Everything is not okay with "The Witcher: Blood Origin" series. What once seemed like it could be Netflix’s answer to Game of Thrones seems to be in serious trouble! After Henry Cavill stepped down from The Witcher, the show received much criticism and backlash. But the makers of the show were pretty confident that expanding the show, sharing more light on the Witcher world and making a prequel would gain the audience's trust. The new universe of the Witcher: Blood origin failed to impress its audience and seems to be going disastrous. With its first two seasons, both The Witcher and the protagonist of the series Geralt of Riva played by Henry Cavill received favorable reviews from critics and viewers. The storyline, dialogues, VFX and the character introductions were praised. But the prequel did not receive the same understanding.
The storyline of the series narrates the story of the first Witcher, the world of magic was created and what happened before the world seperated from monoliths, humans and witches.
The Witcher: Blood Origin is currently the #1 show on Netflix, which indicates that it has some good viewership over the likes of Emily in Paris and Wednesday. No doubt these three series are here to rule and people expect more from them.
