Tom, thanks for that heads-up. I'm not on Insta, do you know anywhere else Mike's statement can be read?

On the lighter side, Henry Cavill talks about the swords on The Witcher.
Thanks for that, Toddson.
And thanks Tom, for the links.
I resubbed to Netflix now that there are multiple things I want to watch. Started The Witcher but I feel like I'm missing a lot of back story.
I've seen ads for Teenage Bounty Hunters or something such title that looks ridiculous but also something that might be a bit of a laugh at some point.
My understanding is The Witcher jumps back and forth between multiple timelines without actually telling the audience this, which can cause some confusion or feeling like you've missed something. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet despite hearing good things about it.
Ars Technica had a review of Teenage Bounty Hunters that was pretty positive: [link]
Witcher jumps between a few spots in the timeline -- it becomes clear about mid-season how the threads come together, but it's rough going until then if you don't at least know the characters from the game world and/or novels (and even then, the plot was weird). If you're ok with spoilers, there are guides and charts and graphs out there, or if not, some reassurance that it all makes sense later may (but also may not) help?
It's really good, and has a ton of pretty, and great women characters, if you decide to stick it out.
I'm also enjoying the Witcher fic explosion. But yes, I sort of had to just ride it out and figure it would all come together eventually. Which it did.
And if you like the bard, he's in a band called The Amazing Devil, and I really liked their recent album, The Horror and the Wild.

I wasn't familiar with the Witcherverse before watching the show, but just knowing there were multiple timelines was really helpful.
Huh. I saw that everybody was watching The Witcher a while back but I hadn't gotten around to myself and didn't feel it was a very pressing need but I'm a bit more intrigued now. Interesting.
