I was just being facecious. :)

Wow. Just wow. That seems like a group that completely gets it.

Considering that one of the main points of the Witcher Universe is that "good" and "bad" do not exist and that most decisions are morally gray - I can't wait to see this series.

It is going to be amazing to watch Geralt make friends with the striga, ride off on a Unicorn (but not a white unicorn 'cause that's racist, but an LBGTQFZWY rainbow Unicorn) and then is welcomed with open arms by Count Falwick and Sir Tailles in Ellander because all the people are accepting of Witchers.

He's good, that would have been interesting. I liked Henry Cavill in The Tudors series as Charles Brandon, duke and friend of Henry the 8th.

I know some people like Cavill but I'm soooooo disappointed by this choice. I've been so excited about this series since it was announced and now I'm not going to bother to watch it. There were so many great options for this role. Cavill just doesn't look the part ... more like a football quarterback ! LOL. What a pity.

I don't feel that strongly about it, but j do generally agree.

Way too old. Sure, he looks like Geralt... after taking a few too many potions.

Christian Bale.

Regardless of the actor (I don't have any strong feeling either way), I just hope that it'll eventually come to DVD and/or Blu-Ray. I'm not much into streaming.

I think that Cavill can pull this one. Superman aside, he's a decent actor. The question is who is doing the screenplay.

Ugh, the beard in that second headshot... I love Witcher 3, but I also hate how it made everyone see Geralt as a buff grandpa. I guess CDPR wanted him to look older so he'd be a more believable father figure to Ciri - but considering witchers age slower, the sudden change makes no sense. And in the books Geralt specifically says he hates having a beard.</rant>

(To be fair, for a while I thought Anson Mount would be a good fit, and that was totally based on the W3 look...)

It's going to be difficult to please all Witcher fans in any case.

You'll have the novel fans displeased with broken "canon". You'll have fans of the games displeased that actors have been chosen who don't look like or sound like the games (or stray from the game storyline). You'll have viewers who don't like the actor(s) personally.

And even if you happen to win them all over, a miniseries is simply too short to satisfy the hunger you create, not to mention the difficulty of providing enough backstory/depth to satisfy both existing fans and the new initiates to the Witcher universe.

Suppose for a moment if the creators of Game of Thrones was released as an 8-episode miniseries format...

Personally...i just want a good Witcher TV series.
