This show certainly picked quite the challenge, introducing a new world to the viewer while at the same keeping it intriguing and not overwhelm.

Actors : Henry Cavill is a strong lead, and portrays Geralt fantastically. He alone makes this show go from average fantasy to a fantastic unique show.

Story : gripping yet can be daunting if you're completely new to story. But will pay off in the long run as they take their time to introduce all elements and build the characters such as Yennefer.

Effects, sound and props: this vary quite a bit, while most of the monster looks great others look like very dated effects. The music and sounds is nothing but fantastic, and creates a true atmosphere to the witcher universe. And I find costumes, armies and props greatly detailed and enhances the atmosphere further.

Conclusion: this is not a show for everyone, but no show is, not even GOT was. It has thrilling action scenes, a fantastic lead, the occasional humour, and a deep story that I will eagerly follow through seasons. Give it a chance as you wont be disappointed.
