There is little doubt that The Witcher is one of the most impressive shows right now. However, the Netflix series has also suffered from mixed reviews, mostly from critics who were able to see the first few episodes in advance. Interestingly, showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich isn't having any of the criticism from people she believes only saw one episode before writing about their reaction.
Hissrich took to Twitter to blast critics who have penned lazy reviews about The Witcher. Take a look at her tweet below.
"Many people have sweetly written me, upset about the #Witcher reviews. Know this: Who do I care about? 'Professional' critics who watched one episode and skipped ahead? Or REAL fans who watched all eight in one day, and are starting their rewatch?" Hissrich wrote before adding, "I am f--king THRILLED."
She certainly has a point about that. It sounds like Hissrich is more concerned about what fans have to say about The Witcher than the opinion of critics who haven't seen the entire show before writing their reviews.
Right now, The Witcher appears to be doing well with fans who are delighted with the way the show has adapted Andrzej Sapkowski's books. Although it has received some mixed reviews, there are more people who are pleased with what is happening in the adaptation. Needless to say, we are already looking forward to the second season of the Netflix series.
The first season of The Witcher is currently streaming on Netflix.
