MOSCOW, 29 Jun. The network has received critical reviews for the third season of The Witcher. Henry Cavill in it tried on the snow-white wig of Geralt of Rivia for the last time. In the next issue, the image of the legendary monster hunter will be embodied by another actor — Liam Hemsworth. He is the ex-husband of Miley Cyrus and the brother of Chris Hemsworth, best known for his role as Thor in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The series is based on the books by Andrzej Sapkowski . Geralt of Rivia kills monsters for coins. He is a mutant and stronger than a common man. Because of the conversion, he does not sleep and cannot have children. People say that witchers don't feel anything at all. But one day, the girl Ciri (Freya Allan) and the sorceress Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) appear in Geralt's life. The first becomes his daughter, and the second becomes his lover. Ciri is being hunted, and Geralt is ready to do anything to save her.
«The third season was special for Geralt played by Cavill. He showed himself to be a great father, demonstrated the ability to kill monsters, weave political intrigues and proved to be a romantic. He also dances well!» — Collider author Carly Lane shares his opinion.

«Can the show do without Henry Cavill? asks Jack Seal of The Guardian. — It will hurt, but in the «Witcher» enough events to imagine life without this actor.
Bradley Russell of Total Film criticized the third season's structure. He assures that the first series set the bar too high for the rest — the rest of the episodes simply do not live up to its level.
«They tried to make a good show the best, and the efforts are obvious: more playfulness, monsters, time with the family, less politics,» the journalist argues.
The rhythm of the story, a lot of secondary characters, among which the main characters are lost — the minuses of the new series, according to Jarrod Jones from IGN. Nevertheless, the critic states: «The third season is the most powerful for Cavill as an actor.»
«Geralt doesn't have time to deal with monsters for coins. He guards Ciri, a girl he swore to protect from monsters who want to use her for their own purposes,» writes Jen Lennon of the AV Club.
Third the season was divided into two parts. The first one was released on June 29, the rest of the series will be released on July 27.
It was previously reported that a Russian company bought the rights to a new film by Hayao Miyazaki.
