The fantasy genre is perhaps my favourite from across film, tv and books so when I saw a new fantasy series by Netflix I thought I'd Witcher a go. I thought that if I liked the series then there was a book series that I could get into afterwards.

However, the series was so poorly executed. As someone new to the whole world I was so confused for a majority of it, the changing timelines with no title cards, the characters who never seem to age that doesn't help in that regard, the overall cheap look of the show and the general poor writing. One key thing that fantasy series need to get right is to aid new comers into their world so that the viewers/readers get used to it, this doesn't happen here. It's all over the place with writing, characters and narratives.

Why the showrunner thought using Memento as a basis for how to structure the show I'll neber know.

And while I like Henry Cavill, his voice in the series is just bad. Instead of sounding natural it sounds like a character in that world who is attempting to sound tougher by putting that voice on.
