I actually think it was more akin to a war cry. No assassin is gonna stop while their target is in reach simply because some dude starting yelling. Notice how Geralt's yell got more intense when the chamberlain got cut down? It's because he was _pissed._
Small detail i noticed is that when Geralt chopped of his arm and finished him, the viper assassin hit the ground before all the coins do, all that happens in only 6 seconds. Geralt is really fast
At 2:05 there is a frame where you can see that all the coins have fallen, and in the next frame they are still falling. This is done for more epicness, but yes, Geralt is very fast without it
@@Luckedge in reality both of them are fighting in such speed that the human eye would perceive it as a moving blur and its the same for letho assassinating the king on the ship

@@AdamMoonyLes Which is a big deal considering lots of video game sequels have a bad habit of being completely disconnected from thier previous installments. Almost pretending as if the previous games never even existed.
@@alanchung6843 Except the decisions you make in Witcher 2 barely affects the story of Witcher 3: - Spared Aryan? Very Minor side quest difference - Side with Scoia'tel or the Blue Stripes? Doesn't matter - Helped Iorveth? Not even in Witcher 3 - Killed Letho? No affect on game. Spared him? One short side quest and maybe he appears in Kaer Morhen - And what ever happened to Anais? You can play Witcher 3 without ever touching Witcher 2. Major characters from the previous game do return. But they play no major role and neither does your decisions aside from making some very minor changes to the Witcher 3 storyline. What I'm saying is that your Witcher 2 decisions were not very important.
with fewer and fewer Witchers being made, and more still fewer and fewer people hiring them, some witchers ( a profession almost none of them chose), choose to disgrace themselves by allowing their sword arms to be bought as hired muscle or assassins. A man gotta eat but it is sad to see such professionals use their skills against the people they are supposed to be protecting.
A small polish team that dealt in old games made a relativelly unknown title into one of the best swordfighting animations ever. And it only got better from there. I'm playing through Witcher 3 for the 4th time and still cone back to this epic scene.
Because he was a chad, he walked into the battlefield with his soldiers and complemented them even, the true and last chad king of the Witcher universe
2:03 reminds me of one of Geralt's finishing moves in TW3, only difference is that after he cuts off the arm and slices the belly, when the enemy is on their knees, he doesnt decapitate them.
Where do you think the term to disarm stems from? BTW: it was common practice in medieval Europe to amputate hands of prisoners of war. The idea was that then they are just useless mouths to feed once they return to the enemy... Similarly, slaying peasants or kidnapping them for forced labor, destroying farms, burning crops, poisoning wells and salting fields were also very common tactics.
No, Geralt would have noticed the blood and corpses anyway, so the assassin had a really small timeframe to strike. He messed up and couldn't kill Foltest in time, otherwise he could have made his escape before Geralt would have gotten him.
This scene still goes hard as fuck all these years later. Pre-rendered cutscenes were used as a crutch for engine limitations but they're far more cinematic.
Love the fact that Geralt knew the assassin would deflect any throwing weapon without loosing focus and opening his guard, he then throws the pouch of gold and manages to get him off balance with the element of surprise, only then he takes the chance and deals the killing blow. That's some quick thinking right here. Also, did he collect every coin afterwards or did the King provided a second pouch? I guess we'll never know.
@@Temerczyk_Norman_Sador Given that he was serving the king in the beginning of TW2 I reckon he had his gold in a private chamber of some kind. Which was then confiscated when he was arrested. That said the gold would have been confiscated whether it was on him or in a personal room upon his arrest.
The assassin was probably just dumbfounded that Geralt threw his hard earned gold at him. Witchers don’t live in luxury and the fact they value gold to survive he was like “this man lost his god damn mind” 😂
@@Temerczyk_Norman_Sador Haha, in my first playthrough of the first game, I played Foltest in dice poker and won 13000 orens. Never seen any of that in The Witcher 2. And to this day, I haven't managed to repeat that win...
I love how in the first game Geralt has animal like tendencies like scratching, growling, and pouncing from on all fours, then he slowly turned more and more human in personality toward the third game
@@casualcookin3893 It's caused Witchers are viewed as animal-like monsters, a reoccurring theme in the series. Geralt just stops trying and conforms to these stereotypes
Ahhhh, I remember seeing this for the forst time after finishing the Witcher for the first time. It was epic and hyped me so much for playing the rest of the series!
