Gotta Love Jaskier And His Badass Ballad
Even if you haven’t yet seen The Witcher, perhaps you have heard the song about him from episode two which, to us the vernacular of youths, slaps.
The ballad, “Toss a Coin to Your Witcher,” is written in-series by Jaskier, a traveling bard and buddy to the curmudgeonly Geralt. Jaskier is the thrust for a LOT of comic relief in the series and reminds me a lot of the type of energy Paul Bettany gave back in the day when he played Chaucer in A Knight’s Tale. Honestly, if season 2 turned out to just be a buddy comedy about Geralt and Jaskier getting into all kinds of scrapes I would be a happy gal.
But even if Jaskier isn’t in season 2 as much as I’d like, I can always be glad that he gave us that earworm of a song. “Toss a coin to your witcher, oh valley of plentyyyyyy”
So, if you’re one of the millions of people who’s already tossing a coin to your Netflix, I recommend checking The Witcher out! Already watched it and ready for more? Tell us all about what you think!
