This series looks like a million bucks. It draws from a video game source which I've played myself. The series captures the visual appeal and dark tone of the video game, as well as its pitfalls of not having much in the way of story and character. Netflix's "The Witcher" is one of the driest fantasy series I've watched. It overloads on complicated place names and character names, and even manages to cast its characters like carbon copies of each other (why do all the female characters look the same?). Henry Cavill, an impossibly charming actor most of the time, seems to drain all the charm out of himself in order to play this stoic character. I'm glad I decided to fast forward to the end of the series to see if anything in this department changed, because it didn't. If you want to hate fantasy just that little bit more, watch this series.
