I love this sort of fiction and read fantasy avidly. Saying that, I had not read any of the Witcher books before and I had little expectations.

I watched 3 episodes back to back. This show is highly addictive. Netflix has done themselves proud. Please ignore those who seek to compare it to GOT, it isn't like that at all. We are doing it a disservice by comparing it. GOT was all about politics, this is about fantasy, mages, monsters and the inherent belief in destiny. The fight scenes are epic, the secondary characters are well rounded, and having two strong women as the main in characters? Well what can I say. Also Henry Cavill is perfect in this role.

Like all shows, the first season is laying down the storylines, it can be a bit slow and disjointed but when a show has so many storylines, it's going to be. I can't wait for season 2, and 3 and 4 .... here's hoping!
