I binged watch on Netflix's The Witcher over the weekend and found myself hypnotized and glued on to the screen to watch all 8 episodes (with taking naps in between)

Below are my personal thoughts on the hits and misses of this fantasy series:

-All of the swordplay and fights were awesome! -The monsters/creatures did not look cheesy. -The cinematography is beautiful and the show did not look cheap. -The use of CGI and the magic showed in the series did not look tacky. -Yennefer's transformation story tugged on my heartstrings. -Geralt and Yen's acting was superb (Henry and Anya) -Jaskier (Dandelion) is one of my favorite characters!!! His singing and charm and his dynamic with Geralt is well worth his screen time. -The soundtrack is beautiful! "Toss a Coin to your Witcher" got stuck in my head! "The Song of the White Wolf" is beautifully ethereal and made me a bit emotional. -Henry may have overdone Geralt's voice a bit in some dialogues but seeing him play the white wolf made him a very fitting cast given he is one passionate Witcher fan. -The story telling was a bit all over the place but it will all make sense in the last few episodes. -I am 70% intrigued by Ciri but still looking forward to see her progress in future seasons (hoping for more seasons please) -The lore from the books were changed but I find it normal to tweak some for audiences to easily digest the story -Triss looked lacking (compared to the books and games) -Definitely an entertaining watch!

The people behind making The Witcher did a masterful job in adapting Andrzej Sapkowski's short stories/saga.

Overall, the series is enjoyable and I am looking forward to more seasons!
