Once again another off the mark series from Netflix. I have long given up my subscription but caught a little of this, at a motel, whilst of on holiday. Well, enough at least to know that I wont be watching more than the first episode.
The Witcher: Blood Origin seems more concerned, to me at least, with playing woke politics, rather than with its actual business, which is to be entertaining. A good cast can't save this series from coming across as shallow, motivated by something other than a desire to tell a compelling story.
In summary, yes, companies can push woke-ness all they like but the real question is, will people pay to watch? If I'm anything to go by, the answers a resounding "no".
