Inspired by the original series of novels by author Andrzej Sapkowski - which unfolds across a number of years - Netflix's adaptation will unfold across an even longer period of time in order to fully explore each character's backstory, according to showrunner Lauren S. Hissrich.

While it's still early days, many critics have already viewed the first five episodes of the show ahead of its official release, and have taken to social media to voice their opinion. And the verdict so far has been positive. Check out some of the spoiler-free first-impressions right here.
