The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep

I can’t decide whether it’s the relative disposability of the narrative, the unremarkable animation, or the fact that this feels like another spoonful of content thrown into Netflix’s trough, but “Sirens of the Deep” reads like so many empty calories.

Movements are very fluid, but expressions limited and there are buckets of cartoon gore, in a deep ruddy red that recalls mass-produced tonalities of fake Persian carpets.

Sirens of the Deep accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it’s both the most confident and the most enjoyable Witcher story.

Sirens of the Deep has the bones for a good story, but the pacing and execution fall flat at various times.

This franchise comes with built-in fans, and the action, humor, and characters of the latest entry will draw them in.

As an adult-animated jaunt through the Continent, Sirens also adds a bit to the Witcher’s personal quest for rectitude, and expands on the lore of the land where he travels.

Anchored by a wonderful voice performance from Doug Cockle, small distracting details aren't enough to overwhelm a well-paced and enjoyable new adventure for Geralt of Rivia.

Netflix's The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep may have the iconic voice of Geralt back in the fold, but its story falls prey to the show's issues.


If there's one thing I can say about The Witcher: Sirens of the Deep, it's that the film embodies both the best and worst aspects of the show's first two seasons.

Its colorful visuals and intricate cinematography really makes each bloody and gruesome battle stand out from each other.
