The Witcher Is An Epic Story
revolving around famed monster hunter, Geralt of Rivia
(Henry Cavill) who lives in the world of The Continent where
humans, elves, witchers, gnomes, and monsters battle to survive and
thrive, where people often prove more dangerous than beasts, and good
and evil is not easily identified! But when destiny hurtles him toward
a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a dangerous secret, the
three must learn to navigate the increasingly volatile Continent
together.

I hope they don't make us wait too long for a second season. It hasn't started yet and 8 episodes already feels like too little.
ReplyDeleteEight episodes is always too little, just when you get into the story, it ends, that is always the case with Last Kingdom too. I don't understand the eight episode format.
DeleteSomething for the fans of the genre!
ReplyDeleteI bet it will be huge in Poland, given that it is your writer.
DeleteYou have me all pumped for this one and I hope that it delivers. With Supernatural ending this season, I'm going to need something to pick me back before I slunk into a serious state of depression. Maybe Henry Cavill will grow on me too. Right now he's just "eh" to me, nothing too special.
ReplyDeleteDon't talk like that about my husband!
DeleteI've watched the first two episodes and am curious about what will happen next.
ReplyDeleteI see most of the audience really loves it, I will watch it a bit later on.
