2019 has less than two weeks to become the past, in the film and television circle will gradually fall silent, to welcome the new year, Netflix recently launched the finale of the new drama "Demon Hunter" the first season, with Netflix's domineering style, a full season of release, is bound to be watched by people.
"Demon Hunter" is adapted from the fantasy novel of Polish writer Andrei Sparkowski, but it is familiar with it because it originated from the single-player game "The Witcher" series, which is also adapted from the novel and has long been famous in the game industry, and is a well-known masterpiece.
Since its inception, the total sales of the series have exceeded 40 million, and more than 800 related awards have been won, of which the latest work "The Witcher 3" is one of the most highly rated works in the PC game.
It is worth mentioning that in 2014, the Polish president gave "The Witcher 2" as a national gift to the then US President Barack Obama, with such a prominent background, as a connected "Demon Hunter" is certainly worth pursuing and looking forward to.
"Demon Hunter" is co-starred by Henry Cavill, Freya Allen, Millie Brady, Maanna Benling, Anya Chalotla, etc., the most famous of which is the male protagonist Henry Cavill, as the actor who once played dc superman, he has a handsome appearance and a strong physique, although at the beginning of the series, many people questioned his temperament and the role in the game did not match, but later the makeup was taken out, and the shape was enough to be stunning.
Now that I have watched the main drama, I firmly believe in the casting ability of the producer, not only the appearance is similar, but even the deep voice of the protagonist, Henry Cavill has also made great efforts to perform it very well.
In addition to Henry Cavill and a new generation of actors and actresses, the series also invited the famous director Eric Sakharov, as a senior director, he has participated in the filming of many high-scoring series, including "Game of Thrones", "Atlantic Empire" and "Black Sail" and other 9-point productions, which can be described as very powerful in front of and behind the scenes.
The plot of "Demon Hunter" is not about the story of the PC game "The Witcher" series, but from other chapters of the original novel, but the protagonist of the story is still unchanged, or the white wolf with a white head, golden eyes, and the weathered white wolf that can be seen from the face - Geralt (Henry Cavill).
The first episode of the series unfolds in a two-line narrative, the first protagonist White Wolf of course appears first, and comes up to contribute the first human-demon war, henry Cavill played by the white wolf emitted hormones are almost directly on the screen, a few rounds of the monster Chichimo a sword to kill.
He then arrives in town, intending to exchange the monster for a reward, but unfortunately the goods are not right, the mayor wants the ghoul, but after the little girl's introduction, he comes to another character who is going to bid a reward- the wizard Strigob (Russ Mickelson).
The latter has powerful magical abilities, even if he lives in the place where he casts an illusion, he does not ask the white wolf to hunt the monster, but to kill a cursed woman, as a demon hunter who only deals with monsters, of course, he refuses and goes away.
On the other side of the story line is also cutting at this time, one of the heroines of Sintra Princess Cirila (Fleia Allen) officially debuted, but the good times are not long, before the princess grows up and inherits the throne of her grandmother, Sintra is bloodied by the Army of Nefergaard.
As a princess, Cirila not only has royal blood, but also has extraordinary abilities, in order to save the last member of the royal family, the current queen at the time of death, ordered someone to escort her out of the city, and left a last word: Find Geralt of Livia, he is your destiny.
The first episode of "Demon Hunter" lasts for nearly an hour, which not only clearly explains the direction of the two male and female protagonists, but also brings three battles that make people enjoy watching.
The first is the human-demon war at the beginning of the series, the second is the battle between the armies of Sintra and Nevgaard, and the third is the white wolf's final personal battle with the mob gang.
I have to say that the series not only expounds the plot flow, special effects and battles fly together, but also has a type of men and women sitting in the seat, and Netflix has indeed contributed a wonderful work.
With the launch of the series, the scores of the relevant scoring platforms were also unbanned, and at the beginning of the broadcast, the Douban unbanned score reached 9 points. The foreign platform imdb is more than 9.9 almost perfect rating, but with the increase in the number of people participating in the evaluation, the score is gradually adjusted, the Douban score fell significantly, the current rating is 7.7 points, the number of participants is more than 5,000 people, it is estimated that the episodes and the game are larger, some game parties are not very satisfied, but the imdb is still stable at 9 points, more than 39,000 people participate in the evaluation, more worthy of reference.
The first season of "Demon Hunter" consists of 8 episodes, and the story will revolve around three protagonists, two of whom have already appeared in the first episode, and the third protagonist, Warlock Yenif (Millie Brady), will appear in the second episode.
Netflix attaches great importance to this drama, but also has great confidence, before the first season was broadcast, it renewed the second season, if the next ratings reach understanding, perhaps the plan to create seven seasons can come true, as a fan is really full of expectations.
