First, let's get the obvious praise out of the way: Henry nails Geralt in ever way imaginable. Voice, mannerisms, everything. His passion for both his craft and the source material absolutely carries this series.

But there's a lot of negatives with this series. The writing is subpar, the pacing is horrendous, and the dialogue rides the razor thin line between cringeworthy and ludicrous. There's zero world building, and watching this with my girlfriend required a lot of pausing to fill in the blanks that were obviously neglected by the writers. The casting is, for the most part, pretty terrible.

If you've played the games or are familiar with the books, it's unlikely you'll be able to recognize most of the characters in the series. Very little attention was paid to obvious, identifying details (e.g EVERYTHING about Triss, hair and eyes included). When the show finally gives the character a name, you'll be absolutely aghast at how grievously they've deviated from the source materials.

This series is NOT a faithful retelling of the Witcher novels. It's a fairly fun action series with a Witcher flavor, but not much else.
