The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf is a 2021 adult animated dark fantasy film focusing on the origin story of Geralt's mentor and fellow witcher Vesemir, the witcher featured in The Witcher televsion series. This is a wonderful origin story which stands on its own even if you're unfamiliar with the other witcher stories. I watched it on Netflix.

    1. As an origin story it tells you all you need to know without having seen the other show.

    1. Yes, it's an origin story -a prequel of sorts.

  6. I have tried and tried to watch the Witcher shows and for some reason can't connect with them. OMGosh, I have been to several places in my town to get a post card. I wanted one with movies on it. LOL For a tourist town I found one place. I picked the prettiest one they have. I will mail it out tomorrow with your tea. Have a nice evening.

    1. That first Witcher series seemed to depend on me already knowing about the characters and their timeline, which I did not. This one was an easier entry.

      Postcards, right?! I thought they'd be everywhere... I found some at our local independent bookstore, hoorah!

  7. Never heard of this (and we don´t have Netflix anyways) - it reminded me a bit of Captain Future with the style (but I may be like totally wrong).
