I am writing this review only because I found reviews from outlets such as EW completely misguided (totally agree with E. Kain's article in Forbes). The Witcher is a dark high fantasy series, not easily edible by all. It is a rich world and no it is no GoT, since it does not seem to aim to become one. H.Cavill really embodies Geralt of Rivia, as well as A. Chalotra, who plays Yennefer. The world building and the costumes, are really good, even though some of the creatures could be better designed (especially the dragons, which were of Xena's and Hercules' production aesthetic from way back in the '90s). All-in-all a magnificent show. Can't wait for season 2.
