      Audience Reviews for The Witcher: Season 1

      • 2d ago

        Sorry, but this is not the Witcher from the books or the games. Why did someone with such a warped mind have to take it on? I ask the creators to create their own stories and not destroy the gems, please!

      • 2d ago

        Great!! The best one must be Geralt of Rivia. Every time I come across his scene, I can't stop watching. So satisfying, so good and learned so much about his composure. The way the film is made is also very special, I understand more about the world of The Witcher as well as the important characters in this part. This film so great!!

      • 6d ago

        In terms of the number of mistakes and illogical situations, only the new Lord of the Rings turned out to be better.

      • Nov 21, 2023

        This season was fairly good except for titanic casting errors. It also began to stray from the source material towards the end.

      • Nov 12, 2023

        It was well written and adapted from the source material the actors were good the directing was good

      • Nov 02, 2023

        Pretty decent, if the following season manage to deliver it'll be good. (I already know they don't)

      • Oct 23, 2023

        Really strong performance from HC. Seems pretty accurate to lore so far.

      • Oct 11, 2023

        I ADORE this season of the Witcher. I dare say it was nearly perfect. If only it had stayed like this.

      • Oct 08, 2023

        When the critics dislike it, it's usually good. Meanwhile the critics like s2 when it is a disgrace to the source material

      • Oct 04, 2023

        The first season was actually pretty good. Having read the books and played the games, it was easier for me to understand what was going on. For someone who doesn't have that background knowledge, the structure of this season will likely lead to confusion. The dialog was not great, and it got downright cringey in certain parts. But the overall feel of the show this season is pretty solid. Henry Cavill is absolutely perfect for the role. His love of the character shows in his portrayal.
