It would be understandable if someone else made that mistake, but the fact that even Poland’s owm US embassy says so is telling – either of their lack of knowledge on the subject or of the general idea of what Witcher is. Polish embassy has released this Facebook post, in which it states how excited it is to await for the December 20th premiere of the new Netflix show The Witcher, ”based on the popular videogame”. They have quickly fixed their mistake when it was pointed out by the readers but still, telling.

In case you enjoy Witcher and still somehow do not know this, both the show and the video games series are based on a series of fantasy novels by Andrew Sapkowski, Polish writer, written in the 1990’s. The show’s story is based on them, although the adaptation is said to be somewhat loose. Speaking of the show, some of the reviewers have already had the pleasure of seeing the first episode and most of their opinions are of a praising kind – they enjoyed the well-paced action, good acting and high-level visuals.
