The Witcher - Sirens Of The Deep Review

The provided text is a review of the Netflix animated film The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, an adaptation of Andrzej Sapkowski's short story "A Little Sacrifice." The reviewer notes that while Netflix aimed to course-correct its Witcher universe with this standalone story, it still deviates significantly from the source material. The film's plot, focusing on Geralt and Jaskier investigating a sea monster and a mermaid princess, is criticized for being more akin to The Little Mermaid than a true Witcher tale. However, the review praises the animation style and the return of Doug Cockle as the voice of Geralt. Despite these positives, the reviewer suggests Cockle's casting highlights the problematic handling of Geralt's portrayal within the broader Netflix adaptation, particularly with Liam Hemsworth's upcoming debut.
