When I first turned on the series, I was sick, just looking for something to watch to get through the day and didn't expect much. I was pleasantly surprised. The Witcher is a fantastic fantasy based series. I personally have never played the video game or read the novel, but I binged the entire season in one sitting. The show can come off a bit fast paced, jumping between timelines, but the overall theme of "you cannot escape your destiny" remains ever present throughout each episode. There is admittedly, some awkward nudity that seems thrown into the show just for nudities sake. The show does also use lingo I wasn't privy to and found myself looking online for the meanings. But overall the show is definitely a worth while investment. I gave it 9/10 just simply because it was a bit fast in the beginning but you do catch up a few episodes in. The fight scenes are very well choreographed, Henry Cavill gives a very solid performance. Despite some crazy scenes, the supporting acting is very polished and really makes these scenes work.

I recommend this show to anyone who likes fantasy.
