Forgot to mention before, but watched The Witcher.
Pretty good.
I have the books, but haven't read them yet.
Played the first two RP games (have the third, but haven't played it yet), so I was familiar with the basic story.
Worth watching.
The Witcher was excellent and I am currently reading the first book in the series. I love Sapkowski's style and both are nuanced and differ enough that it doesn't seem all that redundant.
For those unfamiliar, it is a fantasy story based around a particular "Witcher" Geralt of Rivia (played wonderfully by Henry Cavill) -- who is a sort of mutant monster-hunter-for-hire working in a fantasy world where there is great need for his services-- and while it does have some of the typical elements of the genre this one shows a rare intelligence and sense of morality as Geralt often finds that "monsters" are misunderstood or flat-out created by the same folks willing to pay him a bounty to kill them.
Fans of Game of Thrones and the ilk will probably love it. I did.
