The Witcher Season 1 (4 out of 5 stars).

The Witcher is a good fantasy series that opens for a larger story arc for many seasons to come. It is an introduction to characters like Ciri, Yennefer, and Geralt. It is an origin story and how these characters interconnect. Sadly, the series does fail and struggle with its storytelling with its non linear direction. Making the direction and its story uneven. And also failing with developing the characters.

The concept and story context is addicting to watch and see how it folds together. From the opening battle in the first episode. With Ciri being on the run. And the rest of the series follows Yennefer and how she came to be with her powers. To Geralt and his mini adventures of coming across a dragon or fighting a Jinn. The love story with Geralt and Yennefer is done well. The middle of the season can be slow moving with its direction following Yennefer and Geralt. The finale picks up with a battle that was entertaining and exciting. Ending in a cliffhanger for another season to come. The visual effects are pretty decent. The acting is acceptable. And it has a decent amount of action.

Henry Cavill is perfect as Geralt. Freya Allan as Ciri is good. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer is beautiful and stunning. I would love to see these characters continue their journey in future seasons.

Overall, The Witcher season 1 is a good and fun journey. Following an uneven story line as an origin story for these characters. But it is entertaining and exciting. I cant wait to see more.
