I hated Lord of the Rings, and managed to watch up to S4 of GOT. The Witcher game was pretty boring too... The medieval realms usually bores me. This is a great show so far, great balance of characters and story, not too hard to follow and easy to watch. The action is physical and looks real, the CGI is not overstated, and the Witcher "universe" is easy enough to digest... Just overall fun... And Henry Cavil is awesome!
