I wanted to like The Witcher's (Netflix, 9 eps, 1hr) inaugural season, I really did, but I had to bail after episode 6, I couldn't even finish the stupid series. Henry Cavill is great but he's got poor material to work with. The series appears to strive to be another Game of Thrones but they're just not up to it. It turns out it's just another wanna-be epic-fantasy based in medieval times which apparently is great for low budget efforts. VFX don't even happen until episode three or four and just for brief periods. There are rampant character and plot inconsistencies throughout and by episode six I just didn't really care to see how any character fulfilled their potential. Finally, the series leans Progressive Left with its unlikely and irritating grrl power messaging. Hollywood just has no concept of the soft touch anymore, it's just ham-fisted in-your-face messaging/proselytizing that only polarizes audiences. "The Witcher" isn't a horrible series, I gave it a tepid 5-rating, for its lack of appeal to my demographic, but I'm certain tweens/young teens will love it for its surface level fantasy notions, but adults will find it a poor attempt at epic fantasy.
