Season 4
8 Episodes
5.5/10
I watched the new season this week at home. The Netflix recap for Seasons 1-3 curiously omitted Henry Cavill as Gerald and focuses mainly on Ciri. As I have stated earlier, I have not followed any video games or other content out there, I’m watching this series blind and as it is presented.
It immediately starts off with a slow visual introduction of Liam Hemsworth as the new Gerald, with him engaging in an action scene fighting monsters. From there it jumps into the future with a storyteller named Striburg narrating Gerald’s adventures to a young girl named Nimue. This scene looks to connect things to the ‘King Arthur’ legends.
From there it goes into Gerald on his quest to rescue Ciri from the events that ended last season. Yennifer is off on her own quest and Ciri is out there running around with a gang of thieves.
Lawrence Fishburne debuts in Episode 2 as Emil Regis. It’s revealed on why Ciri is so important regarding her powers and abilities.
Episode 6 is one of the highlights of the season with a big Sorcery battle between Yenniffer’s group and Vilgefortz group.
Episode 8 has some more action scenes that are impressive. The story from the first episode returns and Nimue is now grown up. Her story looks to continue into season 5.
Gerald is knighted by Queen Meve, which complicates things for him. Yennifer continues her quest for Vilgefortz which will continue into season 5. Bonhart catches up to the Rats and Ciri and he does a great job taking them out. Ciri ends the season in Bonhart clutches for his bounty.
The season ends with Emperor Emhyr looking onto an unseen creature he plans on using to take out Gerald.
Overall, it was a decent season which starts the process of closing out all the open storylines from prior seasons. Liam did a good job with Gerald, it took a couple of episodes at the start to get used to him, but he fits in perfectly. His only drawback is his voice is softer than Henry Cavill’s.
Season 5 which will be the last season will debut at the end of 2026.
Looking forward to it.
For the Incells, Yennifer builds her a team of Female Sorceress’ from characters who have debuted since Season one.
For the Gay Agenda trackers, there is some BW/WW Lesbian PDA thruout the season.
