The Witcher season 3 part 1 review: Netflix wields an unbalanced blade

(L to R) Henry Cavill as Geralt, Freya Allan as Ciri and Anya Chalotra as Yennefer in key art for The Witcher

The Witcher season 3 is here, but it's not all here. Yes, Netflix is pulling another split-season release, with five episodes in The Witcher season 3 part 1 and three coming in July with part 2.

I had a chance to watch The Witcher season 3 part 1 early, including all five episodes that are part of the season. Yes, you get five episodes now (released June 29th), and you'll wait until the end of July for the next three. It's the same thing Netflix did for Stranger Things, down to the lop-sided breakdown of the big first half and smaller back-half.
