Review by erik-687

Few show have been able to capture the essence of the original materials like the Witcher. The Witcher game is one of my all time favorites and this show has all the key elements from the game. The cities, the combat, the travelling and like in the game and the book, Gerald is not a superhero - he is just a bystander to all the forces moving around him.

I cannot believe how Kaer Morhen and Novigrad are close to my memories of the game and, it's not just the setting that has been captured but the story of these places is there as well.

The sword fighting is one of the best I've seen on screen, the choreography of the fights has more depth than other shows thanks to Cavill's training.
