‘The Witcher’ Review: Netflix’s New Series Brings Intimacy To Epic Fantasy

For those weary of diving into The Witcher with no familiarity of Andrzej Sapkowski’s book series or the numerous video games, don’t stress, because Lauren Schmidt Hissrich’s new series starring Henry Cavill succeeds in immersing newcomers into this fantastical world thanks to its surprising intimacy amidst an epic backdrop.
The first five episodes of The Witcher alone already exhibit much promise for this fantasy series thanks to the show’s expert world-building and surprising intimacy amidst the epic backdrop. Now that Netflix has confirmed that season 2 is on the way along with the amount of source material available at their disposal, The Witcher is shaping up to be one of the most-promising new fantasy series for those looking to get their fix after Game of Thrones.
