Wow! Who knew that A) video game media could actually be good and B) that video game fans, when given something decent, could elevate a TV show to new heights!
Maybe people will start taking video games and their adjacent media a little more seriously!
(Although technically, the book came before the video games and the show).
So ‘The Witcher’ is out on Netflix.
There was a lot of anticipation for this series, both positive and negative. People praised the story writing and Cavill’s acting.
As for the negative, some were p****d off that white characters were cast with people of color.
But screw those people.
All that mattered was one thing: that The Witcher was good.
And considering how video game movies/TV have been treated in the past, the odds were against the little multi-million series that could.
And so, the day arrived. ‘The Witcher’ was released, and the consensus was…
That it was good!
Yes, video game fans and non-fans alike love this show, as it is fun, it’s violent and best of all, it’s like the game. Sure, it’s a little confusing, but so long as you pay attention, you fall in love with it.
As for ratings…
The show has raised to the lofty heights of “highest-rated show on Netflix”.
That’s right, with an average of 8.9, it’s even managed to beat out Stranger Things (which has an 8.8).
Wow-ee! What an accomplishment!
