You might say that The Witcher universe Lauren Schmidt Hissrich has created is akin to dropped pie - there's a bit of dirt mixed in with the crushed pastry, spilt gravy and delicious chunks of meat. You decide the dirt doesn't bother you and you eat it anyway; especially when Henry Cavill is involved. I thoroughly enjoyed The Witcher but it may not be for everyone.

There's plenty of action, the plot is nice and condensed and the fantasy aspects are impressive to behold. If the goons and monsters don't draw you in, then Cavill's muscles certainly will.

If you're seeking a decent Netflix binge this week, might I suggest you toss a coin to your Witcher and give the show a chance. At the very least, you'll see some attractive people swinging swords and slaying ghouls. If you're like me, then you'll be drawn into the universe and desperately want more. -JaYne Watch It Wombat
