The Witcher was the first time we saw Cavill in a fantasy role. Even though the show was well received by the fans, a few elements from the show did not sit right with them. Unlike other shows, The Witcher had a complex plot as it followed multiple storylines at once. Fans had a tough time at the start dealing grasping the concept of the show. Furthermore, a handful of them even felt confused and disoriented at times. However, surprisingly Henry Cavill sided with the fans.
