I must admit I was a bit worried about the Witcher series before it came out, due to the whole woke feeling of the trailers, news and the custome designes.

I am happy to announce that those concerns can largely be laid to rest. This Witcher series felt authentic. It's gritty and plenty of character development. Henry Cavill does an AMAZING job playing as Geralt. I had expectations of Henry, but this exceeded even that. He captures Geralts behaviour and humor to the T. Freya Allan also does a fantastic job as Ciri.

The first episode I would say is the series weakest, but it picks up speed pretty fast, and it finishes season 1 incredibly strong. Honestly I can't wait for Season 2!!!

My only complains are that Yennefer and Triss Merigold felt badly cast. I know its a petty thing to complain about, but sorceresses are described as 10/10 in their appearances, for valid reasons too which I will not go into detail here. Anyway, they are supposed to be some of the most beautiful women in the world of witcher, the ideals which they have been shaped into during their transformation. Actresses potraying Yennefer and Triss respectively, are not bad actors and I have outmost respect for them, but they do not live up to the appearances of their characters. They look like an average person on the street, and not like a sorceress should look like. It makes it weird why Geralt would be absolutely smitten by Netflix's Yennefer. I hope showrunners dare to do a recast for these two roles but I don't count on it.This does not make or break the show for me, but it is the reason I give it a 9/10 rather than 10/10, since they are main characters and take up a lot of screen time.
