Part 3/13:
The Liam Hemsworth Factor
In the midst of criticism, much attention was directed at Liam Hemsworth, who stepped into the role of Geralt of Rivia. A satirical headline from The Guardian quipped that Hemsworth possesses "as charismatic as a ballad in a wig," highlighting the perceived lack of screen presence. This critique appears to be symptomatic of broader issues—deep problems rooted in the show's writing and direction rather than solely the actor's performance.
