“Blood Origin” follows a classic fantasy series structure in that it gathers a merry band of misfits to save the day from a potential event that could shatter the peace in this land, which allows the writers to play with different character types in one “fellowship.” The leaders here are Eile ( Sophia Brown) and Fjall (Laurence O’Fuarain), the former a musician and the latter a disgraced guard who was exiled after getting a bit too intimate with a princess named Merwyn (Mirren Mack), who ends up becoming the villain of the piece. (Prequels were big in fantasy TV this year.) The show opens with a familiar face in Jaskier ( Joey Batey) as he struggles through a bloody battle that’s interrupted by Driver’s Seanchai, who kind of serves the same role that Cate Blanchett did in “ The Lord of the Rings” films as she tells the story of the early days of this land to Jaskier. “The Witcher: Blood Origin” digs into material from the Andrzej Sapkowski books on which the game was based to detail the creation of the first Witcher in a story that unfolds 1,200 years before the core Netflix series.
The show will just make them wish they were playing the game. The game will remind players how robustly detailed the storytelling is in this influential fantasy masterpiece.
THE WITCHER BLOOD ORIGIN RELEASE UPDATE
The new-ish is a next-gen update to the award-winning masterpiece “The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt,” complete with new graphics, multiple tweaks, a new quest, and all the previously released DLC. The new is the Netflix four-episode first season of “The Witcher: Blood Origin,” a prequel to the core series that stars the overqualified Michelle Yeoh and Minnie Driver. He’s still a major part of pop culture, popping up in the latest season of “Fortnite” for example, and there are two new ways to explore this universe this holiday season. Cavill notoriously left the Netflix hit after the already-filmed third season (and then got booted from the future of Superman anyway) and there hasn’t been a proper new game in ages. “The Witcher” franchise is unusual in that it feels like the momentum of the Henry Cavill-led series and beloved game has been treading water.
