    If you're a fan of the original 'actual play' you'll almost certainly love it. If not it probably depends on whether or not you like your fantasy with gore, nudity, and plenty of poop and fart jokes. If yes, add 1 or two points to the score, if not take them away. Either way its a competent but far from ground-breaking cartoon version of the D&D tabletop game. It certainly had theIf you're a fan of the original 'actual play' you'll almost certainly love it.

Either way its a competent but far from ground-breaking cartoon version of the D&D tabletop game. It certainly had the misfortune to come out the same year as Arcane, a show that makes almost all other animation pale in comparison and really highlights how old-school TLoVM and many other shows have become. It has a fast-moving story but, again, this is a love it or hate it point; it rapidly jumps from bawdy gag to action but doesn't take a lot of time from any real character development or world-building. Perhaps this was done with fans of the show (who already have plenty of both) in mind but for a new viewer it gives the show a slightly superficial feel.… Expand

    Vox Machina is a fun, chaotic ride through the world the players in Critical Role have been building upon for years. It takes the characters viewers are likely already familiar with, and establishes a story that both fans and newcomers can get into without catching up on the series.

    The Legend of Vox Machina is a competently produced story decidedly informed by the sensibilities of a new generation of players, the kind of series that shares DNA with the ’83 cartoon and the disastrous 2000 film, but also looks absolutely nothing like either of them. And while it won’t net Hasbro any royalties, it unquestionably moves the phenomenon one step deeper into the mainstream.

    The first episode feels a bit drawn out, and a few cuts would have still left a tight rollicking fun time. But it’s easy to forget your gripes once the fun picks back up, and the rest of the series lacks the meandering asides of the first episode, and introduces character backstory and threads of intrigue to sink your teeth into.
