While another added: ‘Oh I will say this. The fight scenes in The Witcher make Game Of Thrones fight scenes look like two drunks fighting outside a bar.’
Another critic gushed: ‘The fight choreography is insane. First fight Geralt gets into is beautifully savage. The blend of swordplay and Geralt’s signs is perfection.’
Going on to discuss Henry, one user joked: ‘So… I’ve never really been thirsty for Henry Cavill. I mean, I get he’s handsome but just haven’t. I’ve seen a screener of the first episode of #TheWitcher and, um, I think I’m pregnant.’

While one said of the actors: ‘#TheWitcher’s cast both lead and supporting are beyond exceptional. Amazing cast all around.’
Heaping praise on the adaptation, another user added: ‘Watching the screeners for @witchernetflix. I’ll admit, as a huge fan of the books, I was a little worried, but @LHissrich has done a masterful job telling this story. It also helps that the cast is amazing! And Henry Cavill, just… wow.’
The Witcher centres on protagonist Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher who travels the countryside slaying terrifying beasts.