Imagine being such a bad witcher that you're fully prepped up to kill a king, his guards and possibly even have to deal with a witcher, and you lose to a witcher with zero prep, potions or extracts.
Because geralt is an even more advanced witcher. Think an mk 2 witcher. He had further enhancements done to.him which is why his hair turned white. Hes the only witcher like that
@@Rodrigo_A1 vesemirs hair is white cause hes much much older. Geralt is near 100 during witcher 3 so in the netflix series hes about in his prime I'd say. Vesemir is a few hundred years old at least I believe.
i like the animation styles of old stuff like this. There's something like bloom but not exactly bloom... gives it that final fantasy animation or assassins creed animation feel or something. Those animations, cutscenes, CGI... back then, pretty in their own way.
Easily one of the top 10 greatest cinematics/cut-scenes in videogame history! I absolutely adored the look of the Viper-School Witchers, this one in particular. He also was a fuckin badass fighter, he was wining this fight/melee with Geralt,, so much so that Geralt had to resort to some unconventional trickery at the end there to win it. Otherwise Geralt most likely would have lost, either by being killed or at best - suffer from enough major wounds/injuries to incapacitate him. So cool, especially seeing as how this came out back in 07 or 08 if i remember correctly. Side note, after having not played the first Witcher or seen this ending cinematic since soon after it originally was released, so i had completely forgotten what Geralt looked like in that game, (and even the existence of this cinematic), until i was randomly recommended this on RUclips. So much so that while watching it for the first time in well over a decade, early on in this scene i thought it was some other Witcher and was like, "wait a second... I thought it was Gerald who fought this dude," until it dawned on me, that that guy was Gerald.
@@Undivided-X That definitely makes sense. Still pretty damn impressive knowing how fuckin badass vanilla-Geralt is/was. But Geralt being the smart and experienced badass that he is found a way to win, and in mortal combat that's really all that truly matters.
@@Undivided-X To be fair, this isn't the first time Geralt gets his ass handed to him and has to resort to a dirty trick. The books have one or two similar moments. He's very good, but he isn't actually the best.
IIRC there's also a moment in one of the later games (Witcher 2?) where Geralt talks to another Witcher and he says that Geralt has a noticeable gap in his defense mostly around his groin/hip area, stemming from an old injury he suffered. It looks like the Viper school Witcher in this cinematic spotted the weakness and took advantage of it via the kick. And yeah, Geralt is a damn good swordsman, but he's by no means the best. There are others in the Northern Realms far better than he is. There's one guy in particular I remember from the lore who's really, REALLY good. He's so good, in fact, that he's killed several Witchers and collected their medallions as trophies, even more impressive considering that he's just an ordinary human, not a Witcher or a Sorcerer.
@@Morlev44 Absolutely true, but you have to understand that those guys are like royal guards, their job is to stand there and keep watch for a long period time, a few days of having to stay awake could dull your senses and make you drop your guard and well.. look how it ended for them
Damn, I'm old. I remember that between 2007-2011, one of the most discussed topic on Witcher forums was identity of this assassin. It took four years to get some answers. Funny thing is, even though we learn almost everything about this conspiracy in the second game, we never learn who was this guy in particular.
He was in the background of flashback scene where Geralt and other witchers fought against Wild Hunt. So that means he was familiar with Geralt. Still unknown tho'
I hope in The Witcher 4 his combat style is more like this. Feet closer together, using his core and balance to strike. The Witcher 3 is my favourite game of all time, but I think the combat animations could use more work. Tighter stance, looser wrist and more fluid core.
@@azuragoddess His story is finished. I mean he will be in The Witcher 4 but he wasn't major character, I mean i'm from Poland and his major Polish voice Actor confirmed that he will be in the game
@@simonberzl7270 Could deflect any blade...that is the point in plate armor, you won't be able to cut it, you will need a warhammer/mace or some different heavy blunt weapon with spikes to get trough. Or a shot from a powerfull bow from close up, because even some arrows won't punch trough if the bow they are fired from isn't powerfull enough or the distance is too big.
What does not make sense is why the Temerians suspected that Geralt was responsible for the successful second assassination attempt, especially after saving Foltest from the first and helping them take the La Valette tower. Guess they really did not have any brains......
