Fun Fact, Henry Cavill played the games, and he "stalked" netflix for months and "begging" to play geralt of rivia. he is a huuge witcher fan and he did an awesome job!
I haven't fact checked this, but my friend told me yesterday he loved being Geralt so much he didn't have a stand in at all for this series. For every shot that you see of Geralt that doesn't focus on his face, so his boots, or the back of his head for example, it's actually Henry Cavill.
@@NikkiStevenReact And he trained his Voice that he sounds like the Geralt from the Games. I´m excited about your next Reactions. Thanks for sharing! Greetings from Germany
@@Andre_APM Stop what? I'm not talking about things like nilfgaardian ballsack armor or gypsy triss. I'm talking about how they changed up the story so that it doesn't have as much sense and impact as it did in the books. Overall, season 1 is a pretty mediocre adaptation.
@@sance777 Actually, they re-shot the whole episode after principle filming has ended and Henry brought in Wolfgang Steggemann to choreograph these fight scenes for the re-shoots. Wolfgang worked with Henry in Mission Impossible 4.
The story of Renfri is actually the author's favorite and it's intended to not be clear who was right and who was wrong and that's why it's so beautifully tragic. So happy y'all are watching this!
Geralt has basically been beaten down by the world and people, he's become cynical and he doesn't like to get involved in people's problems because it always ends badly for him. The problem with Geralt though is deep down he's a knight in shining armour, he can't not help people if he sees them in trouble, he's a genuinely good guy in that he can't stand about and let bad things happen. But it always ends in a backlash on him. Which is just sad because he sincerely wants to help and do good.
The Witcher in a nutshell. :) Even when you think you are doing good - you come out bloody and the consequences not what you'd imagine. That is the whole foundation and the games really expounded upon that. :)
The battle at the end of this episode was freaking amazing! ⚔ Fun fact that all the fight coreographs in this show are made by Vladimir Furdik aka the guy who played the Night King. So just imagine the wasted potential in GOT season 8 when we could have seen such a freaking amazing fight scene between Jon Snow and the Night King
@@PPfilmemacher Ah thanks for correcting me. I was under the impression he did them all but still, just imagine the wasted potential. For example he did the coreography to Ser Arthur Dayne's and Ned Stark's battle and that was cool af.
@@jennig3862 the fight made by Vladimir Furdik didn't suit this show because it's too "hollywood", that's why he didn't comeback for more. Wolfgang Stegemann will take over from season 2 i believe
Another great show on Netflix is Dark. It is a German series with two seasons as of now, with the third one coming afaik. It is a slow burner, but very good and intriguing.
@@Ehterlink The English dub is horrendous! Couldnt make it past 30 seconds in. I think you just have to be sort of used to the different tones of German voices. Everyone only thinks of political propaganda and not the wide variety of voices and pronunciations
According to the author, the idea for Renfri was Snow White, and we know who Snow White's stepmother was and that is where Stegabor got his (bad) info about Renfri from,
The producer of the show said she'd continue making seasons until the content runs out. There's a lot of content between the books and the games so expect for many many seasons.
She says she has seven seasons outlined out but enough content to go twenty. Also, she said the new season won't come out until 2021 because they don't want to feel rushed like they did last time - so expect even better special effects.
The Witcher series is by far one of my favorite fantasy series. One of the great things about it is its moral ambiguity. Nothing is black and white, it's all about the gray areas. You get presented with some information and you think it's obvious what's right and wrong and then you get the whole story eventually and then you realize that you're no longer sure which is good and which is bad. It's amazingly well written and thought out.
It is. And the show doesn't hold your hand and waste time with tons of exposition. You have to figure it out for yourself, notice the hints and piece it all together. I really like that!
