I don’t even have to begin this list for you to already know what the hottest and most anticipated series of the month (and year) is this weekend. That’s right, I’m talking about The Witcher. The fantasy horror-drama dropped on Netflix today and fans are running to watch. So we’ll begin the list with it!

The Witcher: This is one of the most anticipated shows of the year, ever since production was announced. The series is based on the fantasy novels of the same name. The Witcher follows Geralt of Rivia, a hunter who is struggling to find where he fits in the world. It is described as an “epic tale of fate and family,” but don’t let that make you thing it won’t be an action-packed, and often frightening, ride.
