The Witcher (TV series)
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Andrzej Sapkowski - The Witcher series. Certainly for the modern pop culture influence and video games, but also for how important he was in really popularizing the "fractured fairy tales" approach to fantasy.
- Just remembered another - The Witcher !!! Premium quality entertainment!
- Except, surprisingly, the Witcher. It's originally in Polish and I speak Russian.. still ended up picking the English version as it somehow was better flowing for me (maybe because the show and the game are in English).
- So I love me some Lord of the Rings, The Witcher, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones and similar fantasy stories
- Lots of grit and experience in the Witcher as well.
Cons
- Started off well then, what happened?: The Witcher
- Parent context: If you go check Visa and Mastercard terms, you'll see at least BG3 (not sure about The Witcher) is clearly breaking *their* rules, the fact it's still up doesn't mean it's not at risk. Reply: Do you realize The Witcher an...
- But we know that's the same reason Cavill left the Witcher, because some writers didn't even care to read the books.
- They just have to look at how The Witcher was completely fumbled and *not do that* and it'll be fine.
- Honestly making this show a success should have been a layup with how much free positive publicity the games and source material had already generated. They really had to work to fuck this up

Reply: Do you realize The Witcher and BG3, while not being porn, are still games for adults and they could be their next target, right?

Oh The Witcher too. For me I went from the Witcher to The Last Kingdom or the reverse I can’t remember. But I enjoyed both which usually doesn’t happen when I leave a good show to watch another.
Obviously we have the Witcher by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski.
