© NetflixNetflix adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski & # 39; s Witch A series of legends make it today, and critics have already made their decision on what many expect as the next Game of Thrones.
Starring Henry Cavill as Geralt's runner-up, the series is mostly made up of new stories and is not based directly on popular books or video games (though some of the visual effects of the nail are visible in both). That is the weight behind the project that has already been renewed for the second season – but for the first time good?
Yes, it does The Verge:
Witch it can easily break out wrong. It's not hard to misinterpret what really makes the series interesting, but adapting to TV does. Witch it's funny, intense, and unpleasant, and suggests those divisive feelings almost completely. Yes, starring Henry Cavill in a big white wig, but he'll forget all about that as soon as he starts talking.
GQ Magazine valid:
I started Witch not sure. Being a great sports lover, the pilot left me wondering if this season could stick to this adventurous environment. By the end of episode five, it gets its base and its identity – camp, pulpy, not all that serious and determined not to. Thrones. Is he good as a sport? No, of course not, but there are a few things. Anyway, I'm still waiting to see if its last three episodes are planned.
State gave a series of four out of five stars, saying:
Thanks to a trio of drag-and-drop video games, many will already be familiar with much of The Witcher, providing the much-needed leg up. It's for someone who doesn't know who can end up barking early – almost somewhere between two girls who turn into eels and the appearance of a hedgehog knight. But giving in would be a refusal of actual treatment. As controversial as Geralt's beast is, there is a treasure reserved for those who have patience, too WitchIt's a battle worth seeing until the end.
GamesRadar feels that the opening of the series fails to capture the magic of Game of Thrones, but it's still worth watching:
The first episode of The Witcher, then, is a mixed bag. It gets to call it "The Next Game of Thrones", but it's lacking. Cavill & # 39; s Geralt failed to make a lasting impression, while the dreadful questions asked are not as engaging now. However, with bloody battles, and the promise of a popular tour, I'm excited to see where this goes.
© NetflixMiscellaneous it seems to think that those who do not already have any investment in the Witcher series would struggle to see the complaint:
As a "Witcher" veteran but not a student, I felt the atmosphere was sometimes too broad (in its stand for one hero) and too young. Unlike “Thrones,” it resists image or symbolic reading, at least in the beginning, and it is strictly about what it is about – magic and myth. That in itself is a mistake rather than a design, but it suggests that the attraction of this series may be limited to those who are already under its spell.
Keeper a little too enthusiastic, it seems you have a lot of problems with haircuts:
My promise, made when The Witcher and I have to share, is that I will commit myself to becoming wealthy and strong enough to realize my dream of meaningless swords when everyone has a short back and sides. I can no longer tolerate the sight of players walking around unhappily wigs, which is too high for any hero, supernatural or otherwise, and make everyone look like the F-Fabio presiding over Lamda before coming out of undefined shame.
The Independent was the hardest of the series:
Like Game of Thrones either Outlander, Witch uses two masters – an audience that transfers authenticity from some mysterious TV shows, and an audience that is already firmly committed to Witch hate. The last group – as we can see star Wars fans – it is a very sensitive haven of art, and in passing it to them, Witch is a crude history of timber in a developing world to the point of destruction. The experience is not the same as playing a video game, where death, deviation and restart leave you unsure of your exact position in the narrative. It's sad, because Witch, and House Netflix, their offering has no modicum of fun.
We fall into Entertainment Weekly to deliver a very painful update, however:
This is the first TV show I've ever seen that I can do better with commercial breaks. The goofy syndified fantasy of Steryear was supposed to have brisk speed, creating every 12 minutes the cliffhanger made the action. Witch totally embraces the make-up of the infamous Blank Check TV movie. At the end of the series premiere, someone tells Allen & # 39; s Ciri princess that Geralt is her destiny. In Episode 5, people continue to tell him that Geralt is his destiny. I think they will meet in the final of the season. Alas, my future is to never look at this paradox again.
