Season 3 update: I can't imagine this series without Henry Cavill as the titular character (no shade to Liam Hemsworth who is scheduled to pick up the mantle in season 4). Henry Cavill is not only to be applauded for his presence in the role or in fixing the mental imprint of the character in the minds and imaginations of the fans >sigh< but for his desire to remain faithful to the source material of the series. One can't help but wonder how adrift it will become once he leaves the field. I watched this season with bittersweet nostalgia thinking it may be the end of an era. This series will always be about the interplay of the characters and chemistry is hard to replicate. Otherwise my review remains unchanged from my initial impressions.
I’ve watched 2 seasons of THE WITCHER, now, and I find it a compelling series. You just have to wade through a lot of nudity, sexuality and become chummy with the f-bomb (all unnecessary for anything but the gratuitous building a young audience). I was a little annoyed by the anachronistic vocabulary and ideologies but the story arc, the relationships, the dogged ethic of Witcher and the moral dilemmas and redemptive arc of the main characters won me over. Definitely not for all audiences, but for me, I rate it an 8 (compelling) out of 10. [Fantasy Adventure]
