‘The Witcher: Blood Origin’ Has Netflix’s Worst Audience Scores Of All Time

It seems like it is in serious trouble. The first attempt at expanding its universe with a new live-action show seems to be going disastrously, as The Witcher has lost its star after next season.

The good news is that The Witcher: Blood Origin is the #1 show on the streaming service and it has a lot of viewers.

The good news is that it may make them wish they didn't bother. The Witcher: Blood Origin has the worst audience scores I have ever seen for a major streaming series.

I suppose technically I have seen worse, but my favorite stat is the double zero for both of its films. Is it possible for audience scores? I have never seen a percentage like that before.

The last time I wrote about a series with a low audience score was when Resident Evil was canceled. I hadn't seen anything like that back then. Jupiter's Legacy, a show that had a 41% critic score and a 77% audience score, was liked more by the audience than it was by the critics. Infinite Darkness, the CG RE series, had a 50% critic score and 39% audience score, which was close to Resident Evil.

More for you.

That's right.

The Forbes Snowman has been found.

The Witcher: Blood Origin may be the worst reviewed show on the internet. What's the reason? There are some samples from both groups.

• “The TV equivalent, in a way, of a tangentially-related hyperlink that you end up clicking while reading about something else on Wikipedia.” – Ready Steady Cut (Critic Review)
• “Lackluster, unoriginal and carried through on the promise of better things - The Witcher: Blood Origin is a mediocre affair. Michelle Yeoh is wasted, Lenny Henry lacks conviction and Minnie Driver goes some great narration. Best avoided.” – We Got This Covered (Critic Review)
• “Bad. Just really really bad. I wonder when Netflix will reach the point where they can't treat source material any worse. I certainly hope this is their lowest point finally, otherwise it might be time to leave this platform for good” = Al R (Audience Review)
• “In a generic fantasy setting with several box ticking characters, a show with no soul rises from a place it should never have risen. Between abominable and atrocious, this non-Witcher has basically nothing worthy of noting. It does absolutely nothing for a Witcher fan: adds nothing, build nothing, had no character or resemblance with source material. I could watch the original Polish show that you might not even know that exists, but this was a little too much.” – Marcelo A (Audience Review)

It's just brutally. I don't know what went wrong, but I need to figure it out to make sure the last few seasons of The Witcher don't suffer the same fate.
