Liam Hemsworth in The Witcher SE4

When news broke that Henry Cavill was stepping down from his lead role as Geralt in The Witcher, fans were concerned about what it meant for the future of the show.

Netflix announced that Liam Hemsworth would take over, donning the trademark icy blonde wig to take the fantasy drama forward for two more seasons in a move that divided fans given Henry’s popularity in the role.

The fourth season of The Witcher has now landed, and it’s safe to say critics have mixed views on how it measures up, mainly revolving around whether or not Liam has pulled off the role.

Here’s a round-up of what they had to say…

The Guardian (2/5)

“The replacement that Netflix has chosen for lead actor Henry Cavill is utterly lacking in his predecessor’s likability. The ex-Neighbours actor is a scowling lunk who brings a wildly uneven vibe to this fantasy drama [...] Alas, no amount of wounded grunting can detract from the fact that Hemsworth, bless his pleather britches, is no Henry Cavill.”