Love the reactions, "He's hired to kill monst...OMG! " You guys literally had me laughing out loud...This show moves fast & has alot of info thrown at you, but it'll get more clear as the season goes on. Deep lore & great characters, all with shades of grey...Steven is gonna have a new "GUY"...Geralt of Rivia!
This is gonna be really fun. One of my favorite shows of late. Loved the reaction from Steven when Geralt removed the head of Renfrie’s last henchman :D
Ok, I have to say - watching you two fresh to the lore is just pure joy. Consider me waiting for your videos when season 2 is up. and about the medallion he wears - it's special. It's a sign of the witchers guild, helping recognise them fo the ordinary folk. And also it is filled with magic and it has many functions, not all are described in the books, but it reacts to magic and monsters presence. It shivers, and by that the witchers know somethings up, especially with creatures that can shapeshift into human form. That 'magic org' Geralt does - it's an Axii Sign, one of low level spells witchers use in combat. This one is like a Jedi mind trick basically.
Last year, I requested that you two react to the video "Game of Thrones Libertarian Edition" and the comment received a heart from Nikki! I am respectfully reminding you guys that you are now obligated to react to the video, as prescribed in the heart emoji contract. I am looking forward to the video! And I am looking forward to your reactions of the rest of the Witcher series! Such a good series!
Thanks for this awesome reaction. I love the Witcher series. I think Henry plays the part very well. Love his oufit/looks and his voice. Also I was deeply impressed about the huge amount of work and HEART he put into this role. He loved to play the games himself, and in this he does all his stunts by himself. It's great to watch! I'm enjoying watching with you and are exited for you to learn more about the world of the witcher. ♥ Have fun guys! P.S.: NiKki you looked so beautiful in this vid. Gorgeous. ♥
I’d not read the books, or had any real idea of the storyline when I watched this last month. It took till ep three with the can’t-get-out-of-your-head song in it, for me to realise I was really enjoying it. I love how chatty, funny and open Jaskier is compared to monosyllabic, grumpy, grunting Geralt. Love Yennifer too. Now why can’t I kick arse like these sorceresses!- or Geralt, obviously. Love this show, and can’t wait for series 2! I’ve been watching you guys since GoT, and really love how emotionally invested you are with the characters in this show, in such a short space of time. Your reactions are just fabulous because we identify with you! Much love from England🏴
Nearly a year late to this video but.... Fun fact: Henry did all his fight choreography for that fight scene (shot in one take, took multiple tries to get right obviously) but there was a stunt double for Renfri's actress. That stunt double is Lucy Cork, Henry's ex-girlfriend. Yes they shot this after they broke up :)
I believe Renfri's power is not influencing people but Precognition, Everything she said came true. "You were in the market, Covered in blood." He was there and after the fight he was covered in blood. "You made a choice, and you'll never know it it was the right one." That is what Stregabor said to him. "Your reward will be a stoning." The people of Blaviken threw rocks at him. "You will run, you will try to outrun the girl in the woods but you can not, the girl in the woods will be with you always, she is your destiny." Which we know at the end that Cirilla is running into the woods, some might think that the girl in the woods might be Renfri, but no, it is Cirilla, who we know is looking for Geralt after Queen Calanthe said that he was her destiny.
So glad you are reacting to the Witcher. So glad, that I've stayed up till 4am waiting for this! I loved the show, enjoy the ride. Now I'm going to bed. Goodnight.
I haven't joined you on a video in a little while, you covered shows that I either haven't seen, or I don't plan to. But I literally just binged this entire season YESTERDAY! So I'm pumped to be back with the Nikki and Steven family!
