Despite having produced shows such as A Series of Unfortunate Events and The Dark Crystal, The Witcher might just be Netflix's most elaborate niche project in recent memory.

The Witcher comes through as a faithful rendition of the novels, with an intriguing mystery at its core and an intensely charismatic performance from Cavill that helps carry the series through its low points.

With the demise of Game of Thrones, The Witcher feels like a natural successor with its royal family intrigue, waves of bloody violence, and sporadic sexuality - plus it has the added bonus of not taking itself overly seriously.

If you're utterly devoted to the world of The Witcher, you'll certainly enjoy the familiar aesthetic and characters, but beyond that, this series is hard to recommend.

Henry Cavill is perfect for the role [of Geralt of Rivia]. He's got the dry humor, the deep raspy voice... and he kicks a lot of ass.

In contrast to its halfhearted approach to exposition, the series finds its footing in the graphic depiction of violence.

Top notch fantasy entertainment - Netflix may very well have their own Game of Thrones. Henry Cavill is fantastic, as are Anya Chalotra & Freya Allan.
