 Howdy how's it going? My name's Davy Chappie and I just finished watching The Witcher Netflix show And I thought you know what people are probably dying to know my opinion about this So this is a review channel now get used to it If you haven't seen The Witcher yet Don't worry too much because this is going to be a mostly spoiler free review But be aware that I do consider the first episode of a show to be fair game to talk about at length because the first episode is supposed To be the introduction to the themes of the show and dancing around it is more difficult than it's worth and real quick I'd like to give a shout out to my new patrons this month Eric F cream tiefling Steve already are gonna send it shout out long Thank you so much for pledging your money to me if you pledge enough money You might be able to find a Davy Chappie asmr, but with that out of the way Let's talk about the story of The Witcher So the story is pretty simple it follows a child princess on the run from a hostile nation after a kingdom is sacked a Young girl from an awful upbringing rising to become the most powerful sorceress and Geralt of Rivia a man who's to No one should fuck with and yet everybody does I've never played the games or read the books So I don't know if this is a faithful adaptation or not But having just finished the last episode and keeping it fresh in my mind The way that the show chooses to follow the three main characters is really creative and while I won't spoil it for anybody here It made keeping track of things that happened a lot more fun than just oh, hey Remember that cool scene come to think of it The Witcher reminds me a lot of the new Mandalorian show that came out if you've seen that because it follows the same style of Storytelling faceless sexy man comes into town all the ladies wish that their name was town and faceless sexy man proceeds to solve Whatever monster problem they're having while also very briefly mentioning it troubled past but mostly just staring into the middle distance That's not bad by any means. I love spaghetti westerns even if the show is a lot more renaissance and a lot less ravioli I just think that it's very interesting that they came out so close to each other while also using similar methods of delivering cool Scenes and speaking of cool scenes. Holy hell. Why is every scene so encapsulating to watch every time Geralt is on screen? I know something cool if not overtly action. He is gonna happen They just frame the characters so well and despite the big thing that they do to frame the plot being a Historically complicated gimmick to pull off it never gets so convoluted that it's impossible to follow All right, maybe the mage politics his balls, but that's like two minutes of the show So who cares so really the majority of the entertainment just comes from watching Geralt go Mmm at things and then get into an insanely well choreographed fight going on to the characters Like I said before in this show You've got the princess the witcher and the sorceress and they make up the majority of the cast with each storyline being Allotted one side character to act as a foil for the main one and then there are dozens of ancillary characters Just dancing around in the background to remind you what the plot of each episode is in terms of character development Everybody goes through a pretty believable arc that sets them up pretty nicely for the next season And when it comes to the actors themselves Right the cast is brilliant everybody is clearly giving it their all the chemistry between the characters is crushingly believable And even the pick for dandelion turned out to be a ridiculously fitting choice for the part I'm taken away by the amount of power everyone brought to the table props to the casting director Weirdly though when it comes to villains nobody really has one sure There's a main antagonistic force in each episode and it can be argued that a main villain does start to show up Near the end of the series but for the majority of the show It's really just a man versus world story tackled in three different ways along three different plot lines This means that all of the focus is spent on the characters and how they face the hurdles of the challenges that they're faced with And it never really stops being entertaining to watch and speaking of watching a holy fuck this show smacks like it smacks Everybody the costuming is fantastic. The landscaping is great The action is some of the best choreographed fights I've seen since my incorrect memory of Star Wars episode 8 fight scene and considering This is a first season Netflix show the special effects are dope The monsters can be a little silly with how much CG goes into them But I do have to commend the designers because whenever a monster has to give off an expression other than good old monster constipation I can easily tell how they're feeling of the visuals My only really big orc is that they seem to have rehired the dragon from Merlin and that guy still looks like he's been smoking more than Just peasants but besides that every inch of the show is just oozing power and charm And you can bet your sweet looty ass that I'ma be adding jazz gear's clothing collection to my wardrobe Overall watching the Witcher was like eating a cheesecake. It's delicious. It's moist. It's creamy. It's slowing down my work ethic I know it's not good to eat four slices at once, but by golly. This cheesecake is jacked and I want it I definitely recommend this show to any fantasy enthusiast looking for a new Lord of the Rings as well as anybody Who's just interested in a lone ranger style adventure series with all that said I am giving the Witcher a six out of ten the show is brilliant and very few things will top it But that'll about do it I hope you enjoyed this video leave a like comment subscribe Bring the bell toss a coin to your Witcher and maybe support me on patreon so that I can afford to cover of that song in the future But yeah, dabby out
