The Nilfgaardians have been defeated, and Cirilla and Geralt plough on towards Kaer Morhen, but there's an air of hopelessness on the Continent. The second season of The Witcher begins with death, misery, and hidden truths. Three travellers reach a small village seeking shelter from the winter's night, only to find it abandoned.

The stench of rot and war is luring monsters out of hibernation, and our travellers meet a fate worse than death as an invisible beast ambushes them. The tone is set: Don't believe your eyes, and keep your wits about. Finally united at the end of the first season, the Witcher, Geralt of Rivia, now escorts Ciri, the princess of Cintra he swore to protect. Still wounded from the previous season, Geralt is now faced with the loss of his Djinn-tied lover, purple-eyed sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. The North was successful, barely, in the Battle of Sodden against the Nilfgaardians, but losses have been catastrophic on both sides, with Yennefer seemingly lost. Triss, a fellow sorceress and friend of Geralt, survives, but she barely features in the opening episode, which is fine with me. #TeamYen. Episode 1. A grain of truth" Written by: Declan de Barra. Directed by: Stephen Surjik. Much of the episode takes place inside the keep of a lonely acquaintance of Geralt, Nivellen, who has been cursed with a boar-like form. Two themes run throughout the episode: loneliness and fear. "Fear is an illness which, left untreated, will consume you," Geralt sagely tells Ciri as she begins to contemplate her power and instability in wielding it. Fear drove humans to seek out the Witchers, despite their current hatred for them, and fear will accompany most of the characters through this episode. Elder sorceress Tissaia de Vries fears that Yen is gone. Nivellen fears the loneliness cursed upon him. And Geralt? Well, it seems that our emotionless Witcher fears harm will come to Ciri. Seems he's changed his tune and is taking this destiny lark pretty seriously, huh? This episode doesn't have a lot of sword-swinging going on. It's more of a grief-filled recap with some excellent zingers from Yen—not dead after all—as she tears Nilfgaard sorceress Fringilla Vigo a new one. She utters a Geralt-esque "Fuck!" as she realises she's in Dimeritium restraints, captured behind enemy lines, but Nilfgaard is the least of her worries. As she and Fringilla's lackluster bunch of soldiers traverse the forest, an unknown enemy ambushes the group. Given that they're in a forest, we can safely assume this is the Elves at work. Who else would have spears on bungee ropes? And Fringilla has the audacity to call them "archers." Meanwhile, in magic school Aretuza, Tissaia begins torturing captured Nilfgaardian Cahir to extract plans from his memory. She's torn by grief over the idea that Yennefer has been lost in the battle, and she takes it out on Cahir in a truly terrifying way. Using her magic, she taps into the deepest recesses of his mind and doesn't pay much mind to the idea that he'll be left with permanent injuries afterwards. The mages are pissed, and it won't be long before they aren't in the good graces of the courts. The star performance of the episode goes to Kristofer Hivju, who plays Nivellen. His story is based on A Grain of Truth, which features in the book The Last Wish. It also happens to be the episode's title, again lending itself to the narrative that not everything is as it seems for each character. Nivellen, as he tells Ciri and Geralt, was cursed by a priestess many years prior after ransacking a temple while high on some mushrooms. In retaliation, the priestess cursed him to live alone as a magical beast, with love and blood being the only route to lifting it. Nivellen is charming and welcoming to Ciri and Geralt as they seek lodgings for the night, conveniently giving the aforementioned abandoned town a miss en route. He entertains them, provides a sumptuous dinner, and has a good banter with his old pal Gerry of Rivia. Scuttling in the ceiling is Vereena, which Nivellen says is a cat.
