там, где можно было не использовать графику, создатели использовали практические эффекты, что не может не радовать. Очень сильно понравилась музыка, которая задавала нужный тон. Атмосфера тёмного фэнтези присутствует. Драматические моменты пробивали на слезу. В сериале есть и юмор, который всегда веселит и есть там, где нужен. Но и косяки встречаются, есть киноляпы, иногда очень заметные, а также фильтр картинки иногда меняется в двух кадрах, соседствующих друг с другом. Но это мелочи, всё остальное на высоте! Многие жалуются на обилие чернокожих актёров, поначалу сам этим грешил, но дело в том, что актёры хорошо играют и никто не делает упор на то, что они чернокожие, вам этим фактом в лицо не тычат, тогда какая разница? Все современные тренды обошли стороной данный сериал, нет не феминисток, не СЖВ и прочего, а это, лично для меня, огромный плюс! И ещё, этот сериал-не экранизация книг и игр, а вольная адаптация, поэтому примите это уже наконец и перестаньте сблёвывать в обилии свою желчь. Итог: мы имеем отличный сериал, который понравится людям, умеющим абстрагироваться и воспринимать адаптацию, как адаптацию, а не дословный пересказ книг/игр. С нетерпением жду второй сезон, который я надеюсь выйдет. 10/10… Expand

I was ready to put this show in the same bin as every other video game adaptation that has ever happened, but it surprised me. It genuinely felt like the Witcher, which was almost unbelievable to me. Who ever directed this did a damn good job at actually making it feel like the games. On top of all that the fighting is bad ass. No stupid ridiculous fight scenes that you see in every other show/movie. These scenes are something else entirely. The one thing that held me up with the time line skipping around. It was hard to follow along at times but its entirely possible I was not paying attention fully. There are also so corny spots like when Yenefer is chanting some weird chant on the bed with her **** out and also some corny dialog here and there. I'm no professional movie/TV show maker but in all I feel this adaptation will be something absolutely great in the future and I genuinely cannot wait until season 2.… Expand

The Witcher is an adaptation of eight books and three video games, released by CD Project Red. I have not read the books, but I have played all three video games. I watched this with my wife, who has no experience with the universe.

I wasThe Witcher is an adaptation of eight books and three video games, released by CD Project Red. I have not read the books, but I have played all three video games. I watched this with my wife, who has no experience with the universe.

I was worried about the adaptation for Netflix and in particular, Henry Cavill as Geralt of Riva. Geralt is an older character, and I was worried about how this would play out on the television. My worries were misplaced, as Henry portrays Geralt as close to the source materials that could be achieved in an adaptation from hundreds of hours of video games and books into television. It is clear that Henry is a fan of the source material and this shows through his entire performance, even down to the voice.

I didn’t buy into Anya Cholatra’s portray of Yennefer for most of the series but later on, it became more accurate to the source material; particularly in the final episode. Overall, Anya appears to be a very talented actress and I look forward to seeing her rise in prominence. I want to see her ‘own’ this character in the way Cavill has already taken ownership of Geralt.

Anna Shaffer as Triss Merigold is difficult to judge in this series, as she is very much a side character with little dialogue (mostly exposition outside of a single episode). Her wardrobe is out of place with the character we have grown to love in the video games; with the red hair that has become synonymous with Triss being absent. This is a character that will hopefully be developed in the future. The sorceresses are vain, and they use magic to heighten their physical appearance; they are cunning, long term strategists and committed to spreading their influence throughout the world. They use their positions at Court to gain influence and further their own goals. We need to see more of this.

Freya Allan as a young Ciri provided a competent portray, although again lacking substantial dialogue throughout the series. We know the character is special but the moving timeline in the episodes again made this character underexplored. This series is very much about Geralt and Yennefer and their rise in prominence and renown in the world. Joey Batey as Dandelion is the stand out character in the series and the closet to portray to the character from the subject materials. “Toss a coin to your Witcher” is the standout track from the series and fits the character perfectly. He portrays Dandelion with the cheek and playfulness that the subject material gives him. He provides the comedic relief in what is a bleak world and if Joey’s portray had been less sincere, it would have had a substantially detrimental impact on the series.

The world of The Witcher is captured accurately in this series; the grimy, dirty, middle ages atmosphere is abundant through the entire series. Several episodes were easy to get lost in, with the timeline moving backwards and forwards without clearly informing the viewer that this is happening. We had several “, but she died..” moments before realising what was going on. It was the main cinematography misstep in the series; I don’t see how the series would have been negatively impacted by portraying the series in its correct timeline.

