The Witcher content will be posted on this channel on a weekly basis, sometimes more frequently!

This is The Witcher universe that Cavil was actively fighting against. We always believed him, but now we REALLY understand.

[DisturbedAngle]

Netflix should sell their rights to the franchise to someone who appreciates the source material and would do it justice. It’s just a cash grab for them at this point.

[infamousrainbow]

This whole show felt like an ad for the designer Iris von Herpen. She does really futuristic dresses and everything the princess wears is hers

[MrClockwrk]

Remember folks, don’t watch the show if you want this to stop. Netflix is carefully watching the engagement metrics, not the reviews.

[daisukeakihito]

This is the witcher the writers wanted to make without Henry getting in their way.

I laughed my ass off at the castings for Eredin and Avallac'h

[joshewert]

Another issue with Netflix is every relationship between anyone needs to be romantic… the minute you do that and it not being a long journey getting there just ruins the whole thing. It’s as if Netflix doesn’t think friendship is anything but leading to something more…

[victorsouza]

I'm cringing at the mere description of the show. I can't imagine the amount of pain you must have gone through for our sake. You are a hero, sir.

[maxkanefield]

I love the scene where the character who was very much in high security prison just shows up in a forest and is like "o ya I escaped"

[merdufer]

Some issues have such an easy fix. Instead of "I thought sharing my songs would make up for my crime, but now I realize it doesn't", say "I tried to forget my crimes, lose myself in my songs, but they haunt me still."

[redcap]

That whole script remind me when i was teenager and writing fantasy novels as a hobby. I was using same cliches, and struggle with characters build up. Those novels were so unreadable. Only difference is that eventually I accepted my lack of talent and move on.

[MrAnt-hhbp]

I just watched a 20 minute review of a show I'll never watch. No regrets.

[skyeait]

her difference in reaction to her sisters death compared to that dude she just met when she thinks he's dead in the cave was hilarious.

[LukeRM]

That feeling when you watched Rings of Power and thought you hit the rock bottom and you can't go any lower, then suddenly you hear Lauren Fisstech knocking from down-under you to prove you wrong.

[TheKrou]

Thank you Netflix. Now when I revisit those old Polish TV/movie adaptations of the Witcher I actually think they're good.

[emilchristianevangelio]

The fact that they don't even know who ciri's ancestor is, speaks about the writers

[zarukcodaedalus]

It's just funny how the elves don't act like elves. They act like regular humans

[rekka]

the good guy group getting together sounds exactly like the first few hours of a DnD campaign session 1.

[jakub_paints]

A random forest in Toussaint has had more care, lore and soul put into it than all of the Netflix "Witcher" stuff put together.

[Incoherent-excitement]

Can see why Henry is jumping ship. One thing I noticed watching this (I didn't watch the actual show) was that the costumes and props look so new; no distressing to the costumes (eg like in LoTR or PotC), which makes them seem lived in and well used. You often see that on budget, b-movie sets because I guess they don't have the money to have multiple versions of a costume at different levels of distress. It's surprising considering how much money was spent on the show.
