Was hopeful for the series. The games got me into the books and while the games are their own story, they did a surprisingly good job of capturing the feel of the books while being their own thing. Netflix's series, especially the 3rd season, has completely butchered the story and dumbed it down because, apparently, American citizens are too stupid to follow a complex story line. Henry Cavill is a fan of the witcher books and games and it shows through his performance. I wouldn't have thought Cavill would make a good Geralt of Rivia, but he completely carries the show. Despite this, he barely gets any screen time on a show titled, "The Witcher." For a fantasy series which is supposed to help people escape from the realities and hardships of life, the show runners can't help but turn it into their own personal social activism platform.
