Didn't like The Witcher at all, I thought Cavill played his character so Macho that it seemed more appropriate for a comedy , he kept reminding me of a bulldog in a Warner Brothers cartoon. The opening fight was decent, but it really breaks the immersion for me when the 2,000 lb Spider monster can't figure out a way to hit an unarmed guy that it has pinned underwater for 20 seconds. Then I thought the Sassy Tavern girl was a lame Trope, then I thought the rebellious princess was a lame Trope, then I turned it off. Thinking back on it, it reminded me a lot of Xena: high fantasy with impossibly good looking actors and super schlocky characters and scenarios, but it takes itself so seriously it kills any chance of it being a fun show.

Then I turned the Irishman off once I realized I paid attention to nothing other than how weird their faces looked for 15 minutes.

Then I turned off six underground after 15 minutes when it reminded me that Ryan Reynolds has only started in 3 good movies.

Damn it, Netflix.
