I watched the entire series in 1 day, and am excited to start my re-watch after Christmas.

This show was not corny, or cheesy, and it avoided the trap of feeling like a B-Movie that fantasy productions often find themselves falling into. The Witcher succeeded at recreating the feeling of excitement, and anticipation for getting invested in a show that is so rare, and I have not felt since Game of Thrones and Outlander began.

The performances of each cast member was excellent, especially the main cast, Henry Cavill is the perfect Geralt in my opinion and you can barely tell a difference between him and the video game Geralt. Anya Chalotra as Yennefer was the biggest surprise, and delight for me with this first season. She absolutely nailed this character and I feel like one of the strongest points of this series has been the character development of Yennefer, I still can't get the daisy scene out of my mind. I also really liked Anna Shaffer's Triss a lot, and Freya Allan was also a superb Ciri.

The show gave pretty good sense of the world, they really succeeded at making the world feel like the Witcher's world and it's atmosphere. The scope, and pacing of each episode was fantastic and did not feel either manic or drawn out, the dialogue was pretty solid and the chemistry between the cast is excellent.

My biggest "gripe" isn't much of a gripe at all, but I was disappointed that while the music was definitely GOOD and fit the atmosphere of the show well enough, it was not GREAT. There wasn't a stand out track that gave me chills, that I had to have on my playlist like I found with shows like Game of Thrones, or movies like Lord of the Rings. One of my favorite things about these fantasy franchises is the music that is created for them, so I hope they step it up a notch going forward.

You should absolutely give this show a chance, and please do watch every episode, and in order unlike a certain now infamous critic for Entertainment Weekly. :P
