The Witcher Season 3 Volume 1 review: An aggressive goodbye to Henry Cavill in a season full of thrills and kills

Geralt of Rivia stands in front of a portal

Season 2 saw the titular Witcher embrace his role of old da, leaning heavily on the teachings of his mentor, Vesemir. By the end of the season, Geralt had grown into a papa bear, learning that he could trust no one to keep Ciri safe, particularly Djinn-bound love interests and sorceresses. Season 3 continues these themes with a healthy dose of division, deceit and war, but our little family of three sticks by its motto of "never lost, always found"—even when portals are transporting you god only knows where.

The majority of the Continent's key players are revealed throughout Witcher season 3 and we're treated to a range of new and familiar locations. Aretuza and Redania are well-trodden places after three seasons, but we also get to see the hustle and bustle of Gors Velen, an area in the north that looks like it could be close to Mahakam, an ancient elven site called Shaerrawedd—it's all go as Ciri seeks refuge from those that hunt her.
