Well, I'm just catching up on this series, which I believe has been out for a few days (weeks?) - still in a festive season purgatory and don't know which way is up - and have to say that I'm loving Cavill as Geralt. Firstly **full disclosure** I know nothing of this character and the world the story resides in. Like most, I have only ever known about the game - and even my knowledge is limited in that regards. So, for the hardcore fans out there, please forgive my ignorance. If that's not enough, well you can fuck right off (joking) :) . Ok, so straight out I'm three episodes deep (not far) and it has held my attention (with a little side trip to Another Life (Netflix)), which means it has passed the '3 eps test', so we're off to a flying start.
Like all good stories, kicking off with a battle is always a good way to get people interested, especially when that battle is with a giant spider-like creature. And that will be it for any *spoilers* in this post. So, apart from his role as Superman...
...the best role I have seen him in that shows his 'bad' side is when he starred in Mission Impossible...
...(that is by far my favourite gif of his) and played the double agent opposite Tom Cruise. This gives you an indication of how well he can play someone who is cold. I'm not sure how close this is to the game and books, but Cavill does a great job at projecting a callus Witcher, who under the surface gives at least a bit of a shit about others...but not much. By the third episode you are introduced to a slew of characters (The Bard is awesome), and several stories that are running parallel, and slightly interwined with that of Geralt. I have to say that I am looking forward to watching further episodes and now have to go and download them as my internet connection sucks. So, happy watching and if you find anything worth watching, drop me a line and let me know.
