Review: Toss a coin to ‘The Witcher’, it's a valley of plenty

A well-done dark fantasy is pretty rare, so sit back and appreciate this delicious, juicy cut of prime rib.

Going into this dark fantasy series knowing next to nothing about the video games or the books upon which they are based, I almost gave up on it after the very first episode.

The pacing seemed off despite the abundance of action and gore, the many branches of its plot seemed to be growing out of different trees, and Henry “Man of Steel” Cavill’s dour turn as the titular monster hunter was a trifle off-putting initially.
