Netflix’s fantasy epic “The Witcher” may have swapped out its leading man for the role of Geralt of Rivia, but in doing so it’s costing them more than it used to.

Idk why Netflix continues to fuck up in this exact way over and over again. Did they not learn from Marco Polo, which they produced over a decade ago to be their version of Game of Thrones? At the time, it was one of the most expensive TV shows ever made, but nobody watched it and nobody remembers it because it was all spectacle and no substance. Nobody I know who liked the Netflix Witcher is planning on watching Season 4, and no amount of budget is going to fix that.
At the risk of being pedantic.
“The Making of Star Trek” came out when the show was still in production. It’s interesting to see how they used low budget practical effects and smart writing to produce a classic.
Worth a read.
Why would that be pedantic?
