Review: If you’ve ever watched YouTube’s The John Campea Show, you’ll be familiar with this saying, “Bring on the filthy.” That pretty much sums up The Witcher in every positive connotation possible. In many ways, this Netflix original series embodies the very best aspects of 1980’s-1990’s “B” movies / tv series such as The Beastmaster (1982) or Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995) which ran for 6 seasons.
Have you watched The Witcher before? What did you think about the series its direction, cast, the story, cinematography, soundtrack and overall themes? Have you read the books, I have not. Does it match-up well? Love to hear your take on that, if you have.

While ladies await their fix of Henry Cavill’s Geralt of Rivia (aka The Witcher), give me more of Freya Allan’s Yennefer!
