Finally. I have absolutely no idea who these guys are, but it's nice to be able to visualise them in the roles at least.

I agree with the sentiment, but I hope it doesn't go too hard on the Witcher vibes. That show, was...well not good.

There's a very narrow line that I hope they can tread that both tells an engaging and interesting story whilst also keeping it fun and approachable. I think the Witcher failed to walk that line.