Geralt loves the ladies and the ladies love him. The show so far has tamed it down actually lol. Witcher mutation actually effect their sex drive increasing it . Sorcoresses also feel his magic vibrations and enjoy it very much 😆
Just saw the trailer for season 2, thought I’d come back here to get a recap. I love how Nikki writes notes so she catches everything, and this first season surely needed it lol
I've been skipping your Vikings, Twd and bcs content cuz I haven't seen them for myself yet and I intend to so I am avoiding spoilers, so it goes without saying that it's good to be back with you guys for some quality reactions 🙂👍🙂 Here we go 😋
Exactly what I was going to say. Wish I could watch more of their stuff lately, but I am not caught up. Tell you what though, not watching them and looking for other reactors doing The Witcher really puts it in perspective. Nikki and Steven are very high quality reactors. They are entertaining yes, but production quality is really on point. Audio is great both on the show and themselves, the camera placement and zoom makes them feel more present. Its just good stuff.
Ive been a big Henry Cavill fan for a long time. Glad this show is bringing him into a lot of people's attention. Dude is just an all around awesome human.
Recommend the series The Expanse as well if you two want to expand your SciFi experience BTW, probably the best modern space series going on right now :D
This is when I curse myself for being away from my feed for too long. I'm so excited you're doing this show! I finished with work early and now watching this entire playlist (I think you're up to 7 so almost done) as my reward for being diligent. Also I have a bet with myself as to when Steven comes to the 'my guy' conclusion. Time to see if I'm right!
Henry carries this whole thing on his shoulders imho, just because of how well done his character is. Other characters imho are somewhat weaker, and some are downright miscast and deliberatly race swapped, which breaks the whole canon (more on that later). Otherwise, definitely fun show and DO PLAY THE GAMES, especially the 3rd one + expansions. They are THAT good! Also, Geralt and Jon Snow would make a brilliant team. To make it an awesome trio, throw in Guts the Black Swordsman in there and there you have the most badass team ever XD
I try to overlook the race-swaps because that's unfortunately the direction society's heading these days, and I can't let these PC folk ruin my entertainment.
I think “My Guy” started w/Jon Snow but now includes other characters (better include Ragnar). I wonder if there’ll ever be a “My Girl.” 🤷🏾♂️ 🤔 Could you imagine if Daenerys had fighting skills like Lagertha?
I couldn't wait for you guys to watch episode 1 and knew Steven would freaking love the fight scene at the end. I started following your RUclips channel when you reacted to Game of Thrones and loved that. Currently I've watched the first 5 episodes of The Witcher and really enjoy it, also Henry Cavill is phenomenal.
Hey guys :) so glad youre joining the witcher fandom! I havent played the games myself, so I went in blind aswell😊 Cant wait to go on this journey with you and I hope you love it as much as I! Greetings from germany ❤❤
Ahw.. I really wanted to see Nikki's reaction to Marilka saying she killed her dog for coin and joking about it. Not one reactor leaves this bit in their video's.. I was absolutely disgusted by Marilka at this point.
Elisa Werthenbach , I watched the full length on Patreon. Nikki was stunned for a second, like did she just say what I thought she said? There wasn’t a huge reaction. Probably why it didn’t make the cut. She was really focused on taking notes at the time. This first episode is A LOT to take in.
Man I havent been on your channel forever it feels like best friends I havent seen for 8 months! I'll have to follow the twitch stream and see what's up. As for the Witcher I hope you guys enjoy it, it takes a bit to get going they sort of just throw you in the deep end.
Did you know they weren’t even real? They were conjured by him, as well as everything else in there. They did help him with his “research” though , from a certain point of view.😉
@@Nandrall18-25 Not quite, they were conjured by the original resident of the Tower Stregobor lives in. He just never bothered to replace/reset them. (Undoing another Mage's spells is not easy) Besides, why would he want to?

