Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHenry Cavill's training for the role consisted of extensive sword-training (besides the rigorous bodybuilding required to prepare his physique for the camera). He said, "I spent all of my free time, and when I wasn't on set, with a sword in my hand. It was getting used to the weight of the sword, using it day in and day out. I had three swords where I lived, and four at work. And it was just non-stop practice, practice, practice."
- GoofsAt various instances, the incorrect sword type is used by Geralt. Geralt carries two swords: the dark-hilted sword with Renfri's broach on the crossguard is made of steel while the white-hilted sword is coated in silver. It is established that only silver works against monsters, especially for ensuring a killing blow. This straight-forward rule is not followed in various episodes of the series despite being mentioned in the first episode (and in latter episodes as well).
Featured review
I see why Henry Cavill left
What can I say... Seasons 1 & 2 were excellent.
Solid writing with enough following to the source material.
Really good cast and acting.
Topped with some decent special effects and set design resulted in a very enjoyable dark fantasy adventure.
Then, along came season 3.
Oh dear... oh dear oh dear oh dear.
It feels as if they're trying to achieve the same as the first two seasons but with half the budget and deplorable writing.
Every scene feels cheapened and like a soap opera.
What on earth happened?
No wonder Henry Cavill left. This is nowhere near the caliber if the first two seasons and an epic disappointment.
The forth season will undoubtedly be doomed to failuref this is anything to go by.
Seasons 1 & 2 = 8/10 Season 3 = 5/10.
