I mean like it or not it's the biggest transition of fantasy to the mainstream since LotR. The comparisons are somewhat inevitable.I binged it all today. It was pretty damn great, even with it's flaws. I can't wait for season 2.
I'm just now reading reviews after finishing the show, and it's ridiculous how many critics are having to compare this show to Game of Thrones. As if GoT is the only other fantasy to exist in all of media, for fuck's sake.
Looking forward to this. The great part about middling reviews with a tv series as opposed to a certain other pop culture event this week is that Witcher can always improve.
