The Witcher Season 2 - First Thoughts
It's 2022! We look back at the craptacular last year (or two) and wonder/worry/hope about what's to come next. THEN it's Game of Thrones Headlines! George RR Martin "begged" for a 10-season show, and Peter Dinklage goes full-blast on fans who didn't like how GoT ended. FINALLY, we talk about The Witcher Season 2! There was way too much going on to get it all in a first viewing, so we'll be back later to dive deep into each episode's part of this glimpse of what could very well be a future cataclysim... unless Geralt, Ciri, Yennefer, and Jaskier can work together to stop it!
