Reddit user ApexicGaming posted shortly after the poster was released: "No critical viewing, no FMD critical viewing."
LordPizzaGamer added that any number of hits, even those viewing critically, could bring more money to Netflix and lead to a sequel to The Witcher.
This post has so far received more than 14,000 likes, and the official trailer received 9,000 dislikes in just a few minutes after it was released, all of which expressed fans' dissatisfaction with the departure of "The Witcher" from the original plot.