I believe he also read the books / stories
@@FrshChees91 yeah, he said this too in interviews
@@FrshChees91 I watched a few interviews Henry Cavill did promoting the show and he also enjoyed playing the video games.
@@LadySophiaVelaryon same. he's said all those facts.
Fun fact: The actress that plays Queen Calanthe, also played the witch that told young Cersei's fortune in Game of Thrones.
BRUH THAT'S WHY SHE LOOKED SO FAMILIAR yooo she's always been good i remember loving that scene
Yes. Maggy the Frog S05E01
Also I believe the girl that jumps off the cliff in the last of the Mohicans.
Maggie the frog
ohh, i didnt knew that!! cool!
Henry loved the books and games so much that he had his agent call daily to get the role of Geralt....pretty awesome.
that is awesome!!
@@NikkiStevenReact And he trained his Voice that he sounds like the Geralt from the Games.

"She stabbed herself, technically". Lmao, lemme guess, Steve has a younger brother?

Just like my little brother shot himself in the foot with our BB gun when were kids.😉
@@Nandrall18-25 Mine too, in the ass, twice...
Then Calanthe recovered and became a witch, migrated to Westeros and predicted Cersei's future.
A future that never happened
Oh shit. I thought she looked familiar but I couldn't think from where.
Matt Ruller YOOOOO I knew I saw her somewhere
And before that, as a young Mohican girl she jumped off the cliff and landed on the Continent then become the Queen of Cintra.
@@exodustimes4266 it did happen
let's just be happy, that in this case, the books are ACTUALLY finished.
unless they release another prequel book
Very important statement because that was the main problem about latest GOT seasons
Doesn't really matter, they'll still fuck it up. They already fucked up the 1st season.

Man, this ending fight scenes are some of the most brutal, awesome, clean sword choreography I've seen.
The sword throw looked off, but other than that it was really good
Thanks to the night king. He's a wonderful stunt coordinator.
It matches the books also, which describe a very specific style of fighting with a lot of half turns.

Sees someone getting stabbed by a spider leg
Nikki: Did he just get stabbed?
Steven: That’s a dope looking sword
Except he wasn't getting stabbed, he was holding on to the leg to chop it off.
He was talking about Geralt's sword in the water. Nothing really out of the ordinary with either of those quotes.
@@trashsplashtucker He was pointing out that 2 people notice 2 totally different things.
The look on Steven's face when Geralt cuts the guys head off with his sword is PRICELESS! :)

"He's got a lot to look at. There's a lot going on."
Truer words have never been spoken, Nikki. Truer words have never been spoken.

Dark is the best show Netflix has ever produced, no question.
interesting note: it was renfri's STEPMOTHER who claimed she did all those horrible things
So Renfri was a redheaded stepchild?
@@krissmith8851 lol, precisely 😆
Even more interesting is Renfri had seven minions. Seven minions and a wicked stepmother, where have we heard that before...?

Yeah, in the books she even meets a band of dwarves once she kills the rouge sent to get rid of her
When two of your favorite reactors react to your latest favorite show. . . now that makes a for a nice lunch. :D
Nice dinner for me
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, he's gonna be your guy.

If you notice Stregabor uses magic on the crowd to incite them.
Did he though? They never liked him to begin with. Him saying what he said just helped push their feelings out. That's what i got from it.

