Mixed Bag of Holding: Netflix's The Witcher

Summer Tribe

I can't believe they thought the swordfighting was great, the choreography was just so visibly underdone and the editing couldn't fix it. I would've loved to see NADDPOD get killed in S2 also idk why em thinks there's really any impetus to kill animals in BotW, I didn't find that to be the case at all

AJ

Just watching this episode again cause of this bag. Glad to know that I’m not the only one that got amped at him cutting the crossbow bolt out of the air and they don’t mention it but he actually does it twice in the fight

I had no previous witcher knowledge so it’s relieving to hear that the plot was a little confusing— but I still loved it

Emily

New goal in life: be at Murphy’s level of giving no fucks.

Angelo

I can't get this to play on the app.

I want more naddpod witcher discussions.

Paul Hein

This was such a great mixed bag, please do post full season 1 reactions and hopes for season 2.

For those who have watched the whole show, I died when Brian/Murph was joking about the “two spiders who were siblings and had sex (to make a monster)” 😂😂😂

I wanted to hear Emily's take on this show so bad that I finally moved up from the $5 tier for this.

Dana G

I want that S1 mixed bag too

Dana G

Guys it’s a J. This young new actress as Yenn is great.

Garga Lenoir

Pretty cool show, my only regret as a Triss man is how aggressively bland and boring they made their Triss...

Garga Lenoir

I thought the messed up chronology was kind of fun to puzzle out actually... And they do have such a character, Jaskier, the problem is that Geralt refuse to talk to him most of the time :D

Micah Edmonds

Really loved this Bag y'all! Would love this as a weekly show if you could clone yourselves and make them work harder.

Y’all should do the thing the McElroys did to get in trolls 2. Just make a podcast called “NADDPOD will die in The Witcher Season 2”.

Came here for this. He was really committed to stabbing himself in the neck

Tig

Yeah I loved it. Geralt being a badass is all I need.

Brian Jones

Guard had 3 vials for the family. Guy only took 2.

Miriam Yifrach

i wish the BoB would do a recap of every episode! just like 5 minutes. I loved the first episode and I'm about to binge the rest but I can tell that there's some stuff i'll be missing overall. Glad there wasnt any spoilers for the series as a whole!

Sin

I really hope they revisit this when they finish the season

They should do a one shot where the band of boobs gets turned into gnomes and have to find a way to turn back.

Jack

Hold up, his dark materials has been great.

Josnak

I have only seen the first two eps but I'm giving it a solid G for "Geralt is very hot and I want to see more" so far! Btw concerning #WhereIsTheSword: he keeps the steel one on his back and the silver sword on Roach, it's how it's described in the books. Keeping my fingers crossed for y'all to be killed next season! <3

Courtney Harris

Henry Cavill was such a great geralt and it actually gets better after episode 1. I love Yennefers back story. Enjoy guys!

Camara Fairweather

I enjoyed the series. Some of the fight scenes were unreal. The striga fight was just as cool as I pictured when I read The Last Wish. And Henry Caville is a perfect Geralt. I felt like some of the effects in later episodes sometimes looked a bit bad and that broke my immersion a bit. But overall, enjoyed it!

AlpacaDeathTrap

I'm a few episodes in and I enjoy it so far. My biggest complaint is the editing. The constant jumping from time lines and characters was overly confusing. The show could also benefit with a fish out of water character so Geralt could explain Witcher things to someone besides Roach.

Emily

I REALLY enjoyed this show! I binged the whole season over two days. My Stregabor, as someone who hasn't played the games or read the books is how confusing the time shifts were. It legit took me quite a few episodes to realise it wasn't linear. I don't see why they couldn't put some dates up.

Watched the whole season and really enjoyed it. The chronology was a bit of a Stregobor for me. Got confused a few times.

Máighréad Shelley

Would love a full season mixed bag, because I felt like this after the first, but once they start to establish more of the world I think it’s my favorite new series in a year with amazing new series!

Frankenjam

To me if nothing else, Henry Cavill is Geralt now in my mind. Dude absolutely nails it.

Frankenjam

Uh.. Not really. The gang aren't that good at remembering things that happened in the game so they're not that accurate with any of the talk from the game lol

John Nguyen

Are there spoilers for Witcher 3?

Dave Johnson

Never seen the show or played the games so this should be fun

Aidan Bee

HELL YEAH! I am only one episode in and I do really like it. This is my formal apology to Henry Cavill, you’re doing a good Geralt. I do still stand by that he looks like an actor that belongs in a herd of similarly named actors (like the Chrises) but the group of Henrys never formed. But he does fit the “chiseled protag” armor just fine

Frankenjam

Guys are you gonna do another mixed bag on after watching the full season? Because even episode 2 is SIGNIFICANTLY better than the first episode. The rest of the series really picks it up too. The first episode in comparison is garbage.

Leith H.

Lord yes

Dean Garcia

Oh hell yeah
