    • Trivia
      Henry Cavill's training for the role consisted of extensive sword-training (besides the rigorous bodybuilding required to prepare his physique for the camera). He said, "I spent all of my free time, and when I wasn't on set, with a sword in my hand. It was getting used to the weight of the sword, using it day in and day out. I had three swords where I lived, and four at work. And it was just non-stop practice, practice, practice."

    "Look how they massacred my boy..."
    First season of the series was great and I don't know what has happened but the second season is worse in almost every possible aspect. It feels cheap.

    Only thing that I've enjoyed from the whole second season is the first episode which I have to say was quite brilliant. From that point forwards, The Witcher turns into soap opera merged with some sort of teenage drama series.

    I do not understand why writers decided to almost completely ignore the source material and create their own less-than-mediocre fantasy story.

    So please allow me to quote an iconic line from The Godfather that perfectly captures my feelings: "Look how they massacred my boy..."

    FAQ6

    • Is 'The Witcher' based on the books or the video game?
    • Will the show feature the same kind of content(mostly nudity, profanity. Violence doesn't concern me) as 'Game of Thrones'? Or will it be more tame?
    • Why does Geralt carry only one sword on his back?