Ive been a big Henry Cavill fan for a long time. Glad this show is bringing him into a lot of people's attention. Dude is just an all around awesome human.
And to belive ppl kept complaining he would make a bad Geralt. He nailed it.
I like how you cut yourself off right as Geralt cuts that guys head off saying "Dude he's fucking hired to kill mon-" that part killed me XD
Recommend the series The Expanse as well if you two want to expand your SciFi experience BTW, probably the best modern space series going on right now :D
This is when I curse myself for being away from my feed for too long. I'm so excited you're doing this show! I finished with work early and now watching this entire playlist (I think you're up to 7 so almost done) as my reward for being diligent.
Also I have a bet with myself as to when Steven comes to the 'my guy' conclusion. Time to see if I'm right!
Hell Yeah! Thank you, i love the show, the videogames, the books, all amazing, your reactions too! :)
Hell yeah guys! So excited that you guys are reacting to a show I've seen again
Never clicked a video this fast!
so happy you guys are reacting to this!!! Can't wait for you to see what's next
15:15 Calanthe in the books did the same thing ^^
Before the first Game of Thrones book was written.
Damn, Witcher is old. :D
@@gf1917 yep it is. First book was published in 1986 I think, I mean "The Last Wish"
@@b4nterontilt 1993*
Yeah, The Last Wish was published in 1993 but his first Witcher short story WAS published in 1986
But my impression from the book was that she did it a lot more badass. :D
This season has 3 main timelines to follow Geralt of Rivia's, Yenner of Vengerberg's, and Ciri's. It comes together in episode 4.
I hope they will see your comment before they continue watching :D
"He looks freakin' huge....."
That's because he **IS** huge. Henry Cavill is 6'2" and probably weighs around 210 lbs of solid muscle.
I thought henry was 6"3.
Nope. 6'1"-6'2". He's dwarfed onscreen when he stands next to Jason Momoa.
I've waited to watch this show so I could watch along with you after I've seen each episode. Psyched!
Henry carries this whole thing on his shoulders imho, just because of how well done his character is. Other characters imho are somewhat weaker, and some are downright miscast and deliberatly race swapped, which breaks the whole canon (more on that later). Otherwise, definitely fun show and DO PLAY THE GAMES, especially the 3rd one + expansions. They are THAT good! Also, Geralt and Jon Snow would make a brilliant team. To make it an awesome trio, throw in Guts the Black Swordsman in there and there you have the most badass team ever XD
I try to overlook the race-swaps because that's unfortunately the direction society's heading these days, and I can't let these PC folk ruin my entertainment.
WHAT WHAT WHAT I HAD NO IDEA YOU WERE REACTING TO THIS OMG I'M SO EXCITED
I was actually disappointed when Steve was saying “the hall of my guy” that he said Jon Snow and not Ragnar.
Same! I was waiting untill the end but he still didn't get a mention.
Sam Hey and Jon Snow is kind of a bitch 😂 like just a little lolll
I know , it broke my heart.
Jon Snow is better than Ragnar. Jon Snow did more for his people than Ragnar. You can like Ragnar more but he didn't achieve as much as Jon Snow.
I think “My Guy” started w/Jon Snow but now includes other characters (better include Ragnar). I wonder if there’ll ever be a “My Girl.” 🤷🏾♂️ 🤔 Could you imagine if Daenerys had fighting skills like Lagertha?
I couldn't wait for you guys to watch episode 1 and knew Steven would freaking love the fight scene at the end. I started following your RUclips channel when you reacted to Game of Thrones and loved that. Currently I've watched the first 5 episodes of The Witcher and really enjoy it, also Henry Cavill is phenomenal.
YES! This is such a good show!
Hey guys :) so glad youre joining the witcher fandom! I havent played the games myself, so I went in blind aswell😊
Cant wait to go on this journey with you and I hope you love it as much as I!
Greetings from germany ❤❤
Finally "The Witcher"! Now I still dream to see the reaction to "Money Heist" (la casa de Papel) ❤️
YAAAAY, haven’t been back to watch you guys since Game of Thrones but I’m so stoked you’re watching this😁👍
Ahw.. I really wanted to see Nikki's reaction to Marilka saying she killed her dog for coin and joking about it. Not one reactor leaves this bit in their video's.. I was absolutely disgusted by Marilka at this point.
Elisa Werthenbach , I watched the full length on Patreon. Nikki was stunned for a second, like did she just say what I thought she said? There wasn’t a huge reaction. Probably why it didn’t make the cut. She was really focused on taking notes at the time. This first episode is A LOT to take in.
Man I havent been on your channel forever it feels like best friends I havent seen for 8 months! I'll have to follow the twitch stream and see what's up.
As for the Witcher I hope you guys enjoy it, it takes a bit to get going they sort of just throw you in the deep end.
4:33 Let's not start judging. Those ladies are only there to uhhh...aid the good sorcerer with his work. Strictly professional.
Did you know they weren’t even real? They were conjured by him, as well as everything else in there. They did help him with his “research” though , from a certain point of view.😉
@@Nandrall18-25 Not quite, they were conjured by the original resident of the Tower Stregobor lives in. He just never bothered to replace/reset them. (Undoing another Mage's spells is not easy) Besides, why would he want to?
Glad to be watching something with you guys again! This'll be fun 😀
