If The Witcher is one of their more prominent productions, how come it looks so amateurishly-made? Are blond wigs really that expensive?

Good, realistic-looking ones that photograph or film well are surprisingly pricey (though on that budget...), especially when you're dealing with long ones that have to move well (where you're frequently going to need to use human hair).

Signed, cosplayer with a serious wig habit.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

At this point it feels like "bad wigs" are an essential component of genre properties alongside techobabble and daddy issues.

Well, it's hard to notice the good ones...

I honestly can't tell if Cavill's wig is good or bad.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I come down firmly on the side of bad. It sometimes poofs up in the back to make him look onion-headed in a way I've not seen on people with actual long hair.

Those, and terrible makeup on the women. Every shot I've seen from The Witcher looks like the Instagram selfie style of makeup.

Also, if I can instantly find the jewelry and accessories a production is using by searching Amazon, they need to do a better job of customization.

To be fair, Geordi LaForge wore an obvious banana clip on his face for a couple of seasons.

If people are interested in documentaries. Netflix has several of the short story docs that are on the Oscar short list for nominations.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Caught up on Dead To Me, Fleabag and This Way Up. Good stuff. Russian Doll is up next.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I bought an iPad before Christmas, and it comes with a free year of Apple TV+. Is there anything on Apple TV+ worth watching yet?
