As far as television adaptations go, Netflix's The Witcher series has been a pretty good one. Fans have applauded how faithful Netflix has been to Geralt of Rivia, and The Witcher is now one of Netflix's highest-rated shows on IMDB. However, fans have noticed a pretty funny quirk with Geralt, one that Reddit user Al-Andalusia poked some fun at.
A new supercut from the user shows off every time that Geralt, portrayed by Henry Cavill, goes "hmmm" in The Witcher, and even without context, the results are pretty entertaining. The supercut is just under a minute long, which is a surprising amount of one particular sound for the first season of a show. Of course, it's one of Geralt's primary mannerisms, so it makes sense that it appears so frequently, even if it seems strange when cut together.
The Witcher has generated quite a few memes since it released, including Jaskier's catchy "Toss a Coin To Your Witcher" song, which has been circulating online since its debut, even in a variety of languages. However, readers should note that there are a few moments in the supercut that may be considered NSFW, so viewers beware. There are also a few moments that may be considered spoilers.
So far, the show has even had an effect on the video game adaptation of the same books, The Witcher 3. Concurrent Witcher 3 players were even higher this month than when the game first launched on Steam. It's pretty impressive that the show has had that much of an effect on a game's player base, even though it's based on the novels.
Season 2 of The Witcher won't be released until 2021, but at least fans finally have the groundwork for what may be a long-running fantasy series. Now that Game of Thrones is done, there's a pretty big hole in the hearts of many fantasy fans, one that The Witcher may be able to fill in due time. If not, fans will just have to wait and see how Amazon's Lord of The Rings series turns out.
The Witcher is now streaming on Netflix.
