If you've played The Witcher series before, or you're looking forward to the upcoming Nintendo Switch port of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, yet still want more Witcher content, Netflix is happy to oblige. The streaming service has just given fans a first look at some photos from their exclusive TV series, featuring Henry Cavill as its main character, Geralt. We also get to see closeups of Ciri and Yennefer, played by Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra, respectively. Netflix's The Witcher is slated to release later this year, with all eight episodes being available to watch when it premieres.

I think that they should make Cavill's face a bit older, this photo shows handsome young man not a well-aged monster hunter but everything relies on acting. Despite that I'm looking forward to watch this show, I love the game and the books.

Interesting to see how this turns out, especially the receptions coming from W3 fans and oerall. Personally I'm a bit disgusted, they shit on the game's fans but still copied Witcher 3's armor. Said it was heavily referenced to the books but lo and behold we got many contradictions. Looks like they want to make their own thing.

- Broady built Geralt not skinny.
- Average to bad actor Henry trying to portrait Geralt in the books > disaster
- Young Yen? Yes the witches use their magic to stay young but not that innocent young. They are used to sleeping around, looking sexy to bewitch people, akin to dryads in their notoriety. Well this only works unless we got real life pedo lovers on the cast meeting.
- Indian Ciri. Ciri's bloodline is from the Cintrian elder's blood elves and a Nilfgaardian prince, go figure from that.Unless they make the whole Nilfgaardian PoCs this is some fucking nonsense.

We already got a set image though on the first look of Commander Ballsack of Nilfgaardian army.

This thing ooze 'wokeness' all around, added up with the writer as an official SJW troll. Let see how it goes.

This looks really shitty, but I don't think that we will ever see that guy wearing this armor in the series, he looks more like an extra. If you got to spend money on thousands excellent quality armors and show them for one minute, somewhere in the background then it is good idea to make something that ugly and edit this in postproduction .

He's an extra, I just love the commander part lol.

Also, I'm mistaken. Ciri is not portayed by a PoC, she's Freya Allan, and now everything looks fucking complicated. They are already committed to skip all the rape and bandits horde arc when Ciri was a child (if it goes by the book's timeline, in which the show follows), leading to Ciri being a psychopath in the books. She's a teenager now in the timeline. How convenient.

Now expect everything to being possibly changed if it fits their agendas. We already got misplaced Polish beauty Yennefer with an Indian one. Still beautiful I know but looks wrong, not sexy at all when this is one of thing people are expected to sexualize. Witches.

I read all the books, even the non canon short story from the author itself. Though I admit I don't remember everything, at least I got the gist of the characters portrayed in the books. This is some low effort troll post right here.

Also good fucking luck on shitting the fans of the only material that got it popular in the first place. I'm sure the show could still be successful - only because the books material are brilliant, but we'll see.

Geralt Jr.?

But I couldn't care less about the Netflix edition, games and the books version. I never played and read them. Only know it from the reviews and gameplay videos when they were demonstratin HairWorks.
