Let’s get this out of the way up front, and for some sections of the audience, you’re not going to like this, but: the Henry Cavill-less Witcher season 4 is the best season of the show yet. It’s more focused, more fun, and a fantastic setup for the end of the series in season 5.
To take a step back, a lot of this probably depends on what you want out of The Witcher… And that’s even more complicated than usual when it comes to the fantasy franchise. There are fans of the books, fans of the video games, fans of the Netflix show, and spinoffs… And definitely fans of Cavill – the latter likely fuming over his absence from season 4, replaced in the role of Geralt of Rivia by actor Liam Hemsworth.
