Netflix’s The Witcher Season 1 Review Roundup — Check Out The Critical Consensus

Netflix‘s much-anticipated The Witcher series is finally here, and the reviews are rolling in. The show has seemingly left many critics divided, though, as review scores are all over the place. We’ve compiled a list of a few critical opinions, so you can see where the show fits within the overarching Witcher universe.

At the time of writing, The Witcher TV show holds a 63% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 54 on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. Many critics say the show is fun but felt coherence and pacing were lacking, leaving The Witcher feeling like an overstuffed jumble of exhilarating and rudimentary fantasy tropes.

Netflix has already confirmed that The Witcher will get a second season, with Cavill reprising his role as Geralt of Rivia. Not much is known about this second season other than Netflix stating, “Geralt’s adventure is only beginning.”

The Witcher Season One, consisting of eight episodes, is streaming now on Netflix.