Geralt, being a witcher, was a nice scapegoat, expecially because the barons of Temeria were more preoccupied with gaining more power over the Kingdom. You should also note how Roche, head of Temeria's special forces, didn't believe Geralt was guilty.
Too bad he wasn't able to save Foltest twice! It was the only king in the game universe which I've kinda liked. Even if he had some special fucking habits.
A future game that takes place around the founding of the first Witcher school would be cool. Or just in the earlier days before there were only like 10 Witchers left, maybe the main character could be from the griffin school
This is why Vesemir doesn’t allow Viper and Cat school Witcher’s to be in Kaer Morhen. And why Wolf, Griffin, and Manticore school Witchers are the most respected
@@Soradakanizat ursine witchers are not assassins like school of cat and viper witchers but they are not very friendly to other witchers even from their own school.
@@bradyangbradyang the witcher geralt kills here,helps him fight the Wild Hunt along Letho and the other 2 viper school witchers,you learn this in Witcher 2
Are we sure he is a Viper witcher? The plot of the second game, the assassin's fighting style (dual wield), and the cat eyes point to him being another Viper witcher, but none of the 3 Viper witchers in TW2 acknowledges a fourth member or an earlier attempt at Foltest in any way. Letho even says Demavend was their first target, for Sile, and they started improvising after that with the Scoia'tael. This assassin could have been an earlier attempt at Emhyr trying to use witchers. Or maybe even a successful mutant created by Salamandra that came to finish their job.
@@chacharealsmooth941 If that's all it were, each frame of a photorealistic scene in a PBS renderer would have more aesthetic value than any paintings by the old masters. Bugmen are incapable of truly understanding things like beauty and power of depiction so, so they without fail resort to bean counting as an approximation of them. The human element in art is beyond their understanding. Go coom to polycounts or something, leave me be.
They still are. It’s not going to be a 100% smooth launch when you are releasing one of the first new gen games with an expansive open world hundreds of vibrant flashing lights. CP2077 was a bad launch but an overall great game
@@Itslilmoist yeah but unlike CP the Witcher 3 won 260 game of the year awards and was the most awarded game of all time until 2021 when it was beaten by the the last of us part 2. So yeah its nice to be stunned and all but people really loved the gameplay and the extraordinary storyline of Witcher 3 plus its graphics is awesome enough to be played and enjoyed on all the platforms it was offered. CP don't even come close to where Witcher 3 stands.
Something I noticed about this trailer is that Geralt's scabbard has a slit down the side so that he can actually draw his sword from his back. IIRC we haven't really seen anything like that in the more modern games, certainly not in TW3
The viper school were manipulated into killing kings as Emhyr var Emreis lied to them saying that they could rebuild their guild IF they do this task and after they completed their contracts Emhyr showed his hand and sent bounty hunters on them. So they were played the fool
The memories from this ! Because i didn't even knew this was a game i'd watch this GMV on Die With Honor from Manowar with my little brother. That was sooo good back then ! And this is how i got into metal few months after 😂😂
The first game was the most lore accurate from the way Geralt looks to the kind of Signs it had to the fact that Geralt only carried the steel sword on his back in this cinematic (the silver sword was rarely needed with the decline in number and frequency of monsters and Witchers generally always knew when they were going to hunt and kill a monster so it was kept with their horse). The concept of two swords on the back was borne of necessity because players didn't have a mount and because the games in general violated the lore regarding the rarity of monsters for the sake of diverse enemy content.
They could literally make a CG series about the short stories in episodic format with this level of quality and writting and it would be miles better than whatever Netflix is doing.

Witchers are functionally immortal they only die when they fall in battle.
i like the animation styles of old stuff like this. There's something like bloom but not exactly bloom... gives it that final fantasy animation or assassins creed animation feel or something. Those animations, cutscenes, CGI... back then, pretty in their own way.
One of the best post credit scenes ever !!!
When fighting Gerald of Rivia, sometimes you need an extra hand.... Ok I’m walking myself out right now lol
Toss a coin to a Witcher..............or a whole bag
Nice.
First Witcher have the best storywriting and puzzles.
Geralt is basically a Medieval European Samurai with supernatural abilities and he's fucking awesome.
Geralt is much more than a pathetic samurai
Just look at what kind of people they where in medieval times
@@hellothere-ij2ij Knights > Samurai
And he still doesnt wear actual armor.
