TV: The Witcher (Netflix)

Post by psychobain »

It wasn't perfect, but since i was a huge fan of the games, i liked it better than expected.
Henry Cavill is amazing on it.

I binged this over the past four days.

Season 1 was great. Loved the setting, the acting, the swordplay, the effects work, the story, and especially the music. If you don't like "Toss a Coin to your Witcher," we can't be friends.

Season 2. Fine. Catastrophic change of composers. The fight scenes were weak in comparison to S1. Perhaps more money was spent on effects but they look more generic and flashy (i.e. "look at me!").

I can deal with all the faults as long as they bring back the S1 composers. For the love of God.

Seriously, if they don’t bring back Ostinelli and Belousova to do the season 3 music, I’m gonna have to be out on this show. (I have been re-listenining to the S1 soundtrack.)

Binged this on our long flights to and from Europe. I enjoyed it more than i thought i would. Really like Cavill in this role. His grunting is top notch.

Really struggled with season 2 as well. Mostly boring. Got two episodes left. My wife likes it.

The last episode was the best of the season. They should really focus on less characters. Have the main ones more prominently in every episode.

I was 90% out on this show losing Cavil makes it 100%. The only time I liked the show was the rare monster of the week type episode that focused on him. I didn't really care about the greater story and that became the majority of the show which is fine its just not for me.

If the S1 composers aren't back for season 3, chances are I won't make it through the whole thing unless it starts off very strong.

The only thing good about this show was Cavill saying Fuck.
