Henry Cavill is just the best Actor for the Witcher role. Nobody can replace him. He is the face of Geralt of Rivia

Can't say I've really enjoyed the show that much, the world just feels completely off from the books and small in size because of course with a show you have to expedite some things. In this case I think they sacrificed on world building and side characters.

Nothing really ever lives up to a book you enjoyed though. If they fuck over my boy Regis i doubt id continue to watch at all.

Just seen it. Cavill does a great job. A few other actors are ok but it feels like the others are just miscast. Something is missing maybe its the lack of books or more polish but it's not as interesting as the first or the second.

Season 3 is bad. Like 3/10 bad. And I’m only giving it a 3 because of Henry.

Story doesn’t make sense and hard to follow, motivations are super confusing. So many bad casting choices. Keira Metz actress does an absolute hack job. Everyone is gay for absolutely no story reason and constantly has botched sex. So many diversity casts, yet not a single Eastern European actor in a Polish folklore story.

Poor Henry, I understand why he left. He’s stoically carrying this hot mess.

as "Diversity" means replacing whites with non-whites, that is a planned feature, not a bug

They have a movie timeline that makes 0 sense. Wild hunt was like a random encounter just trying to pack books worth of history and context into 1 episode is telling. They probably realise Henry cavill is going so they trying to cram a whole season into 1 episode

Michalina Olszańska should have played Yennefer.

Change my mind.

She has the look but probably not the experience as an English speaking actress.

Yennifer was meant for someone like Eva Green she is European (french/Swiss) looks the part and has all the experience you could want.

Triss casting was straight up diversity hire from the bottom of the barrel.

I would of taken any white redhead off the street and big knockers and would of been so much better. Literally any actress that kinda looks like actual triss dye her hair red and you got a show
