The Witcher: Blood Origin

Once again another off the mark series from Netflix. I have long given up my subscription but caught a little of this, at a motel, whilst of on holiday. Well, enough at least to know that I wont be watching more than the first episode. The Witcher: Blood Origin seems more concerned, to me at least, with playing woke politics, rather than with its actual business, which is to be entertaining. A good cast can't save this series from coming across as shallow, motivated by something other than a desire to tell a compelling story. In summary, yes, companies can push woke-ness all they like but…

The only thing holding the "Original" Witcher series together were Jaskier, and Henry Cavill, the only 2 actors that were even remotely well casted, as for the rest, well... <br>Let alone the story, they went kinda off-board with the story as well, for no reason whatsoever.. <br>Yes the games did this too, but that was probably because they wouldn't be too heavy on the narration, which might not have fit so well in a videogame. There is no such excuse for a tv series however.<br> Now, you might think well, surely netflix must've learned at least SOMETHING of all the previous criqitue right?…
