The Witcher is an American fantasy drama web television series created by Lauren Schmidt Hissrich for Netflix. It is based on the book series of the same name by Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski. The Witcher follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a solitary monster hunter, who struggles to find his place in a world where people often prove more wicked than monsters and beasts. But when destiny hurtles him toward a powerful sorceress, and a young princess with a special gift, the three must learn to navigate independently the increasingly volatile Continent.Written by

To correctly perform the sword-fighting scenes and because of the fact that he did not use any stunt doubles for any action scenes, Henry Cavill went through special gym training to prepare his body for the level of stunt work needed. He strengthened his posterior chain (group of muscles consisting of hamstrings, glutes and back muscles) to help create Geralt's pirouette sword-fighting technique where he spins around a lot. He developed his abs and obliques to allow for explosive movement. He built up his shoulder muscles to allow for more muscular strength and control while handling a heavy sword. He bulked up his biceps and forearms to help with endurance during the sword fighting scenes as well as the horse-riding scenes. See more »
I've read books, I'm a fan of video games (especially the 3rd part). So, after binge-watching the entire season 1, I'm really sad to admit that the Witcher TV series is a major disappointment. The root cause of most problems with the series is, without a doubt, bad writing. It is because of poor writing that fantasy series with a great storyline, huge fanbase and developed universe still feels like a B- grade TV production. No matter how much money Netflix has poured into the Witcher series, the lack of character building, the plot-jumping, the laughably unrealistic dialogues - all of it makes it nearly impossible to enjoy the show.
