The Witcher season 3, volume 2 review: Henry Cavill deserves a better exit
When Cavill announced he’d be leaving after season three, many people assumed the show would end, too. He was, and is, the perfect person to play the mutant monster hunter; he’s an avowed fan of the novels and games on which the show is based, and he’s got the look, the grunts, and the “Ah, fuck”s down pat. He’s probably a bigger Witcher nerd than most people who watch the show.
So the decision to recast Geralt for season four—Liam Hemsworth will take over the role—was met with confusion at best and derision at worst. Since then, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich and executive producers Steve Gaub and Tomek Baginski have been trying to hype up both the transition and Cavill’s exit.To be clear, the Geralt switch won’t happen until season four; season three was already done by the time Cavill announced he was leaving.
Yes, Geralt gets a big final fight scene, but it feels oddly toothless. The characters he’s fighting are unimportant, and the choreography, while good, isn’t exceptional. And it stands out even more because of the direct parallels it draws to the Blaviken fight from the show’s very first episode, arguably the best in the whole series.Ciri, meanwhile, joins up with the Rats and leans into her darker side while dodging her pursuers.
