I am genuinely distraught and hurt over this recent season of The Witcher.

Now, before I get into this review, I am going to be taking an attitude of the show being over as in my heart and mind the show is officially dead. When Henry Cavil announced his resignation as Geralt of Rivia, I thought we would at least get one more good season, but that would prove to be false.

But as per usual first things first I will talk about the positives...

Seasons 1 and 2 were fantastic. The show featured great writing, great acting, great storytelling, great cgi, and a fantastic musical score.

I've never read any of The Witcher books but as someone who played the games and has a lot of respect for the lore and source material I had a massive amount of love for Henry Cavil who worked very hard to make sure the show was accurate to the source material or at least from what I've heard.

The show had some great action it was choreographed very well and was shot just as well. The stories of the characters were good and intrigued me in wanting to get to know them more. The politics, while not the shows focus, was great and written intelligently. But the real focus for me and what I kept returning for more was Geralts' monster slaying and his adventures with his traveling companion, Jaskier.

Now take all the good this show did box it up, pour gasoline all over it, and light it up because that's everything they did in this season.

This season was so bad everything, and anything that made the show good was reversed here. Terrible, boring writing, the storytelling was abysmal, even the cgi started taking a dump. I mean, how? After two fantastic seasons of some great cgi, and now it's just terrible!

The worst of this atrocity of a season is the finale. I cared so very little about this episode that my friends and I literally went almost half an hour of just talking before we started the finale just to take a break. Then, during the finale, I hit such a low point that I couldn't even pay attention. I had more interest in our conversations that my friends and I were having in the middle of the episode than I did in the actual episode.

Well, I could say more, but I just don't care too. Why they would end the show this way is beyond me! (yes, sarcasm) Maybe Liam Hemsworth will do a good job in the role of Geralt, but I am not going to be there to find out.

My final score for the series is, unfortunately, a disappointing six out of ten. The show had two great seasons yes but this season just soured everything. Henry Cavil deserved a way better send-off than this.
