That is also shorter than the amount of time it would take to listen to the hit song "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher," which is also featured in the series.
Whether or not this timeline gambit effective is a question for another time, but for now it's given Witcher fans (witchies?) a pretty puzzle to parse until Netflix releases Season 2.
Based on a series of bestselling books that have also spawned a popular game, this season of "The Witcher" is burdened by a general stiffness, from the performances to the dialogue.
Once you get past its gray surface, "The Witcher" turns out to be delightfully unpretentious, reveling in its pulpiness and occasionally poking fun at its stoic hero with preposterously large muscles.

The Witcher may seem like the classic "turn it on and do something else" sort of show, but if you do this, you'll walk away and come back feeling deeply confused by everything that's happening.

Shifting from third-person to first-person and from high fantasy to... well... cyberpunk, Cyberpunk 2077 still looks like it's brimming with some of the same underlying ideas that made the most recent Witcher so special.
There's a handful of sequences in The Witcher 3 when the player takes control of Ciri—and she's a twirling, slashing, teleporting superhero who makes Geralt look about as agile as a scarred lump of modeling clay.
If Port Blacksand were to translate to a modern video game of a high budget, you'd likely be looking at another Witcher 20053 Novigrad—only much murkier, and more likely to leave you dead in a gutter.
The Witcher may depict great and important events in a fictional history, but what this first season is about is how we experience history, and how illusory is any sense of control or foreknowledge that we possess.

The Tesla founder and CEO has the "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher," the show&aposs breakout viral song, stuck in his head, and it looks like it&aposs been that way for at least a week.
The Witcher fits the pattern that we see in cinema, where blockbuster movies (see: Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice) that get panned critically go on to make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office.
All of which brings us back to The Witcher, and the way many of our biggest TV shows have moved from relatively straightforward A-to-B storytelling to jumbled Z-to-J-to-X-to-C storytelling.
Netflix is available in 190 countries, and The Witcher — based both on a popular Polish book series and its video game counterpart from a Polish game studio — was made available in multiple languages, helping its global appeal.
I've filled my house with sleeping sound machines, to block the battles of The Witcher in the living room while my children snooze, or to let my husband sneak into the bedroom if he's been working late.
After nearly dying at the hands of a djinn, Yennefer and Geralt hook up, bringing an episode of chemistry to fruition and kicking off a romance that also burns bright in the books Witcher is based on.
During filming of Netflix's new fantasy-action series The Witcher, star Henry Cavill's workouts were apparently so intense and his bulk so massive that his muscles began wearing down his tough leather costumes at a rapid pace.
As such, it's the first time readers were ever introduced not only to Geralt, the mutant, monster-hunting Witcher himself, and his lute-toting semi-regular companion, but also the city of Novigrad, where the above scene unfolds.
The Witcher 3 was one of the finest role-playing games of the last decade, and CD Projekt Red seem intent on creating a worthy follow-up — even if it takes the genre in some very different directions.
Titles like Grand Theft Auto and Assassin's Creed helped usher in a wave of open-world games, while role-playing games such as Fallout or The Witcher 3 introduced crafting and survival elements to a huge new audience.
From its briny beginnings on a frigid seafloor to its snow-capped climax atop a Skellige mountain crest, "The Last Wish" is among my favorite quests of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt: so good, I've played it twice.

I suppose we, dead baby included, can't be as lucky as Henry Cavill's leather, only experiencing The Witcher in tiny doses and getting to do so while being worn to death by the mortal hug of Cavill's thighs.
"The Witcher," which debuted on December 20, was the third most in-demand original streaming series in the US for the week of December 18 to December 24, according to data provided to Business Insider by Parrot Analytics.
As a fan of CD Projekt RED's Witcher games, albeit primarily the third, and subsequently Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski's novels that inspired it, I'm pleased as punch to see the franchise earn a Netflix adaptation, as reported last week.
Generally speaking, it's harder for luxury brands to get their own websites up to speed, as they don't have the same amount of customer data as a third-party retailer like Net-a-Porter or Neiman Marcus, Witcher said.
Things didn't improve quite as much when loading a Witcher 3 save point from near the end of the game, but it did drop from more than a minute and half to just a little more than a minute.
