For a viewer who didnt read the book or played the video game, The Witcher was totally new for me and that became very clear when watching the 1st season.

If you are like me, you will be quite confused with all the names being thrown at you. On top of that, the flashbacks dont really help you too as it is often not clear whether they are flashbacks or not. So, it took me around 3 episodes to get into the Witcher and finally started to get familiar with all the names, kingdoms, who is who and all the relations between all the characters.

Did I like it? Mwah, so thats why my 5* rating. Let's see next year what season 2 will bring and whether I continue to watch the whole season. Probably I need to watch it on an evening when there is truly nothing else to do.