The fight scenes are well-choreographed and provide enough gore and violence in short, sharp, points not to overindulge. The sex scenes will disappoint fans of the Witcher 2 but they are enough to move the storey forward; the relationship between Geralt and Yennefer builds as they begin to adore each other. The characters are mostly undeveloped and the finale of the season was left somewhat on a cliff hanger. This season needed a more in-depth initial examination of the characters at (perhaps) the loss of the storey to set the scene for new viewers, rather than leaning on fan service to bring in the converted. The converted were always going to be here for this after being starved of Witcher content since 2015’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. A longer season of say 12 episodes could have better developed these areas; we don’t even get a substantial explanation of what a Witcher is and how they are created! Overall we had a positive experience with this series, it hits most of the right notes but falls short of being a stand out season – it has all the hallmarks of an opening season with producers who are not entirely confident on how well it will be received. We are looking forward to the second season, which has already been greenlit. This is a solid 8/10 and worthy of a second season but this will need to do much more to bring in new audiences into this world and make this a long term Netflix hit that it has the potential to do. I hope they put caution aside and allow the writer to bring these characters to life in the second season.… Expand

I love it!!! Henry does a great Geralt and Yennefer is just an amazing character and is portrayed very well. 10 points is too little to give cause there are so many 0 for the sad haters.

Other than being pissed, I'm DISAPPOINTED. Bad acting and directing. Weak as **** writing. Seen better costumes in Cosplay pics. How's that happen? CGI looks like crap, too.

I see many 10s for this show and can't imagine how anyone thinks this show is great. Guess FOOLS accept anything. Guess they don't realize they weaken the Witcher legacy and support an ass-backwards kind of racism by rewarding this garbage.

Wonderfully executed. A must see un netflix.
Henry Cavill steals the show as the white wolf. Almost perfect, the one detail is that it has some story issues as it's a little caotic but excelent.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a brilliant first Step in the Witcher Universe. Episode 1 hit a brutally good opening. After that the quality slightly did go down, but all in all it was a very good first Season.

The Characters are phänomenal, Henry Cavill is just the right Geralt also Anya Chalotra as Yennefer was spot on. Lot of the side characters are well written and good picked.

The Scenery, atmosphere and also the CGI moments are very good for this first step. It was a high production value.

So was there something "bad"? Yeah there were a litte bit of confusing writing and storytelling, which lead to moments where it was very hard to follow at all. Also some Characters like Triss Merigold were kinda underrepresented. Lastly a few, really only a few, CGI moments werent that good.

All in all highly recommended for Fans and for New people to the franchise.… Expand

While reading this review, understand that I have not read the books or played the video-games so I came into it as close to not knowing anything about the world of the Witcher as one could but now I am completely hooked. Season 1 starts of rather "meh" with Episode 1 (it was okay but didn't blow me away) but each episode after just kept getting better and better where by the end of season 1 I didn't want to stop watching. So what's good? Well, firstly, Henry Cavill is a complete badass and a brilliant Geralt (again coming from someone who hasn't read the books or explored the games). I started off worrying that he would be a monotone character with little depth who just broods all the time and does his best attempt at a Batman voice impression but over 8 episodes you really see the character of Geralt grow and evolve. Cavill really knocks it out of the park; with his acting and the help of great makeup and costume team, he really transforms into Geralt and not just superman with a white wig on. So bravo!

Apart from Cavill, The Witcher has also has a wealth of great supporting cast and characters which all add their own interesting storylines and quirks to show. Without going into detail, the character of Yennifer has one of the most interesting storylines and journeys of the whole show. The Bard character also adds some really great comic relief and humor. What's also a strength of The Witcher's cast of character is is they feel real and gritty and filled with flaws. The writers do a great job of balancing those strengths and flaws.

What did feel like a bit of a challenge sometime was the 3 main storylines did sometimes get a little muddy/hard to follow especially when the show doesn't make the "timelines" very clear upfront (which may not be an issue for people familiar with these characters). To add to the challenge they also add in quite a number of new names and faces at the audience which was also a little difficult to keep track of. However, sticking with it definitely pays off and as various storylines come together it becomes clearer and clearer (also Googling helps).

Finally, one of the strongest things about the Witcher is the world that is created on screen. If you're a fan of fantasy then you'll no doubt love this show. There are a ton of very cool magic spells, fantastical creatures and host of classical fantasy tropes/must haves: taverns, quests, epic monster fight sequences, wenches, battling armies and the list goes on.

Overall, if you are fantasy fan then give The Witcher a shot. It's not a perfect show but it's a lot of fun and it seems to only get better.… Expand

All involved should be proud of their work on this project. Admittedly, without having read the books or played the games I can understand that it might be challenging to keep up with the flashbacks and flashforwards in the timeline. Some captioning might have helped alleviate this. All three of the leads played their parts perfectly. I was initially skeptical of the casting of HC for the role of Geralt, but seeing his passion about the project and the work that he putinto the role I'm glad that my initial skepticism was 100% wrong. AC also excelled in the role of Yennefer. Again, I was concerned about this casting choice as AC had few past credits on which to assess how she would care in this role. I was so impressed with her portrayal of Yennefer which is to me, embodied the complex character from the novels. Ditto with FA in her role as Ciri. In terms of the story and flow, aside from the sometimes confusing jumps in the timeline, LH and her writers did such a wonderful job piecing together the source material. I'm not sure if some of these professional critics understand the daunting challenge that LH and her team faced in adapting the source material which, TBH, is more than a little disjointed to start with.… Expand
