The highly anticipated Season 4 of The Witcher has finally arrived on Netflix, but early reviews are showing a mixed response. The latest season has received the lowest Rotten Tomatoes score in the series’ history, despite the excitement surrounding Liam Hemsworth’s debut as Geralt of Rivia. The critical reception for the new season has been less than stellar, with a 53 percent critic score and a 20 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Compared to its previous seasons, The Witcher Season 4 has faced a noticeable decline in critical acclaim. Season 1 opened to a solid 68 percent approval, while Season 2 achieved the franchise’s highest rating at 95 percent. However, Season 3 saw a decline to 79 percent.
