    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Critical Role' is celebrated for its engaging storytelling, immersive world-building, and talented voice actors. Fans highlight deep character development, humor, and emotional moments, appreciating its accessibility and entertainment value for Dungeons & Dragons. However, some critics note recent campaigns emphasize identity politics and virtue signaling, impacting the story. Issues with pacing, sound quality, and character handling are mentioned. Despite these concerns, the show is generally well-received for its strong community and rich narratives offering escapism.

    Is it Thursday yet?

    One of the many things you must see before you die. Preferably Live. Do you like D&D look no further. In the vision of Matthew Mercer we follow our heroes in the quest of entertaining us.

    The gang of Vox Machina: The accountant Vex cries when the gang spend to much money. Her twin brother Vax is the sneaky backstabbing kind. Grog is the fierce Goliath with an heart of gold. Pike is the true-believer of the gang and she is also paladin with a strong healing touch. Percy is the tinker of the gang creating deadly things of use. Scanlan is the gigolo and bard and the gangs jester. Keyleth the Elven Druid of many shapes and she got a wonderful laugh. Tiberius the Sorcerer he is from Draconia.

    Critter and Vox Machina Fan for life.

    The toothy swede.

    The best and most immersive representation of tabletop gameplay

    This is the best televised dungeon and dragons(homebrew/tweaked) series i have ever seen. Rarely ever do i like the position of spectator when people are playing games. But for 48 episodes i've been eagerly longing for the next. The dungeon master Matthew Mercer is a storyteller extraordinaire. All the other characters are of equal importance to the story Matthew develops. Each and every one of the actors adding a unique touch and feel to the campaigns. From serious to in for a good laugh you will be engulfed in an array of creative problem solving. Immersive roleplay and an excellent distribution of heroic moments between characters where all actors respect their assisting role at the right time allowing for each character to shine.

    Thank you so much critical role crew for giving me such a lovely experience on a weekly basis. P.s. Please air the rebroadcast on a Sunday! It's too hard for this European to wait until Monday to see the episodes and impossible to break my day rhythm to see it at midnight.

    Better than most television

    This show is a joy to watch. All of the actors truly care about their characters and the narrative.

    The unscripted, improvised actions of the players adds to the unpredictable and engaging story that Matt Mercer sets up.

    Watching Critical Role will enrich your life.

    Fantastically amazingly awesomely perfect

    This is easily the best visual experience of my life. The connection the community feels to each other, to the people in the show, and to the game itself is incredible and I've been hooked -- nearly obsessed -- since the first half hour I saw. The experience is one that will resonate with you throughout your life and I sincerely hope this group continues in one form or another for decades to come.

    This is the first and only time I've been tempted to send something to the actors, and even with only a fan letter I am waiting on pins and needles to know if they even got the letter.

    Less than three you guys!

    P.S. Includes more than a bit of swearing, some inappropriate humor and lots and lots of nerdiness.

    The most epic show of epicness to ever exist!

    9 voice actors get together and play Dungeons and Dragons, live, for our entertainment. The voice acting experience of everyone involved is outstanding and they have played these character for the better part of 2 years and so they are truly emotional when one of their party is on the brink of death; REAL TEARS PEOPLE! If you're a fan of fantasy and great story telling, if you were ever embarrassed by your basement hobby, if you wanted to learn about table top role playing, but, didn't know where to go, I highly recommend Geek & Sundry's Critical Role. I laugh, I cry, I RAGE! But, mostly, I love, love, love Critical Role. By far the most genuine and entertaining show out there at the moment.

    #Critter4Life

    10/10 all the feels.

    • Trivia
      Before they started streaming their adventures, the group named their team "The S.H.I.T.s" (Super High Intensity Team). However, they decided to rename themselves to something more professional when in game they were meeting with nobles. They eventually decided on "Vox Machina", which is Latin for "Voice Machine" and a nod to their roles as voice actors.
