10 Netflix Shows EVERYONE Should Binge-Watch
4. The Witcher
Whether it's through its dark and gritty take on fantasy, or Henry Cavill's emergence as the internet's true meme lord, The Witcher has already established itself as one of the most binged shows on Netflix following its release in December 2019.
Taking place on the mythical lands of the Continent, The Witcher follows the story of Geralt of Rivia, a blessed monster-hunter who spends his days slaying beasts and being mildly irked by his jester friend, Jaskier. During the course of the season, it turns out that Geralt's destiny is linked with the ever-magical Princess Ciri and cleverly joins together three different storylines into one big timeline.
The unique storyline and extensive marketing has already netted the show a viral music hit, and the original author of the Witcher series of books, Andrzej Sapkowski, has echoed the accolades for Cavill in particular as Geralt.
The show's seventy-six million views in its first month set a record for the launch of a series on Netflix, the show had recently begun filming its second season and the popularity of the show has already helped boost sales of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt up to 554% better than where they were a year prior.
