I really enjoyed it. Truthfully, the show is interesting despite Henry Cavill and around him. He was a non-entity this season except for the scenes of him, Ciri and Yen playing happy families. He's so unsexy and the show doesn't seem to want us to find Geralt sexy?

We can only hope that Liam Hemsworth actually gets his kit off and we get some sexualized Geralt. Because this Ken doll shit is useless. What's the point of being Expensive Xena if you're not going to at least have sexiness????

I'm just happy that I've seen Cavill's tits this season and not Anya Chalotra's. After S2 the bar is pretty low. I like Cavill (especially his fight scenes) in the role, though, and Liam Hemsworth... like, you have to try hard to find someone with less innate charisma than Cavill, but I feel like they did.

That is true. Honestly, though, whomever said we weren't going to have Geralt bathing all the time was a moron and needs to be fired.

taking baths is like 90% of geralt's personality. this is an outrage.

[screamingintune]

we did get another bath scene, albeit briefly, in S3. like just the fact that Cavill took off his shirt already makes it better than S2

[smegma]

thank god. i'm glad henry cavill knows his place: in a bathtub with his tits out.

This gif alone is more fun than all of S2 was

Expensive Xena

Well, that’s one way to get me interested in a show.

[screamingintune]

the first season gave me major Xena vibes

after that, not so much

[dianakingston]

This show takes itself way too seriously to be any kind of Xena, honestly

[ahkna]

It's not fun enough OR sexy enough to be Xena. Xena had more sex appeal at noon on Saturday than this whole show.

Geralt canonically isn't supposed to be sexy, or very visibly emotional. He just happened to be eye candy in w3 game because CDpr wanted it that way.

Which is great in a book because readers can put their own visual choices and personality on him. It doesn't work as well in live action media because watching a ugly man do a bunch of stuff completely dispassionately is fucking boring.

The second part of your comment had me snorting lol so true

Henry seems to be against being seen as a hot piece of meat, which is fine and his right, but also like. He's not a good actor, his hotness is the main draw.
