Such a long wait but well worth it. Engaging, exciting, and dark, The Witcher is appealing to many audiences (seriously, you would not believe the people I’m hearing talking about this one). From a series of books and a game that many are familiar with I thought there might be a chance that to those of us less familiar it might not be as interesting as I hoped. But I needn’t have worried.

The Witcher Review Conclusion
Gonna need that next season real soon Netflix! – Loved the visuals, the darkness, the outfits, and the story. As I haven’t played the game or read the books I had few expectations based on this. With monsters and magic, this eight-part series had me engrossed from the beginning. There were, however, a couple of little niggles. Firstly, those timelines got a bit confusing with no real indicator that it was different to what had come before other than an alive person who was pretty darn dead just a few minutes previously. And secondly, there was definitely not enough episodes. Gonna need more, please.
