The Netflix adaptation of The Witcher is a dark tale that is often somewhat hard to follow. Showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich based the show on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski and is very different from the computer games that we all love.

TV shows such as Spartacus, Vikings and Game of Thrones have risen the bar for graphic violence and nudity, two things that we all loved about the game and sadly is lacking from the show.

Cavill's portrayal of the charismatic monster slayer is very disappointing, his frequent grunts and brooding looks just aren't enough to capture the man that we all know Geralt to be.

Chalotra had the hardest job playing the extremely voluptuous and sexy sorceress. Her portrayal of the earlier years of Yennefer were interesting however, we are soon introduced to her "full self" and sadly she lacked all the finer qualities of the character that we were all so drawn to.

The show also jumps between different timelines which don't appear to be in any order. When we are introduced to a new character in the show we are often thrown off whether this is in the past, present of future.

The show is worth a watch but hard core fans of the books and games will be slightly disappointed due to the lack of content and poor casting choices.
