That said, it's awesome fun for those of us old enough to contextualize the content. There's gore and intense violence that would terrify a young child and probably still give a teen nightmares, and messages about sex and the value of being 'attractive' that aren't appropriate for those who haven't yet gotten comfortable with their own sexuality and how they see the value of people in the world. I'm mostly screening for assault and how graphic the depiction is.Īll in all, much better than Game of Thrones, both in its moral treatment of violence and character development. Including the orgy, sex is only depicted on screen like 3x or 4x times. Given the predicament Geralt and Jaskier are in when they encounter the orgy, it gives the scene a comedic undertone. There is an orgy scene, the participants are under a spell. I am on Episode 4 of Season 2 and there has been no on screen sexual assault other than mentioned above. Geralt is delicted naked, in bed with a prostitute. A wizard "decorates" his tower with an illusion of naked men and women in a 'Garden of Eden' vibe. IF you are a person/ family who believes depictions of sex and nudity are for adults only or no one ever, this show is not for you. In the first episode when we meet Jennifer, it is implied the physical assault she was experiencing was going to turn into sexual assault, but she magics away. This is graphic and is depicted person by person (a total of five or so?). On the trigger warning side, people commit suicide during a city being sacked by an army. The battle scenes are bloody but no one death is lingered on. There is a decent amount of violence and sex. Some have bigoted beliefs about elves being evil, brutish or un-trustworthy Some believe stories about the elves giving up their land willingly. All the while you see humans in the world all have different takes. The Elves are minorities in lands they used to live before the Conjunction. The show addresses relevant topics like racism and colonialism. Jennifer's character arc from selfish and arrogant into what she is becoming is satisfying. He is contrasted with Jennifer, who does not care about the consequences of her choices and is focused on herself and her own power. He cares about the effect of his choices. He consistently makes efforts to figure out what is going on in any given situation. He does not kill intelligent creatures unless he can help it. At its heart The Witcher is a story about moral choices and the butterfly effect our choices have on our relationships and the world at large. Every person Geralt meets has an angle, a story to tell him to try to get what they want and achieve their own goals. I like the way that power is explored in the Witcher. Female characters have strong roles and some members of the cast are people of color themes of courage, teamwork, and perseverance are illustrated in magical quests aimed at righting wrongs. Language includes "f-k," "s-t," "son of a bitch," "damn," and "hell." Characters drink beer in bars but don't get drunk potions play a part in the story, used for suicide and abortion, among other purposes. Romance plays a part in some storylines and sexual images are frequent: characters have sex that includes nudity, come upon an orgy at a party, and non-sexual nudity (breasts and buttocks) occurs in a magical illusion. Some characters have otherworldly powers and can cause magical destruction, but the show's sympathies clearly lie with characters who are downtrodden and despised such as Witchers and Elves. Sexual violence is referred to, but not seen on-screen. There's even more gore in the human battles, with soldiers fighting on the battleground and grievous injuries: stabbings, slashings, decapitations, throats are slit, a man's head is halved with an axe with bright-red spouting blood and gore. The monster battles are righteously scary, with giant creatures equipped with scary faces, claws, unearthly long arms, and the like when main Witcher Geralt ( Man of Steel's Henry Cavill) fights them, there's dark blood, scary music, hacked off limbs, and visuals of the dead bodies of monsters. As in the game, the action is set in a magical world in which "mutant" characters called Witchers are able to slay monsters. Parents need to know that The Witcheris a series based on the book series and popular video games of the same name.
