Review of Four Marks

The Witcher: Four Marks (2019)
Season 1, Episode 2
7/10
Better, More Character Focused, Although Still Tonally Confused.
20 December 2019
I enjoyed this instalment quite a bit, the script focused much less on battles with nothing at stake and more on our characters, making us care for them so when the next battle or death does come round we are invested and effected. Yennefer and Tissaia were the highlight for me here. MyAnna Buring is delightfully hatable and Anya Chalotra brings a great and much needed humanity to the show. Unfortunately we don't get any of that incredible fight choreography this episode and we're still a little confused as to wether the show wants to commit to being gritty or light-hearted, the two don't mix. I'd also like to mention how fantastic the makeup is in this episode, really great stuff, reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth. Overall I'm going to give "Four Marks" a 7.9/10