Samurai were henchmen for big landowners and spent most of their time off the battlefields cutting down peasants.
Looks like Geralt tried to use Wolf fighting style against an agile opponent
"Tis only a flesh wound"
it's clever though.Geralt was fighting strong style and was losing.he tossed that gold pouch quickly switched to fast style and won in an instant.
Easily one of the top 10 greatest cinematics/cut-scenes in videogame history! I absolutely adored the look of the Viper-School Witchers, this one in particular. He also was a fuckin badass fighter, he was wining this fight/melee with Geralt,, so much so that Geralt had to resort to some unconventional trickery at the end there to win it. Otherwise Geralt most likely would have lost, either by being killed or at best - suffer from enough major wounds/injuries to incapacitate him. So cool, especially seeing as how this came out back in 07 or 08 if i remember correctly. Side note, after having not played the first Witcher or seen this ending cinematic since soon after it originally was released, so i had completely forgotten what Geralt looked like in that game, (and even the existence of this cinematic), until i was randomly recommended this on RUclips. So much so that while watching it for the first time in well over a decade, early on in this scene i thought it was some other Witcher and was like, "wait a second... I thought it was Gerald who fought this dude," until it dawned on me, that that guy was Gerald.
Pretty sure the assassin had prepped with potions and decoctions while Geralt had to go into the fight vanilla.
@@Undivided-X That definitely makes sense. Still pretty damn impressive knowing how fuckin badass vanilla-Geralt is/was. But Geralt being the smart and experienced badass that he is found a way to win, and in mortal combat that's really all that truly matters.
@@Undivided-X To be fair, this isn't the first time Geralt gets his ass handed to him and has to resort to a dirty trick. The books have one or two similar moments. He's very good, but he isn't actually the best.
IIRC there's also a moment in one of the later games (Witcher 2?) where Geralt talks to another Witcher and he says that Geralt has a noticeable gap in his defense mostly around his groin/hip area, stemming from an old injury he suffered. It looks like the Viper school Witcher in this cinematic spotted the weakness and took advantage of it via the kick.
And yeah, Geralt is a damn good swordsman, but he's by no means the best. There are others in the Northern Realms far better than he is. There's one guy in particular I remember from the lore who's really, REALLY good. He's so good, in fact, that he's killed several Witchers and collected their medallions as trophies, even more impressive considering that he's just an ordinary human, not a Witcher or a Sorcerer.
@@Zaxares ,the man in mentioned is Leo Bonhart.
bruh those guards are some mighty heavy sleepers
To be fair, the assassin was a Witcher.
@@mavezemagnifique yeah but you'd assume they'd come to help once screams begun and steel started clunking
"nah I'm gonna sleep this one out"
@@Morlev44 Absolutely true, but you have to understand that those guys are like royal guards, their job is to stand there and keep watch for a long period time, a few days of having to stay awake could dull your senses and make you drop your guard and well.. look how it ended for them
Damn, I'm old. I remember that between 2007-2011, one of the most discussed topic on Witcher forums was identity of this assassin. It took four years to get some answers. Funny thing is, even though we learn almost everything about this conspiracy in the second game, we never learn who was this guy in particular.
He was in the background of flashback scene where Geralt and other witchers fought against Wild Hunt. So that means he was familiar with Geralt. Still unknown tho'
Still badass as all hell to this day
I guess you can say he tossed a coin to the Witcher
Geralt took "Toss a coin to your witcher" very seriously here
Foltest sounds like tiktoks text-to-speech guy
I hope in The Witcher 4 his combat style is more like this. Feet closer together, using his core and balance to strike. The Witcher 3 is my favourite game of all time, but I think the combat animations could use more work. Tighter stance, looser wrist and more fluid core.
Geralt isn't going to be in the Witcher 4. It's an entirely new main character.
@@SamFisher007 Geralt is already officially confirmed for the Witcher 4.
@@Shinobi560 wait, what? Wasn`t his story finished?
@@azuragoddess His story is finished. I mean he will be in The Witcher 4 but he wasn't major character, I mean i'm from Poland and his major Polish voice Actor confirmed that he will be in the game
“For your toil, Jerome, a bag of lukewarm chicken nuggies”
“Thank you your highness, master.”
