In the midst of brutal changes on the continent, Geralt's life is forcefully changed by destiny. His fate is tightly intertwined with two other people. A powerful sorceress and a young princess with a special gift.

The Witcher is base on a series with the same name by the Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski.

An excellent game series is also based on his books.

Is The Witcher good?

The witcher is a top-notch show from Netflix.

I relay hope they keep it alive for many seasons.

Season one was a little confusing with different stories on different timelines, but as soon as I got what was happening it was ok.

Henry Cavill does an excellent job as Geralt, a perfect match. And the show has some of the better sword fighting scenes than I have ever seen on a TV show.

The Witcher is a must watch show on Netflix

The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has a Solid cast, engaging plot and compelling visuals. I love this show. It's dark and grotesque but at the same time not scary or a gorefest.

Most negative reviews online are because they feel like the show has some political agenda or they dislike how it strays from the earlier versions. None of this bothers me. I find it an excellent show.
