The Witcher

2002 · 1 season

A moody, low-budget fantasy that feels like a somber folk tale, with a stoic hero wandering a grim, morally murky world.

Overview: "Later it was said that the man came from the north from the Powroznicza gate. He walked on foot, and led his horse, which was laden, by the bridle. It was late afternoon and the stalls of the ropemakers and saddlers were already closed, and the street was empty. It was warm, and the man was wearing a black cloak thrown over his shoulders. He was drawing attention." - So begins the short story "The Witcher" by Andrzej Sapkowski, which gave rise to a seven-volume series.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, earnest and tense. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Identity, survival, morality, fate
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
