[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8089644, member: 508"] I know I'm coming late to this party, but I don't subscribe to Netflix (a personal choice - don't try to convince me to join as I don't even fork over any cash for cable TV, making do with a digital antenna) and thus never had an opportunity to give this a shot. However, my granddaughter does get Netflix and she's here for a week and a half visit and wanted to watch this series with us (she saw part of episode 1 and thought it was something we'd all enjoy, as it looked sufficiently "D&Dish"), so we gave it a shot, watching all eight episodes over the course of the last two days. Bottom line: it was enjoyable. None of us have ever read any of the books or played (or even heard of) the games, so we went into the show "cold" but it was easy enough to follow. (Although we did pause between episodes to discuss among ourselves what was going on with the various plot-lines; it was my son who first clued us in to the different timelines.) Henry Cavill did a great job, I thought, when so many of his lines were merely grunts of irritation. And I enjoyed Yennifer, although I have to admit after she got the "upgrade" I immediately missed "Piglet" - the beautiful wizard pretty much blended in with all of the other beautiful wizards but the hunchbacked version really stood out. And I thought this looked very much like a homebrewed D&D campaign world, complete with elves, dwarves, color-coded dragons, doppelgangers (well, one in any case), and a bunch of new monsters the DM wanted to try out.
