I'll definitely post photos from the event later, but my phone is pretty much dead. Whatever, no spoilers, #TheWitcher impressions from episode 1. The first 5-10 minutes were like, "I don't know what he's saying..." but he quickly finds his voice and is amazing by the end. Everyone, Geralt Gets Hard December 4, 2019
The Witcher was really good. December 4, 2019 Absolutely positive, then. This sounds like an important vision for Netflix - it's the most important thing to have before the Christmas holidays. And while Game of Thrones seems a bit easy as a point of comparison, it's certainly the reason shows like this and Amazon's upcoming Lord of the Rings adaptation exist. In terms of budget, the streaming service and networks want to spend money to create a huge, fantastic hit, and the potential payoff is huge, Game of Thrones is becoming the most popular show on HBO right now. day.