Like Amazon and Walmart, though, Target treats the category as a "loss-leader," meaning that its purpose is more about drawing people into the stores on a regular basis than strictly sales, according to Forrester retail analyst Brendan Witcher.
While games with explicit nudity and sex are not banned from Steam (as seen by titles like The Witcher 3, South Park: The Stick of Truth, and Conan Exiles), Valve does forbid the sale of "pornography" on its platform.
Fans of the game might identify Geralt's signature sword-fighting-meets-magic style in Cavill's performance, but the star didn't just play the games to learn how to fight as the witcher: he found inspiration in other fantasy fiction.
Franchise plays like The Witcher and movies like 6 Underground are key to Netflix growing internationally, and they could represent a big part of Netflix's future in a year where competition from major players will start to heat up.
Having franchises with big stars that can lead to spinoffs, an array of licensed merchandise, and bring in new subscribers is what the company is striving for and seems to think it's found in The Witcher and 6 Underground.

Netflix's version of the story is based on the original series of fantasy novels, which were written by the Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, and features the large Superman actor Henry Cavill playing the equally large witcher, Geralt of Rivia.

His plans change when he joins forces with Princess Ciri (Freya Allan), a Chosen One type who requires his protection from treacherous evil, but proves a quick study in learning his "witcher" techniques and gaining power of her own.
On Friday afternoon, it was the two streaming services commanding the con's attention and forcing fans to choose between getting their fill of The Boys and Carnival Row, or The Witcher and the long-awaited return of the Dark Crystal saga.
He's someone players of CD Projekt RED's excellent 2015 role-playing game The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the third game based on Sapkowski's fiction, should be familiar with, as he plays a role in a few of its central story quests.
Imagine a system dead center between the real-time action of The Witcher 3 and the turn-based group encounters of older FF titles, where the player must manage more than one avatar's moves: That's how it feels to play.
Don't get me wrong: it's perfectly playable, and Overwatch's cartoonish art style works great even with the lower fidelity graphics (as opposed to, say, the Witcher 3 port), but "it has basic functionality" should be a low bar to clear.
It's also true that Hearthstone's massive success has spawned a litany of digital card game clones, such as Gwent for fans of The Witcher and Elder Scrolls: Legends for residents of Skyrim, and Valve fans expect a bit more originality.
"Amazon is leveraging what others like Target and Walmart have already figured out: that grocery is one of the highest frequency purchase categories in retail," Forrester analyst Brendan Witcher said, adding that this should be a red flag for Amazon competitors.
I've found a renewed desire to play huge fantasy RPGs, delving back into Majora's Mask on 3DS, finishing up the DLC for The Witcher 3 on console, and even digging out 1999's isometric classic Planescape: Torment for another run-through.

They could flicker like candlelight when you're hunkering down in a tavern in Witcher 3, or flash red when you get ganked in Star Wars: Battlefront II.That's the kind of extravagance I imagined when I bought my eight Hue lights.
Netflix is developing a new English-language drama series based on The Witcher, the novels written by Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski, but which most of you probably know thanks to the trilogy of role-playing games developed by CD Projekt RED.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt These games were made by relatively small teams, but the lessons of Telltale — or at least the deep appreciation and enthusiasm for story the company shows — is starting to trickle down into blockbusters as well.
That's part of what kept me from The Witcher 3's expansions for so long, it's prevented me from finishing other games in the past, and that annoying sense of dread immediately overwhelmed my return to Destiny earlier this week.
But there's something about Gwent right now that's just so damn attractive (enough that since getting into it, I've also started The Witcher 2—thanks, Games with Gold—and have bought Wild Hunt too, for when I'm done with it).
It might have something to do with the fantastical but grounded world in which it's set—The Witcher isn't a series where stuff just happens, adhering as it does to its own logic, its own societal hierarchies and geographical politics.
It's mentioned more explicitly in The Witcher 3 than it is The Last Wish, but to prevent the rampaging spirit from killing Yennefer, Geralt wishes his fate to be tied with the sorceress' own—and a djinn cannot harm its master.
The Witcher 203: Wild Hunt (2015) CD Projekt Red's 2015 swords-and-magic RPG is, in my estimation, one of the finest fall-feeling (the wiki tells me the game's events actually kick off in May) walking simulators out there.
