The Witcher (Netflix)

[Montrovant]

We watched one episode... okay I guess.
The main character actor is not that good of an actor. IMO - he was chosen more for his chiseled good looks than ability to act.
In contrast, the main character actor in Vikings was 10 times better than this guy, and half as good looking.
Equally the actor in The Tutors, Jonathan Myers...again 50 times better.
I think they should have chosen someone more for their acting ability than super good looks.

I had no problem with Cavill as Geralt. The character is pretty reticent.

What do you mean by that? How is it good that you can't get what a character is about?

I think that's due more to the writing than Cavill's acting. Geralt is a character with a number of contradictions and some unclear motivation. A lot of it is interpretation of the reader/viewer. He doesn't say all that much. He often claims not to care about things, but then his actions sometimes belie that. I read the books, and there as well, at times it is unclear just whether or how much Geralt cares about things.

I'm not saying that Cavill is an award winning actor, just that I didn't feel as if he did a bad job with the part.

We are running out of episodes of shows, we may give it another shot...

That's more than I would do lol. If I don't like a show early on, I'll almost never go back to it. There are so many different shows to try, and not enough time to do it.

Too many really.
We have Hulu, Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Although it seems Hulu is what we watch the most.
Use to mainly be Netflix, but they have lost the rights to so many shows in the past couple years they have turned to creating their own - which has been VERY hit and miss.

I've been a fan of the Witcher series since the first Video Game came out 2007. CD Projekt Red brought to life a fantasy world where elves are oppressed and driven into ghettos, where dwarves are a fading race and heroes are often despised. I like the Netflix series and watched it all, but it falls well short of the games for lore.

Just finished binge watching season 2 of The Witcher. I must say I really enjoy this show. Only gripe I have is the constant FUCK FUCK FUCK coming out of dainty mouths. But...I cuss too, so.....

I've been re-watching Season 1 the past couple of weeks. Started Season 2 tonight. I like it.

I started season 2 last night around 830. Realized I was to tired to pay attention so I turned it off. Will probably come back to it this week as I sit in my hotel room every night desperately trying to avoid the poker room in the casino lol

with respect....Netflix which is owned by the Obamas....is a NO NO for me.


No.

More misinformation, The Obamas do not own Netflix. Netflix has a market capitalization of over 270 billion dollars with tens of thousands of shareholders. The largest shareholder is the Vanguard Group which owns 7%. The Obama's have a deal with Netflix to make about half dozen documentaries. They are only one of hundreds of companies and organizations that have deals with Netflix.
