Joey and Lenny are absolutely brilliant together, they’re so relaxed and funny.

They are the couple.

Excited for the roast of this series.

Joey. Literally films one scene. Does a boat load of promotional material. Wonder why he was hired…

[@earlgaytea]

i love how joey will make a joke or do a bit and lenny and ali will just run with it. nice chemistry and great interview, guys!

THE WARHAMMER? JASKIER WITH THE WARHAMMER? I want to see

[@bootybreakeronlyformen]

Get some muscles and I think he could pulled a decent commissar cain. Probably better choices but he could do a decent one.

[@kreker_skrepker]

@@bootybreakeronlyformen just googled this one. I personally think he is too sugar twink for that :) but those muscles are insane anyway. I wanna see him being dangerous and murderous!!! WITH A HAMMER!!!

I want them to be in more shows together just for the serotonin of the interviews

Respect Henry but his foray into the fantasy realm has been cursed with shows that have excruciating scripts... 🤔

I love LH Too bad he keeps getting attached to Shite

Napkin story

My god, if the script of this series wasn't so utterly and incomprehensible awful this series might have had a chance. Dear lord I didn't even recognise Lenny Henry I honestly think he did much better here than with the Rings of Power!

[@LNER985]

It isn't awful and just you being an awful Witcher fan.

[@Darkwintre]

@@LNER985 I'm actually more a fan of the books, I assume from your remarks you aren't?

[@ymmv99]

The name of Lenny Henry on the credits of a fantasy tv series is a sure sign that show is utter dreck.

[@GeorgeDaniels-me7ru]

The casting director needs to be fired immediately as well as the writers.

[@LNER985]

No she doesn't.

[@annkathrin2802]

Only watched blood origin for joey Batey, gonna be honest here…was a shit show. Couldn’t get into it for the life of me

@@LNER985 I've read all the books before you ever even heard of witcher or the games. Why are you so upset about my honest opinion? And when I and 22 other people do not agree with you. You get passive aggressive and say reviews are lies. Well how many people liked your comment? You are a omadhaun. And my father told me to never argue with an omadhaun as you will never win. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.. 🤔
