The Witcher TV Thread

[David76]

I watched two of the latest season and gave up. It's barely about the Witcher, its more like badly written fanfiction loosely set in the same universe.

Watching it you can see why Henry Cavill felt the need to quit, even though he apparently loves the character and the books. The writing is just that awful.

Not keeping Cavill is going to finish off the series which is disappointing, after S1 it had a lot of promise

Fans have not been kind to the latest season of The Witcher and now there's been a response ⁠
⁠
In an interview with Polish newspaper Wyborcza, executive producer Tomasz 'Tomek' Bagiński offered an explanation which might not go down too well with the show's American audience.⁠
⁠
"When a series is made for a huge mass of viewers, with different experiences, from different parts of the world, and a large part of them are Americans, these simplifications not only make sense, they are necessary," Bagiński said. "It's painful for us, and for me too, but the higher level of nuance and complexity will have a smaller range, it won't reach people. Sometimes it may go too far, but we have to make these decisions and accept them."⁠
⁠
The Witcher's fourth season (starring Liam Hemsworth) is in development, but it's not currently known when it's going to release.

First look at Season 4. I can't un-see Cavill but here's hoping Hemsworth pulls it off.

Is this still a thing? I haven't watched it past S1.

I'm not sure about Liam, but I thought the first episode of S4 was OK, better than most of the last season as a piece of TV.
