The Witcher is based on a series of fantasy novels from Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, which reached a new level of global popularity thanks to a series of video games. It’s a premise that worked well in book and video game form - and now it’s one of the best series on Netflix. He’s gruff and sarcastic, always down for a fight, impossibly charming, and frequently irresistible. He’s struggling to survive in a world that hates him, stubbornly sticking to a moral code that forces him into dangerous situations. The Netflix adaptation captures the enigmatic hero perfectly.
Ultimately, he’s saved from a barroom brawl thanks to a helpful young woman, who very quickly becomes a romantic partner. In the next scene, Geralt heads to a local pub for information on his next quest, only to be subjected to ridicule and scorn from villagers who are scared of his supernatural nature. The titular witcher - a work-for-hire monster hunter with some helpful superpowers - is first seen in a swamp, nearly killed by a giant spider monster, beaten and almost drowned. You learn nearly everything you need to know about The Witcher hero Geralt (Henry Cavill) a few minutes into the first episode.