Not only did they knock The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt out of the park—I'm still thinking about how I screwed up my romantic choice—but they've managed to shame every developer when it comes to releasing DLC, too.
Blood and Wine, the second and final major story expansion to 33's The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, following the immortality-ain't-nuthin-to-fuck-wit vibes of previous DLC Hearts of Stone, is out now and, basically, it's amazing.
Mainstream "mature" games, like The Witcher 3 and BioWare's stable of Mass Effect and Dragon Age titles, take great pleasure and put a great emphasis on their indelicate-but-charming romantic subplots with a variety of potential in-game partners.
"Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 1): 67%What critics said: "The Witcher, for all its convoluted inanity, manages to buck expectations of female characters in a TV fantasy series simply by writing them the way men in the genre normally are.
If you own the virtual reality game Beat Saber on PC, there's actually a fan-made "level" set to "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" that you can download and play for free (provided you own the game, of course).
For years, people have read their way with, or even spent hours playing as the witcher — a bounty-hunter with a penchant for defeating monsters, who often keeps the peace for humans who don't exactly welcome him with open arms.
Let's have Henry Cavill explain the pure beauty of the fight himself: All this is to say, if you enjoyed slicing people in half in the video game, The Witcher might be worth checking out for its fight scenes alone.
Accessing your Steam saves is exactly as easy as it is on The Witcher 3, and while Divinity doesn't quite map to a controller as naturally, it's still a great option to have for such a deep and engrossing game.
But I'm also sure that most people didn't even know it was a possibility until recently, and I'm hopeful that The Witcher 3's high-profile addition of the feature helps drive its adoption across Switch games in the future.
She also talked about her original pitch for the series (no, not the one she posted on Reddit), the grueling 178-day production, and why the show&aposs catchy viral song, "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher," is actually "horrific."
It only releases numbers when a show or film breaks a milestone of some sort — like "The Witcher" and the 76 million households who "chose to watch" the series (meaning they watched for at least two minutes, indicating an intentional choice).
The shows have also struggled to stand out in a crowded TV landscape, with mega-hits like Disney Plus&apos "The Mandalorian" and Netflix&aposs "The Witcher" being the most in-demand shows among audiences, according to data company Parrot Analytics.
The 21-inch MacBook Pro wants to be your 22 sidekick for school or work stuff, music and video projects, and your binge-watching sessions of The Witcher, and you can grab the Intel Core i2799.99, 163TB model for $216,22.

Netflix&aposs fantasy series "The Witcher" surpassed Disney Plus&apos live-action "Star Wars" series, "The Mandalorian," as the most in-demand streaming series in the US  over the past week, according to data provided to Business Insider by Parrot Analytics.
It's as if D.B. Weiss and David Benioff, clearly out of steam after showrunning that final season of Game of Thrones, found a way to sell off their unused, undercooked ideas under the table to the powers that produce The Witcher.
When I realized that I felt bad for the baby not because it was dead, but because it couldn't even rest in peace without being talked plot at, I knew that The Witcher had nothing more to actually say to me.
Melvin Witcher Jr. got a first glimpse of Patrice Moss in April 2015 during an Easter play performed at the First Baptist Church in Glenarden, Md. "She was sitting right in front of me, and man, she was beautiful," he said.
Mr. Witcher got a first glimpse of Ms. Moss in April 2015 during an Easter play performed at the First Baptist Church in Glenarden, Md. "She was sitting right in front of me, and man, she was beautiful," he said.
Mr. Witcher approached Ms. Moss again, and they spoke a bit longer, long enough for him to ask her out on a first date to the Bone Fish Grill in Crofton, Md. Starting that night, Ms. Moss began paying attention.
The principle of sticking to his strengths and the time constraints of working on the Witcher books contributed to Sapkowski's refusal to originally collaborate with CD Projekt RED, when they began work on what would become 2007's original game.
They'll be joined by a number of third-party titles, including older ports like The Witcher 3, as well as Doom Eternal, one of the rare blockbuster games to launch simultaneously on the Switch and other platforms when it releases on November 22nd.
Indeed, her own creator has previously seen her as something of a monster, a savage killer with supernatural abilities—and to be let loose with that, in some supplementary story that doesn't overly impact on events of The Witcher 3, could be incredible.
