“What about your sword? I heard witchers carry two: a silver blade for monsters and steel for humans…”

“Both are for monsters.”

Directed by Alik Sakhharvo and Charlotte Brändström, the series centers Geralt of Rivia (played by Henry Cavill), Princess Cirilla of Cintra (Freya Allen), Yennefer of Vengerberg (Anya Chalotra) and their adventures through the Continent.  Netflix delivers a great adaption of the book as you learn about the characters’ interactions with each other in non-chronological series of stories.
