'The Witcher' season 3 is now released on Netflix
The Witcher’s
farewell season for Henry Cavill is here, and critics are gushing over the
Geralt of Rivia’s swashbuckling performance.
Writing in The
Guardian, Jack Seale swooned over the White Wolf’s last outing, “Can the
show cope without Henry Cavill? It will be painful, but The Witcher has
enough going on for us to imagine life without him.”
The Verge’s Andrew Webster wrote, “More importantly, the show is fun
again, where the big narrative beats don’t get in the way of all the blood
and jokes…This lets the show bring its focus back to the main cast — and
this time, it does right by those characters.”
While Bradley Russell of GamesRadar reviewed, “If it’s wrong to
want an entire season of Geralt, Yen, and Ciri roaming around the Continent,
I don’t want to be right. Cavill’s sizzling chemistry with Anya Chalotra’s
Yennefer is almost worth the price of admission alone, while the burgeoning
relationship he strikes up with an ever-improving Freya Allan as Ciri is,
tragically, going to be cut down before it really blossoms.”
Meanwhile,
Ed Power criticizes the series' complex storytelling in the review in The
Telegraph.
“Geralt is positively grumpy as he takes his
bows…Perhaps he is struggling to keep pace with a story that is tricky to
follow even by the standards of the genre…The Witcher struggles once more to
tell a coherent story – even the subplots have subplots. Maybe Cavill is
leaving at the right time.”
