The Witcher (2019)

Witcher is taken out from the pages of a book by Andrzej Sapkowski that has already been converted to a much loved video game series.
The story line revolves around 3 main charecters, Firstly Geralt of Rivia who's played by Henry Cavil (yes!Our heartthrob Superman) a mutant, who's world revolves around slaying and gutting monsters a bag of coins. He seems to lack the basic human emotions and the only attachment he appears to have is to his sole companion Roach, his horse. The second charecter is Yennefer of Vengerberg, who's childhood seems rather scarring, being born a hunchback due to being quater elven along with mage blood. Growing up feeling unwanted she trades her fertility for beauty, a brutal cost which leaves her longing for a child, wearing confidence as a shield for her insecurities. Lastly is Princess Ciri who loses her parents at sea, raised by her grandparents who later on die after the the Kingdom of Nilfgaard conquers the Kingdom of Cintra.

Ciri is supposed to be the gift from the law of suprise to Geralt as he had once saved Ciri's father's life.



The fantasy show set in the medieval period is wrapped up in fairytale magic and Bugg eyed monsters. An artistic work done on the sound and visual effects and the charecter's have individually done applaudable performances bringing the show to life. Also because of the vast amount of nudity and violence this show seems to carter to the adult audience.

The best part of the show is that preciding episodes keep getting better which shows so much more scope for growth and keeps the audience excited, on their toes.

The drawback is that from the start, the show demands the audience to get familiar with the many charecters and story line quickly. There are many concepts that aren't clear in the beginning and it was hard to understand that the show was alternating between timelines which might cause a slight rift and disconnection for the audience but if you stick around the confusion is all resolved one at a time and you'll understand when the timelines alter, you're sure to love it. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be pretty disappointing like the fantasy show, Game of thrones.
