Critics Consensus

Though the world of The Witcher at times feels only half-formed, Henry Cavill brings brawny charisma to a series teeming with subversive fantasy elements and dark humor.

Each episode gets stronger as the season progresses, and ultimately satisfies the fantasy itch.

It relies so much on the gameplay of it and what people love about the game, it's like they forgot how to make a TV show.

When the worst thing you can say about a series is that every episode ends up being better than the one that preceded it, that leaves an exciting amount of room to grow.

Rated: B-

The Witcher hits all the notes in a way that few adaptations ever do. It’s both accessible for anyone who has never read the source material, and even more enjoyable to those that have.

Rated: 5/5

The world inhabited by Geralt, Ciri, and Yennefer is as fascinating as their story is compelling.

Has no sense of consistency in its world-building. Everywhere and everyone looks and feels the same. The show kind of reminded me of Hercules: the Legendary Journeys in overall quality and writing.

The answer is okay, but it's different from the book, and as a reader of the book - a slight disappointment.

Particularmente, gostei de tudo nesse temporada, esperava que as próximas fossem tão boas quanto o que de fato foram e eu, como fã, fico muito lisonjeado e contemplado com essa adaptação.

While not perfect, the first season of the Witcher was definitely worth watching. As a fan of the books and games, the inaccuracies were annoying but not derailing. However, I can’t say the same for the following seasons.
