The Witcher series (Netflix)

press seems pretty favourable, empire GQ and Forbes all liked it...but the reviewers had all played the games!
 
people seem to be impressed most by the fight scenes..so Cavill has put plenty of work in
 
Enjoying this so far. was a bit confused til I realised that...
Ciri's scenes are set in a different timeline to Yennefer and Geralt's. Those two are playing catch-up.
 
I've not played the games, or read any of the...graphic novels?... so interested in what those unfamiliar with it think. It looks good, though.
 
I was sure they would force the pathetically corny 'badass' American accent from the games on Cavill, because he could easily do so if asked, but they didn't. It looks so much better as a result.

Hopefully if they do any future Witcher games they'll use Cavill and purge any American accents from the series that made it feel like playing as a cosplayer in a giant renaissance fayre in Dumbassville.
 
Also quite enjoying it so far, and having read the books it seems quiet faithful. This could be a bad thing though as it's going to be a slow boiler and some might abandon it before it really gets started and the characters develop.

Enjoyed the first episode - sadly don't have time to watch more at the moment - I can see it potentially going slower though in the next few.

LOL - omg it has nudity... blah blah... I guess it's going to get some of the same flack as Game of Thrones got earlier on.

Seems to have triggered some Guardian writer a little bit too - on the basis of this review and the above it's probably going to be awesome:

Third episode so far and I think it's awesome. Cast are doing a great job and the visuals, etc. have been done to an incredibly high standard. I'm hooked.
 
Watched the first 2 episodes and think it's well under par. Was hoping for so much more. SOmething about it feels cheap; the writing mostly, but the visuals are off too. Not sure i'll continue. Has anyone got further?..does it actually get good?

The bard needs to **** off real fast.
 
I thought the same like it feels like a cheap Game of Thrones but I’m going to stick with it through to the end as I doubt I will ever read the books.
