Now THIS Is The Witcher
I've been notoriously hard on #TheWitcher over the years. I've had issues with every season and spinoff, and have discussed them at length.

So when I say season 3 is by far the best the show has ever been, know that I mean it. This is what I always hoped the show would be 🔥 pic.twitter.com/02603ACpMs
Even longtime critics of The Witcher seem to be coming around on Season 3, based on the improvements they see.
So Happy Together

It took three seasons of The Witcher to really bring Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri together as a surrogate family – and fans are EATING UP scenes of them enjoying each other’s company.
Henry Cavill Appreciation Post
This might be Henry Cavill’s finest acting moment. There are glimmers of an abandoned child that shine through Geralt’s gruff stoicism, especially in the little head nods, as if he’s trying to convince himself what he’s saying is true. The Witcher really is his best role. pic.twitter.com/UGNPXzIjGq

However….
The best thing about the whole The Witcher series is also Henry Cavill. Have a nice day everyone https://t.co/MZ92ckb0S7

You knew that the man himself was going to be getting another wave of love from the fandom. DC may have cast a new Superman, but Henry Cavill’s Geralt seems to be doing just fine.

Geralt and Yennefer finally letting their passions for each other loose, seems to be the heat The Witcher needed. And fans are seeing GOALS.

Ciri started out as a young damsel in distress, but in The Witcher Season 3, she is queen status for sure.

All this talk about Geralt and Yennefer… Jaskier and Ciri are their own sideshow. And we are here for it.

Move over Pedro Pascal, Henry Cavill is about to be the new FATHER of the TikTokers.
