For someone who doesn't know a thing about THE WITCHER game or books...I have to say this show was lacking. The production values are strong...but the story is very undeveloped for someone coming into this with no knowledge. Henry Cavill is good to watch..but his one-line, deep-voice, Batman-like delivery doesn't work for me. (Maybe this is how the game is). The swish sound of the swords are very animated and sounds like a video game. That was my first hint to google this and see if this was based on a game. So for followers of the game I'm sure they are thrilled with this adaptation. For someone who just tuned in to see a well developed show...it's quite lacking.
