The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
Strangely bad TV show
It is bizarre how bad this is. The Witcher is a guilty pleasure for me, an entertaining fantasy with good acting, solid enough script and high production values. Blood Origins is like if the cast of Hollyoaks took acid and went on an adventure in Skyrim. I love Michelle Yeoh and Lenny Henry very much and it is almost physically painful to see them subjected to such humiliation. Representation of minority charachters is ok even though the justification for their existence is magic, which is a bit weird. In the main, the actors aren't terrible but some of them are very much phoning it in. The male lead. Laurence O'Fuarain is not a good actor. The voiceover is awful and a terrible choice to include as a feature, it feels like being trepanned while being subjected to torture. It is amazing that this show got released as it is because it is so awful.
