    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Henry 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."
    • Goofs
      At 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).

    I see why HC quit

    Don't usually write reviews but this 3rd season was so bad. Boring, weak soap opera, forcing narrative, been there done that garbage. The future is not bright for this show. The only bright spot was the monsters and they were few and far between.

    It started as if it was going to be a great season, maybe one of the best scenes in the series but went stale instantly. Wayyyy to talky, very little action. The story was all over the place and the recaps were the only value. You can probably watch the recaps and be done with it. I'm not sure how episode 7 made it to the screen. And out of nowhere the narrative hits the bard... cmon when will this nonsense end.

    Watch and you'll probably feel like you've seen everything in this season before in multiple shows and movies. Very dissatisfying and disappointing.

    FAQ22

    • How many seasons does The Witcher have?Powered by Alexa
    • Will the show feature the same kind of content(mostly nudity, profanity. Violence doesn't concern me) as 'Game of Thrones'? Or will it be more tame?
    • Why does Geralt carry only one sword on his back?
    • Will the show have an actual theme song, or just music (with no singing) ?
