The Witcher (Netflix series)

[CatoTheElder]

I forget where I read it years ago, but it was "decided" a long time ago in American cinema that a British accent was the default for a "foreign" accent in fantasy and sci-fi.

Makes sense as to why all the characters writen by a guy from Bayonne are English.

Seriously, England isn't the only country with dragons and elves in their mythos. My favorite GOT character was Oberyn Martell for a reason.

This is my main gripe as well. It's well established in the books that once Geralt was awarded the title "of Rivia", he went out his way to learn and speak with a Rivian accent, yet Cavill still speaks the same as everyone else.

Also, why do the Nilfgaardians speak English? If they went out their way to make the Elven tongue non-English they could've done the same for the Black Ones aswell.

Totally agree, but it is what it is.

I don't know if anyone here ever watched the Showtime series "The Borgias" but that was set in Italy and everyone had an English accent.

It's weird, but well established that an English accent is the default "foreign" accent for Americans.

Watched the entire season on Saturday. Once I was able to get a handle on all the terms/setting, I was throughly entertained.

Not sure if it was just me

But I thought the first 7 episodes were awesome, thoroughly enjoyed it. Then the season finale was just a giant turd.

Felt like I was watching a bad action movie from the 80s without much going on with the story. If it was half an episode and things progressed in the second half that's one thing but it just felt like an episode full of nothing

Again, permanent DCM mode must be painful.

This series was awesome. Better than Game Of Thrones, for me. More funbags and fighting, less throne room politics and people muttering to each other in damp looking castles.

Asking for a friend but do they show Cavill’s rooster?

No but he's still hot as freak in it.

Pivotal battle involving the sorceresses of the Brotherhood trying to stop the Nilfgaardian advance. Ciri finally meets Geralt.

Nothing happened.

I'm not at all familiar with the source material and I think the timeline could have been a little less confusing but I still really enjoyed it.  Also I've now got a hunchback fetish so that's nice.

Except the battle wasnt really a battle, it was essentially a few cheesey moments of people using powers, kind of like what you'd see in an 80s action comedy movie.

And ciri meeting Geralt was like a 5 second thing.

The show was awesome, I just wasn't impressed by the last episode

It was a few rogue sorceresses trying desperately to fend off an army of thousands. The Battle of Sodden Hill was a massacre for the mages in the books. I was happy with the adaptation.

As for Ciri meeting Geralt, I'm okay with it. It's not a cliffhanger, but it was a teaser for what's to come.
