The second episode introduces Yennefer, a mage-in-training who stumbles upon her powers by accident. The first episode really acts as a scene-setter, introducing our core cast of characters and splitting the screen-time between Ciri, a princess in a neighbouring city on the brink of war, with Geralt, as he’s given a new bounty. Vilified by human-kind, these white-haired, emotionless Witchers spend their time hunting creatures and getting paid to do so. While it’s unlikely to dethrone some of the better fantasy offerings sitting at the top of the pedestal right now, the first season does enough to intrigue and keep things interesting for the already green-lit second season.įor those unaware, the story revolves around a monster hunter named Geralt. In a way it does, delivering a satisfying and well written slice of high-fantasy, with enough magic, monsters and sword-fighting included to keep things rooted in danger and tension. When Netflix announced they’d be adapting the books and turning them into an expansive fantasy series of the same name, I remained cautiously optimistic that the streaming giants could pull off the unthinkable and rekindle the joy I had playing through The Witcher. Since then I’ve dabbled a little with the books but admittedly my knowledge expands only as far as the games. That’s to say nothing of the engrossing storyline and expansive lore that made the world come alive like no other roleplaying game had. I poured an ungodly amount of time into that game, obsessively collecting all the cards and slaying every monster on the exhaustive list of side missions.
