    Not entirely surprising as it’s Netflix’s biggest hit show since Stranger Things.

    The surprising thing is that it has done so well – I don’t think many people predicted it.

    Conveniently enough, the first two were released for macOS, though I don’t know if they are still playable since Catalina dropped 32-bit support.

      can’t edit this for some reason, but it should read “the first two Witcher games were released for macOS”

    Maybe because more people are already watching The Morning Show
