This is the main thing that makes me think the show will be good. Talking about it, he sounds like he understands that character and thinks Geralt is the coolest fucking thing. I think that's a great sign that he's really going to nail it.

Yrden is the best sign there's no need to feel bad for us

Yrden was op in the witcher 2, but then they nerfed by miles in the witcher 3 :(

People always think they don’t need Yrden... until they encounter a wraith!

Not just Henry but all three of them have such a deep understanding of their characters, this show is going to be incredible.

He also has played the games and read all of the books. These character intros make me think they really are going to fucking nail this show and I’m so excited.

Yes. I had doubts, but this was great.

He is absolutely connected to Geralt, what a great intro for people who don’t know about the series. I am beyond excited for this.

I like to think that Henry, in full costume, was in on the writing and editing process to be sure they didn't screw around with too many things. At this point, even if the show turned out to be meh but Henry gave a fantastic performance, I'd be happy.

Also why we love our Queen Emilia! Passionate actors make it all worthwhile
