The Witcher - 獵魔士 - Season 1 & 2



The Witcher (獵魔士) is a television series from Netflix. Season one was released December 2019 and the most recent second season was released last week. The series stars Henry Cavill as Geralt of Rivia, Freya Allan as Ciri, and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer of Vengerberg. The series is based on a book series of the same name. The book serious has able been adapted into video games. I has watched season one back in 2019 and 2020. I finished season two in about 4 days.

The Continent as the land is known as is made up of the south and north. This land has humans, elves, mutants, and monsters. Geralt, the main character is a human mutant that has enhanced abilities and works as a freelance monster killer to survive. Ciri is a princess and is on the run after her kingdom is overthrown. Yennefer a quarter elf that has magic powers that they call "chaos". Together they must figure out how to save Ciri from the forces trying to pocess her.

Since GoT, this is best "american" fantasy series that I am watching. I am guessing there a few others that would lay claim to this or say GoT didn't finish great. The fandom has complained that season 2 has move further away from the source material. Season 2 does seem like it had a little more funds to produce it. Looking forward to season 3.