Imagine a the witcher spin off game that you play as a viper witcher. A stealthy styled game
I think Geralt took the sentence "Toss a coin to your Witcher" too far...
When you win because you remembered "toss a coin to your witcher" song
Anybody remember the beautifully OP witcher vipers from the gwent beta?
Deal 1 point of dmg for every alchemy card in your deck.
@@zamaskowany12 Yup you got it! Was hella strong. I miss the gwent beta so damn much, didn't like homecoming
@@hitxmark404 Same I actually played since the closed beta when there was no RNG at all and Nilfgaard wasn't even a faction back then.
Everyone who played that broken deck is a pussy bitch
@@zamaskowany12 Nice man. I played since open beta dropped, put in hundreds of hours and loved it. Wish they'd return gwent to its former glory
@ 2:02 when he dehandinates him, you hear a critical hit sound. You’ll only know the sound if you played the game.
1:15 If this was any other universe Foltest would've lost his hand there.
I would like to think that the plated armor a king wears could deflect a dagger but i get where you are coming from
@@simonberzl7270 Could deflect any blade...that is the point in plate armor, you won't be able to cut it, you will need a warhammer/mace or some different heavy blunt weapon with spikes to get trough.
Or a shot from a powerfull bow from close up, because even some arrows won't punch trough if the bow they are fired from isn't powerfull enough or the distance is too big.
@@IonutzGamesMc No bow can pierce plate, not even a crossbow.
@@thedarkknight9021 Except bows and crossbows did in fact pierce plate, French soldiers in full plate were killed many times by English longbowmen.
@@darthkenobi6726 French Soldiers did not wear full plate, that is a fictional retell of the event.
What does not make sense is why the Temerians suspected that Geralt was responsible for the successful second assassination attempt, especially after saving Foltest from the first and helping them take the La Valette tower. Guess they really did not have any brains......
Geralt, being a witcher, was a nice scapegoat, expecially because the barons of Temeria were more preoccupied with gaining more power over the Kingdom. You should also note how Roche, head of Temeria's special forces, didn't believe Geralt was guilty.
Just finished the game snd watched this, best part of the whole game, ready for 2nd one
Too bad he wasn't able to save Foltest twice! It was the only king in the game universe which I've kinda liked. Even if he had some special fucking habits.
2:31 - so The Undertaker was a witcher?
It's odd, I think any witcher would kill Foltest in a fraction of a second with just a pointy stick
He was wearing a full plate armour and Geralt ran immediately to his rescue, this is what ended up saving Foltest.
Well turns out he caught on to the whole "toss a coin to your witcher" thing afteral.
A future game that takes place around the founding of the first Witcher school would be cool. Or just in the earlier days before there were only like 10 Witchers left, maybe the main character could be from the griffin school
Everyone's not giving the Viper proper attention. He's a gigachad Assassin.
This is why Vesemir doesn’t allow Viper and Cat school Witcher’s to be in Kaer Morhen. And why Wolf, Griffin, and Manticore school Witchers are the most respected
Denbu ? What about the bear school witchers tho don’t forget about those ursine beasts
@@Soradakanizat ursine witchers are not assassins like school of cat and viper witchers but they are not very friendly to other witchers even from their own school.
I just realised that Witcher 1 Geralt looks heaps like Witcher 3 Lambert
Fun fact: This witcher also helped fight the Wild Hunt at the Hanged Man’s Tree
What?
@@bradyangbradyang the witcher geralt kills here,helps him fight the Wild Hunt along Letho and the other 2 viper school witchers,you learn this in Witcher 2
Are we sure he is a Viper witcher? The plot of the second game, the assassin's fighting style (dual wield), and the cat eyes point to him being another Viper witcher, but none of the 3 Viper witchers in TW2 acknowledges a fourth member or an earlier attempt at Foltest in any way. Letho even says Demavend was their first target, for Sile, and they started improvising after that with the Scoia'tael.
This assassin could have been an earlier attempt at Emhyr trying to use witchers. Or maybe even a successful mutant created by Salamandra that came to finish their job.
Geralt was aided by 4 Viper Witchers while fighting with the Wild Hunt,this one is most likely that same witcher in my opinion
"Screw the rules, I have MONEY!"
Don't forget about one small thing - this witcher from viper school was probably on drugs and Geralt still managed to beat him
This was one masterpiece of a game
The school of the wolfs weakness are cutscenes, and the school of the viper are bags of coins.
