I know about The Witcher because of the wildly popular game, The Witcher 3, Wild Hunt. Though I haven't played the game cause my system isn't powerful enough to play the game in full glory and I don't have the time for it. I suspect with a better system, I'd definitely make time for it.

All of this is to say that I don't know the world of Witcher going into this show and it's a complicated world full of monsters, Kingdoms, mages, laws and timelines. It's a bit difficult to wrap your head around and the show doesn't make it any easier especially with the storytelling across different timelines. The first few episodes can be confusing but stick around and things start getting clearer. The payoff for sticking around is around episode 7 where the timelines converge and you start to understand how things connect.

Now, even with those complications, the show is entertaining and enjoyable. All of the fight sequences involving Henry Cavill is damn fun, and is definitely the best part of the show. Henry Cavill has worked hard and it shows, the sword fights have real depth to it. The big scale war scenes are a bit lacking and cannot come anywhere near GOT. The show also gets campy and cheesy from time to time but overall it's a good season 1 and I'm excited to see where the show goes from here.
