PAGE A6, KEIZERTIMES, JANUARY 3, 2020 Netfl ix’s Witcher works best when it begs delving into source material By JORDAN REID For the Keizertimes I have a confession: As much as I like watching fi lms and television, I generally pre- fer a nice book to anything that comes from a silver screen. This means that when Hol- lywood (or in this case, Net- fl ix) inevitably exhausts their already minuscule supply of original ideas and decides to adapt a printed story, the prod- uct is almost always inferior to the original no matter how good it is on its own. The best thing an adaptation could do, in my opinion, is inspire the viewer to peruse the work that inspired it. I have never read The Witcher Saga by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski (or have played any of the criti- cally acclaimed video games based on the series), but the Netfl ix adaptation certainly makes me want to dip my toes into the lore despite some no- ticeable growing pains the fi rst season suffers. One problem affl icting the eight-episode long debut of The Witcher is a lack of acces- sibility. Despite some famil- iar fantasy tropes, I was often bewildered as the show threw unfamiliar terms and concepts at me with little interest in ex- plaining them. Not only this, but the story itself is structured in a bizarre way. The Witch- er focuses on three different characters: Geralt (the titular KT on vacation Submitted Henry Cavill turns in Superman’s cape for the sword of Geralt of Rivia in Netfl ix’s The Witcher. Witcher, a “mutant” monster hunter with magical abilities), Cirilla (a young princess), and Yennefer (a formerly de- formed mage) as they fi nd adventure in their three differ- ent storylines. What the show neglects to tell you until the fourth episode is that these storylines all take place at dif- ferent times, and the characters themselves do not even come together until the fi nal epi- sode. The end result is a mis- match of different occurrences that make the experience feel fairly alienating and sometimes even baffl ing. Despite this, there is still a lot of good to be found in The Witcher. The acting is top notch and the production val- ues are simply stunning. There is swordplay and action galore, all of it thrilling and brutal- ly realistic. This leads me to a very important point: The show is TV-MA and well de- serves the rating. People are dismembered and disembow- eled frequently, and nudity and vulgarity are not uncommon. Do not show this to your kids unless they are particularly ac- customed to adult themes. All in all, I enjoyed The Witcher season 1 quite a bit despite its fl aws. I was enter- tained and look forward not only to season 2, but also to reading the books. As far as I’m concerned, that’s all an adapta- tion needs to do. The Witcher season 1 is now available on Netfl ix.
