The Witcher Season 2 (2021) is a series my wife and I recently completed on Netflix. The storyline picks up with our hero, Geralt, who encounters a female that is looking for purpose and direction. She had a unique quality that's grabs Geralt's attention that leads him to believe she may be able to help keep the Witcher line going. As they discover more about her past they discover she is part elf which will complicate matters.

This series was created by Lauren Schmidt (The West Wing) and stars Henry Cavill (Man of Steel), Freya Allan (The Third Kind), Anya Chalotra (Waderlust), Mimi Ndiweni(Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker) and Eamon Farren (Chained).

Season 1 did a great job of setting up the characters and establishing who and why they are the way they are while slowly building up to a significant adventure. Season 2 transitions to further developing the universe and how the characters play a bigger part in that evolution. I felt this series focused more on creating a Game of Thrones feel to it and had more monster battles, usually to close out an episode as the climax. There's some really good twists at the end of this season and another big battle that will set the direction of both the Witchers and the various societies.

Overall I do think Season 1 was better than Season 2 but the last 2-3 episodes of Season 2 were solid and give hope for a strong ongoing run. I would score Season 1 a 9/10 and Season 2 an 8/10.
