This show is epic, the story telling is top notch. And the real emotions of these voice actors as they are truly connected to their characters is unbelievable! Matthew Mercer is a world creating genius and just waiting for Thursday proper to roll around so that I can watch is almost torture. This is by far my favorite streaming show of all time.

Critical Role is the ultimate in entertainment! I don't think I have ever fallen in love with any TV show, web series, video game, or film as much as I have fallen in love with this group of nerdy ass voice actors sitting around and playing Dungeons & Dragons. Matthew Mercer is one of the greatest storytellers of today. The characters are probably the most well written characters I have ever seen, and this is a completely unscripted show! Even if I didn't particularly like at the start (Percy, Taryon) grew on me very quickly.While at this point (101 episodes in), it's very obvious the story of Vox Machina is coming to an end, I'm still incredibly excited to see what Mercer comes up with and what characters these amazing voice actors get to play as in the next campaign.10/10 would watch again (aaaaall the way from the beginning).

Critical Role is a surprisingly engaging show, told through constant improvisation performed by some of the hardest hitters in the Voice Acting business, through the game "Dungeons and Dragons" lead by Matthew Mercer. Critical Role takes place in the high fantasy world of Exandria, and centers around the group of adventurers called Vox Machina. Vox Machina consists of Goliath barbarian Grog (Travis Willingham), human gunslinger Percival (Taliesin Jaffe), Dragonborn Sorcerer Tiberius (Orion Acaba), half-elf druid Keyleth (Marisha Ray), gnome cleric Pike (Ashley Johnson), gnome bard Scanlan (Sam Riegel) and the half-elven twins, the ranger Vex'ahlia (Laura Bailey) and her brother, the rogue Vax'ildan (Liam O'Brien). The story starts in-medias-res as the group are entering the dwarven city of Kraghammer. They don't manage to be there long before they start attracting attention and trouble. What makes the show isn't the story itself, which might surprise most who try to watch the show. It's the characters, their inter- personal relationships, struggles, and the impact they have on the world around them that makes the show what it is. Despite having no visuals at all, this show is intensely visual, through the amazingly graphic storytelling of Matthew Mercer. If you possess even a smidgen of ability to imagine, Matthew Mercer handles the rest. He'll paint castles in your mind, after which the remaining cast will fill the castle with life, laughter, and tears of both joy and sorrow. Being that the show is running on 300+ hours, and isn't done yet, with the average episode being 3 hours, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone with a short attention span. But if that isn't an issue, I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys stories about people. Even if you don't like fantasy, you'll quite quickly discover that the fantasy is just the setting of the story, but that the backbone of Critical Role is the characters. I've seen 300 hours of this show, and I'd happily watch 300 more.

Critical Role is a great show suitable for anyone who has ever enjoyed watching Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones or the likes. The magical fantasy setting of Dungeons and Dragons is brought to life by these amazing voice actors. In time, these players will grow on you, and they will take you on an emotional journey, both sad and hilarious.I'd recommend starting of with episode 24, as things start to really pick up at this point. Start here, and after one episode, you will never look back.
