The Witcher
The Witcher follows the adventures of Geralt, a mutated monster hunter, struggling to find his place in a world. 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. A perfect show for all fantasy fans with a great mix of monsters, sorcery and war. Great action scenes throughout and even some laughs from my favourite character Jaskier the bard!

The Striga episode was
my favourite with a great mix of fantasy, mystery and horror. The
action sequences were some of the best so far!