But what I can't do, what I'll never be able to do, is play the original The Witcher—the adventure that started it all, and Polish developer CD Projekt RED's debut production no less, that celebrates its tenth anniversary in October this year.
Witcher School organiser Piotr Kucharski said the scenario in the game takes place 200 years before the events of Sapkowski's books and is told in episodes, with players often returning to develop their characters and find out how the story has evolved.
This episode was actually recorded more than a week ago, but I didn't get time to edit it until after Disrupt SF. So much has happened since then — like "The Witcher"'s showrunner leaving Twitter and Cavill apparently departing the role of Superman.
Once the watery preamble of the quest is over, Geralt—the player-controlled witcher of the title—faces off against a crackling, cackling djinn amid the wreckage of an ocean-faring vessel now, improbably and magnificently, perched hundreds of feet above sea level.
Really, though, pick any popular modern game from last year — Bloodborne, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and Call of Duty Black Ops 3, for instance — and you'll find integral activities revolving around dismembering opponents, or mowing them down with gunfire by the hundreds.
If you've heard me talk about The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or The Witcher 3 or Dragon's Dogma, you know that, when done right, I love it when games ask me to spend time getting prepared for my adventures.
Or: you find a way to set up two PS4s under your TV, so that you needn't worry quite so much about deleting GTA V, that Metal Gear game you're never going to play, and The Witcher 3, because you're an idiot. Hello!
Hell, I don't even like The Witcher 3 but I was disappointed if only because I'd have to wait a few more months to finally dig into what is sure to be one of the most talked about games of the year.
Though the tryout didn't go as well as he would have hoped, the actor, who stars in Netflix's upcoming sci-fi series The Witcher, said the feedback he received helped him to improve his craft and set him up for a successful career.
"We knew that we wanted to adapt The Last Wish, because those are really the stories that develop the Continent the best and develop the world, the politics, the kingdoms, all of that, and what is a witcher," Schmidt Hissrich told Mashable.
Based on a long-running and well-loved tabletop role-playing game series, this is the studio's big followup to Witcher 22020, a massive, open-ended role-playing game designed to immerse you in a complex world and carry you through it.
Every week, Parrot Analytics provides Business Insider with a list of the nine most in-demand original TV shows on streaming services in the US.Disney Plus&apos "The Mandalorian" passed Netflix&aposs "The Witcher" for the top spot on this week&aposs list.
Sony Pictures Television and Hivemind, the production company behind Amazon's "The Expanse" and Netflix's  adaptation of "The Witcher," are planning to create a new live-action series based on "Final Fantasy XIV" — a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game that first launched in 2013.
Hissrich told Business Insider that her original pitch was to have Ciri as the narrator of the series and it would have followed her where she is in the book "The Lady of the Lake," the final book in the main "Witcher" saga.
As noted, the end of "Game of Thrones" left a void that premium services are eagerly attempting to fill, the drawback being that mounting such fare -- and "The Witcher" certainly looks expensive -- represents no small investment, compounding the pain if it goes wrong.
In fact, "Toss a Coin" is perhaps best thought of as a musical theater number — because like many musicals, The Witcher employs a conceit in which the time period of its setting and the style of the production itself don't need to align.
It's not a terrible idea, given that The Witcher has already shown that it can make the jump from book to video game, and has a wide fan base across the two mediums that will likely be enthusiastic about the new Netflix show.
There isn't any actual game to show off yet, but the Kickstarter page points to a team of veteran developers whose combined credits include The Witcher, Gears of War: Judgment, Pillars of Eternity, Wasteland 2, and Torment: Tides of Numenara (among others).
But OutRun 2 is one of those few games that always puts me in a happy place—see also The Secret of Monkey Island, The Witcher 3, and, well, probably some other games, but we haven't all day to consider these things.
We played some amazing titles—20 of them made VICE's best-of-the-year chart, with our top three of Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, Bloodborne, and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt all legitimate contenders for lofty positions on any "all-time" list.
In fact, when Lauren Schmidt was in the early phases of plotting out her television adaptation of The Witcher, she watched Dunkirk, in which the World War II evacuation of that harbor is told from three spatiotemporal perspectives (land, sea, air), and had an epiphany.
