Streaming TV: The Witcher (NetFlix)

Confession time: I loved the PC games. And I read the books, though didn't enjoy them quite as much. So when they said they were filming it, based on the novels, I wasn't expecting much. When they said they were casting Henry Cavill, even less, as I'd found him rather wooden in 'Superman'. 

But I was wrong! He was amazing in the role. So it was a sad day when the creators decided he wouldn't continue.

There’s only one thing to say about Henry Cavill leaving: ‘Hmmmmh!’

May I recommend ‘Honest Trailers; The Witcher’ on YouTube?

*He* decided he wouldn't continue. Mostly because the showrunner didn't care about The Witcher and was turning it into the 'everyone but Geralt' show;)

Oh, I love the Honest Trailer series!

Yes, a sad end to a great (at first) adaptation.
