The endless TWISTS in this show! 🤯 I can't even. And the number of times my feelings about characters flipped as I watched each season... I loved them, I hated them, and I wanted all of them to win.

Peak television. 👌🏾 Thoroughly enjoyed Season 1. Can't wait for more!

A solid movie! I really enjoyed seeing Amber's character learn and grow from her mistakes and experiences throughout the movie.

Excellent! Nothing bad to say. This show was highly entertaining. Can't wait for Season 2!

Let me at him! On another note, I did not go in expecting a complete tragedy, which is why I'm rating this so low. This movie was categorized under "spicy romance" on Netflix. This was barely the former and not at all the latter. Abuse and manipulation do not qualify as "romance." You've been warned.

I loved learning more about Vesemir and how the witchers were created! The acting was outstanding, the drama of the story griping, the animation beautiful, and the action thrilling. Tetra was an especially interesting character, and the way her magic was rendered was stunning. I'd love to see more animated tales of the witchers!

I'm truly flabbergasted by how many 5-star ratings. I thought it was awful. Not a single redeeming quality imo. The hamfisted "diversity" factor was so jarring and totally took me out of the story. It made absolutely no sense with the setting. I couldn't get behind the protagonist at all. It just felt like she was stumbling her way through everything. There honestly wasn't a single thing I enjoyed about this show (except maybe the visuals). I watched it just to see if it would get better. It did not. Really not surprised it wasn't renewed.

Updated review after Season 1: Unpopular opinion, but I feel like seasons 2 and 3 are a lot better than season 1. Actually interested in continuing watching the series, despite Geralt being recast upon Cavill's departure. (Original review of Season 1: 2 stars) The animated movie detailing Vesemir's origins is waaaaaay better than the TV show. (I wish the movie were a TV series instead.) I honestly don't understand why the live-action is getting such rave reviews. It starts off somewhat promising, particularly with Yennefer's storyline, but then...deteriorates into senseless drivel. Honestly, I'm not interested in watching a whole episode of Yennefer f-king random people for "reasons." There's also the confusing way that Geralt's, Yennefer's, and Ciri's storylines were initially introduced. (And this is coming from someone who was at least somewhat familiar with the Witcher through the 3rd video game. And yes, I realize the TV show is based on the books, not the games.) Not to mention the ending was a bit of a mess... I will say that Henry Cavill is perfect for Geralt. And the use of magic and many of the fight scenes are wonderful to watch--the show's saving grace imo. At the end of the day, I wish they would have continued with the more serious tone established in Yennefer's storyline instead of the jarring attempts at more lighthearted humor that came to an annoying head with the bard. Not really a fan of his whole role in the show tbh. They also overuse the term "destiny." I don't know if that's true of the books, but it's about as annoying as the bard. Still, I find the lore of Geralt's world fascinating, so I'm hoping Season 2 will show improvement. Like...a lot.

I haven't read the books, so I don't exactly care about how it matches those. I wasn't fully on board with Season 1. I thought the writing was a little weak, though overall I found the story and worlbuilding interesting and I wanted to learn more. I have to say, Season 2 is much stronger, more gripping, and has me excited and looking forward to each new episode. So if you weren't wholeheartedly into Season 1 but had some interest in this show, just know it gets better.

As if I needed any more reasons to love Keri Russell.