Love this scene...they make it Beautiful...Thanks for that Beautiful Gane...🤘👍👍🤘
Really bumps me up that Letho barely figths with the little dagger, if ever, in witcher 2 and 3
This came out in 2007. It's almost 2020 and this still beats so many modern titles in terms of visual beauty as well as action.
Now that is not true at all. The models are okay, great for the time, but doesn’t hold up to modern games.
@@BruceWayne-fj9bm Beauty (and visual depiction of power and grace) is more than just racking up the polycount or texture res.
With nostalgia goggles, everything looks beautiful.
@@chacharealsmooth941 If that's all it were, each frame of a photorealistic scene in a PBS renderer would have more aesthetic value than any paintings by the old masters.
Bugmen are incapable of truly understanding things like beauty and power of depiction so, so they without fail resort to bean counting as an approximation of them. The human element in art is beyond their understanding.
Go coom to polycounts or something, leave me be.
@@tiffles3890 It's not about realism. It is about being outdated. I'm sorry.
This is what I call "pay to win"
even at this time their cutscenes were already so smooth..CDPR was really an amazing developer before cyberpunk
They still are. It’s not going to be a 100% smooth launch when you are releasing one of the first new gen games with an expansive open world hundreds of vibrant flashing lights. CP2077 was a bad launch but an overall great game
Compare CP2077 to TW3. The difference is clear. Even with mods TW3 looks nowhere near as stunning as CP which only came 5 years later
@@Itslilmoist yeah but unlike CP the Witcher 3 won 260 game of the year awards and was the most awarded game of all time until 2021 when it was beaten by the the last of us part 2. So yeah its nice to be stunned and all but people really loved the gameplay and the extraordinary storyline of Witcher 3 plus its graphics is awesome enough to be played and enjoyed on all the platforms it was offered. CP don't even come close to where Witcher 3 stands.
Something I noticed about this trailer is that Geralt's scabbard has a slit down the side so that he can actually draw his sword from his back. IIRC we haven't really seen anything like that in the more modern games, certainly not in TW3
talk about "tossing a coin to your witcher"..
The viper school were manipulated into killing kings as Emhyr var Emreis lied to them saying that they could rebuild their guild IF they do this task and after they completed their contracts Emhyr showed his hand and sent bounty hunters on them. So they were played the fool
Looking at this now, why didn't the assasin just wait for Geralt to leave? xp
Probably to frame him
To frame Geralt.
How was he supposed to wait until Geralt left if he had killed people in 1:06?
Royal Heads of the Wall. Nice Foreshadowing of what’s to come.
The memories from this ! Because i didn't even knew this was a game i'd watch this GMV on Die With Honor from Manowar with my little brother. That was sooo good back then ! And this is how i got into metal few months after 😂😂
That one 3 min. cutscene, made in 2007 is better, than whole 2 season show on netflix...
2:02 when you play witcher deck in gwent.
The first game was the most lore accurate from the way Geralt looks to the kind of Signs it had to the fact that Geralt only carried the steel sword on his back in this cinematic (the silver sword was rarely needed with the decline in number and frequency of monsters and Witchers generally always knew when they were going to hunt and kill a monster so it was kept with their horse). The concept of two swords on the back was borne of necessity because players didn't have a mount and because the games in general violated the lore regarding the rarity of monsters for the sake of diverse enemy content.
A worthy pounch of gold.
Process to check: No more than 500 gold
Geralt: I think I will be an assassin of king!
Still my favorite Witcher game.
If only it was re-made with the Witcher 3 Engine and graphics etc.
Many choices, romances and different atmosphere , thats real Witcher
@@ТАДАМ-ю4ж yes. I don't like remaster, but keeping it OG
He probably knew this guy if he wasn't amnesiac.
just finished the game, was really worth playing 👍👍
I do like that he checked if he was actually dead.
2:02
- geralt uses "toss a coin to your witcher"
- *effective* -
- Viper witcher dies
Thats where the song " Toss a coin to your Witcher" came from.
I hope they make this a boss in the remake
Heh or a quick time event lol
DId anyone notice how the guy at 0:22 looks just like Sapkowski?
They could literally make a CG series about the short stories in episodic format with this level of quality and writting and it would be miles better than whatever Netflix is doing.
