Netflix The Witcher is finally out and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised.

I've played CD Projekt Reds adaptation of The Witcher and read the books by Andrzej Sapkowski which this serie is mostly based on. I've had my share of doubts and fears when Netflix released the trailers for the show but that doubt and fear disappeard after the two first episodes.

A lot of people are comparing The Witcher with Game of Thrones and that's something they should try to avoid. Game of Thrones is Game of Thrones and nothing will ever be like it and The Witcher isn't Game of Thrones nor should it try to be it. The Witcher is it's own creation that's trying to fill the emptiness Game of Thrones left behind it when the show ended.

It is a good first season, the storytelling might be a bit fast paced and confusing for those who knows nothing about the world. You'll have to watch atleast the first 4 episodes before you start understanding what is going on.

I have high hopes for the upcoming season, there are so many stories to be told. So far we have just seen the tip of the iceberg about Geralt, Yennefer and Ciris stories.
