One Twitter user wrote, “I'll have more to say about it when the embargo drops, but it's well-cast, smartly-structured, and nicely paced. Good, solid pulp-fantasy nonsense”. Another wrote, “The look of the show is solid. Sets, costumes, and effects are great – nothing to worry about on that end. The fight choreography is insane. First fight Geralt gets into is beautifully savage. The blend of swordplay and Geralt's signs is perfection... I've watched this fight scene four times already. You're in for a treat”.
