I can’t decide whether it’s the relative disposability of the narrative, the unremarkable animation, or the fact that this feels like another spoonful of content thrown into Netflix’s trough, but “Sirens of the Deep” reads like so many empty calories.

Movements are very fluid, but expressions limited and there are buckets of cartoon gore, in a deep ruddy red that recalls mass-produced tonalities of fake Persian carpets.

Sirens of the Deep accomplishes what it sets out to do, and it’s both the most confident and the most enjoyable Witcher story.

Sirens of the Deep is an entertaining and dynamic story that fits well within the Witcher-verse. It feels like an extended episode of the Netflix show, but the animated element gives it a more fantasy twist the live-action often falls short of.
