Netflix to produce Witcher series starring Henry Cavill

[Kel Varnsen 8460]

Both with and without hump

[BayouBill 835]

Liking it so far. Cavill sounds exactly like Geralt from the games. 

[RexWilson 1346]

The way Geralt says "fuck" cracks me up. It's a very relatable feeling of not today/people always messing shit up.

[kingkoopa6 8350]

should i get these?

 

[demos 3003]

Just finished The Last Wish. About to go get Sword of Destiny later today.

[bamachine 1231]

You go ahead and take the books, send the book holder my way.

Sabrina mage has the best titties in the series. Too bad she didn't show them.

[Tylerocks 2553]

Wife wanted to watch last night...we got through 2 episodes.

It's good enough...bonus that there are tits upcoming.

Season finale was not compelling. 

 

This series is better as a series of short stories, when the humor and creativity comes out.

 

When it needs to piece together a cohesive narrative, it's obvious the backbone isn't as strong as a game of thrones or LOTR or whatever.  The depth of world building isn't there. 

[bamachine 1231]

From my understanding, this first season was based on a bunch of short stories. It was to introduce us to the characters and the following seasons will be a more linear narrative.

[gecko 1104]

Sticking with it but it’s a disjointed mess. Lots of boobies though.....

[BrazilHorn 6599]

While I can appreciate Yennefer’s breasts the show is called “The Witcher” not “Let’s spend 80% of the show on Yennefer’s stupid backstory that no one cares about”

need more focus on when she was naked and writhing with the Gin symbol on her lower abs...  that was a good scene

[gecko 1104]

Just wrapped it up.....sorry guys, this was a POS even with all the boobies

[Nivek 16928]

Its a show for late evenings when tired and winding down. I agree with Rex that Henry cracks me up with the grunting and “fuck” here and there.

Ill keep watching until I am dead or something better comes out.

[kingkoopa6 8350]

They had this outside the staple center in LA.

I'm enjoying the production values and Cavill, but christ, this show needs a better writer's room. 

[kevwun 15785]

It's entertaining, but it does have problems.  The world building is real bad in terms of the different kingdoms.  No idea what kingdom is where or even what their names are.

[Mileslong 4727]

I agree with most everyone else on here. Watched the whole series and was pretty entertained I guess but had no idea what was happening overall.

It was like a collection of various scenes with a high production value and just stitched together to try and create a story

So, would you say it resembled an expensive RPG?

Yes, for sure.  The Striga/Yennifer transformation episode, there’s a ton a really, really subtle storyline tells dealing with timeline,  but if you blink you will miss them.  I had to rewind a couple of times to get where that episode happened in the story line. The mishmash timeline makes things terribly confusing since you don’t have the ability like in a book to stop and look back two chapters.

[BradInATX 9208]

Just finished it. Agree with all of y'all. It's a guilty pleasure that I'll end up watching every season of, but without ever thinking I'm watching any sort of coherent art form. Kinda like Frontier which is the exact same way.

She was the younger blonde sister in The Last of the Mohicans.

[Sam Lin 3556]

For anyone who's discovering this series via TV, the books are fantastic if you like the fantasy genre, and the games are also very well regarded, though can have a bit of a learning curve. There's nothing wrong with setting the games to the easiest mode and just playing through them for the story. There's a ton of side story and world-building in both the books and the games.

[bamachine 1231]

I fully admit to playing the games on easy mode. Mostly because of playing on a laptop, using keyboard and touchpad. I could hook up my PS3 controller, with some mods, I guess but too much hassle.

[formermav43 4606]

I’m only halfway through the season, but I don’t get all the complaints about the timeline. If you were confused, you just weren’t paying attention. It’s all there.

[krevo 142]

I finished the Witcher and while it was entertaining - I agree with most here.  Story was kind of boring, wasn't well written, and the focus on on Yennefer for so many episodes was kind of annoying.

[Buzzrock 14920]

She was the younger blonde sister in The Last of the Mohicans.

Holy shit. Belongs in the no way that’s the same actor thread.

[Bateshorn 9927]

I finished it last night. I’m looking forward to Season 2.  The Gold Dragon episode was a lot of fun.

[MissingInAction 25068]

8 eps in.. I think.. enjoyable but definitely for people under 20.

[Nice Guy Eddie 13512]

Not thru the season yet, but as mentioned the timelines are intentionally confusing. Bad idea if you want to retain casual viewers.

it’s definitely not meant to be watched by those looking at their phone, surfing surly, or otherwise distracted. Had to rewatch the first four eps  immediately after finishing the fourth, and yeah it was all there. 

[Pato del Muerto 52494]

My only issue with the timelines was understanding that all of the jumps to Geralt were chronological, and how far back it started.  It was easier to tell that yennifers story was chronological. 

[Nivek 16928]

I fucking hate the timeline jumping shows. Best Defense sucked and this technique should have died with it.

Same, had to rewatch

[MissingInAction 25068]

The sword play is very well choreographed. 

[Sejjr 3246]

While the fight choreography was pretty great throughout, the best fight choreography by far was the Blaviken scene from episode 1, which was apparently a full reshoot. I expect Season 2 will employ more of that level of badassery in the choreography.

And despite a lot of negative critic reviews, the show is the most popular thing on Netflix right now, which pretty much makes it the most popular show in the world.

that Blaviken chick was also the hottest in the show.  I think with the background all fleshed out, S2 can be made a lot tighter

[MissingInAction 25068]

I prefer hump Yenn for humping because I like variety. 

[Kel Varnsen 8460]

Netflix put out a nice interactive timeline map

[BHMCruiser 1813]

The show is weird. Some of the stuff is really great, like the Yen transformation scene, the Striga, the fight at Blaviken, and then the Golden Dragon shows up looking like Dragonheart 9: the Search for Spock straight to VHS. Whoever said this was a modern Kevin Sorbo Hercules nailed it. 

Book: Dwarves are short, stocky badasses

Show: Dwarves are just small people who say rude things and do nothing. They're like Triumph the Insult Comic Dog

[elfenix 34238]

haven't played the games haven't read the books followed the timeline just fine.  calanthe dies - data point.  reference that calanthe is a teenage girl and won her first battle - data point.  calanthe at a suitor's ball - data point.  just have to put your phone down and watch.
