The Witcher: Blood Origin Review: Too Many New Characters, Not Enough Time
Jan 9, 2023
When it comes to high fantasy these days, almost every streamer and network has its own entry into the genre. Netflix saw success when it came to The Witcher, with Henry Cavill as the titular character, and then went on to green-light the animated film The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and then the miniseries The Witcher: Blood Origin. Like Nightmare of the Wolf, The Witcher: Blood Origin is another prequel story, taking place much earlier in the universe's timeline, detailing the story of the Conjunction of the Spheres and the first Witcher ever to be created about 1200 years prior. Blood Origin is presented with a frame narrative, with Jaskier (Joey Batey) writing the story of the legendary seven warriors central to the series.