In our brief time with it, we were able to play Fortnite Battle Royale, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, and The Witcher III: Wild Hunt, with a few connection, latency, and peripheral hiccups here and there but a mostly stable experience overall while using the Shadow Box.
If you were to Google image search the Polish cult favorite Witcher saga right this moment, you would see a litany of books that look strikingly similar to the Song Of Ice And Fire series we all know gave us HBO's Game Of Thrones.
Where Mass Effect defers to giving us the freedom to decide the fate of the galaxy or our friendships and Minecraft offers an endless array of moment-to-moment choice, The Witcher 2 isa political cage that imprisons almost every possible action in the game.
The whole reason I want everything ported to Switch is for this kind of radical convenience, and while it's cool games like The Witcher 3 have found some deeply compromised ways to show up Switch, I'd much rather play those games at real frame rates.
And I'm not alone—The Witcher 3 has sold somewhere around 10 million copies, meaning that there are a whole lot of people in the same slightly rickety boat as me, every one of them about to bid adieu to their own White Wolf.
Disney is going all in on Disney Plus TV projects"The Mandalorian" was a rousing success for Disney Plus and was the most "in-demand" TV series in the world (before being dethroned by "The Witcher" in December), according to data company Parrot Analytics.
Much like The Witcher 3, Cyberpunk 2077, is a huge, sprawling RPG that gives players some degree of agency, choices that they can make to impact the world in different ways, and which will give different players who make different choices meaningfully different experiences.
But Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, showrunner for Netflix's The Witcher, wanted to bring the storylines of the series' female leads — Princess Cirilla of Sintra, or Ciri, and the sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg (played by relative newcomers Freya Allan and Anya Chalotra, respectively) — to the fore. 
If you're a fan of The Witcher – whether you grew up with Andrzej Sapkowski's book series published in Poland in the '90s, read the comic book adaptation, or devoured every last side quest in the games – Geralt of Rivia is a truly iconic character.
But Henry Cavill, who plays Geralt in Netflix's adaptation of The Witcher, has a strong handle on this rugged, misunderstood, powerful character, having read the original series of short stories and novels by Polish writer Sapkowski, and even battled a few monsters in the games.
While it's unlikely to capture the lightning in a bottle that was Witcher 3's near-perfect role-playing excellence, Cyberpunk 2077 will still undoubtedly be worth paying attention to when it launches for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia on April 16.
Those three heroes are Yennefer (Anya Chalotra), a sex-positive sorceress with emotional issues; Ciri (Freya Allan), a petite teenage princess on the run from southern marauders; and the Witcher, properly known as Geralt of Rivia (Henry Cavill), a mutant monster-hunter-for-hire.
In addition to the meme-inducing earworm, Netflix is releasing a full, three-hour-plus score for the series from composers Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli for fans who want to listen to songs that aren't "Toss a Coin to Your Witcher" for whatever reason.
Since Geralt and Ciri are together by the end of Season 1, and Yenn isn't far away in Sodden, perhaps The Witcher Season 2 won't have to do as much timey-wimey stuff to get all of their stories into a short eight hours.
Even among Netflix's shows, though, The Witcher in particular feels designed for a weekly release, given the literal "monster-of-the-week" style plotting that (at least for part of the season) sees Geralt go somewhere and fight something in fairly self-contained chunks.
And it says that counting the first month of a release (in the case of The Witcher, it is apparently extrapolating, since the show just started) means that stuff that debuted in January and stuff that started running late in 2019 are weighted equally.
It&aposs an impressive start for "The Witcher" considering the popularity of "The Mandalorian," which last month dethroned Netflix&aposs "Stranger Things" as the most in-demand streaming series in the US, breaking its 21-week streak at the top of Parrot Analytics&apos charts.
Henry Cavill confirms he channelled a 'Game of Thrones' character for 'The Witcher' Leia holding a lightsaber is the only thing I see in this 'Star Wars' trailer Watch Bon Appétit's Claire Saffitz make gourmet Warheads John Mulaney thinks mistletoe deserves to be cancelled
CD Projekt RED (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)The company did not respond to my request for comment, but the studio is known for going above and beyond in the past, so I wouldn't rule out the possibility of them taking advantage of it.
