A new Netflix series has a shockingly low audience score!
On Christmas Day, Netflix released highly-anticipated prequel series The Witcher: Blood Origin, and while many people were expecting it to be a gift, it seems the series is more like a lump of coal. As noted by Paul Tassi of Forbes, the show now has the lowest audience score on Rotten Tomatoes in Netflix's history, with a dismal 8%.
With audience reviews, it's important to keep in mind that fans have a tendency to review bomb shows, so it's important to look at the picture as a whole. Audience scores alone just aren't a great metric to go by, but it's worth noting that professional reviews for Blood Origin aren't a whole lot better. As of this writing, the show's Tomatometer score currently sits at 38% with 24 professional reviewers having weighed in.
It will be interesting to see what impact this reception might have on the franchise as a whole. The third season for The Witcher is currently planned for release next summer. There's a lot of anticipation surrounding Season 3, but it's somewhat bittersweet, as the new season will see the departure of Henry Cavill. The role of Geralt will be taken over by Liam Hemsworth in Season 4, and fans have been quite unhappy with the news.
