The Witcher (Season 1)

Henry Cavill's portrayal of Geralt of Rivia in Netflix's first season was a cultural phenomenon: a physically imposing, morally ambiguous monster hunter navigating a world where humans are often more monstrous than the creatures they fear. The nonlinear narrative was disorienting for some, but Cavill's total commitment to the role — he read all the Sapkowski novels and lobbied for the casting — made Geralt an instant icon.
