Some professional reviewers must have had a sizeable donation from Uncle Amazon, before putting in their scores, it seems. That's the only reason I can think of for grown adults giving something so basic, such glowing reviews.

If you're a kid between the age of 12-17, you might really enjoy Vox Machina.
The extremely cliche, trope-driven story and characters might not put you off and the script that substitutes swearing for jokes, might make you laugh a little.
If you're an adult or just a mature kid, Vox Machina is unwatchable after a few minutes. The artwork is decent, if not stellar and the animation is low-level Saturday morning cartoon, but it's passable.
Voice acting is also passable, there's some bad accents in there (but that's par for the course for the genre) but the cast do their best with the bad script. Unfortunately, however, the whole thing really comes down to that script and it is a stinker. It's beyond childish and whilst a similar project, Invincible, has a great time taking tropes and subverting them, and using harsh language and mature themes and using them with subtlety and wit to craft a show that's entertaining to all audiences, Vox has clearly been created by a different level of writer. Perhaps one that hasn't yet made it out of primary school?

"The Legend of Vox Machina" (S01, 12 eps, 1/2hr, Amazon) is a slickly produced animated series that reminds one of "Castlevania", however, though the show centers on teen characters I think the story is really kiddie-oriented, it's a real"The Legend of Vox Machina" (S01, 12 eps, 1/2hr, Amazon) is a slickly produced animated series that reminds one of "Castlevania", however, though the show centers on teen characters I think the story is really kiddie-oriented, it's a real letdown. It's full of stereotypes, clichés, and it's predictable - just the right mix of elements for your pre-teen. I really wanted to like this, especially since Covid has brought us so much stinking messes of films and series, but this didn't break through for me, just more of the same type of wasted effort as so many others.

Woke, written by edge lords, and generally formulaic. Sure they pepper it with swear words, and the occasional flash of nudity, but that is just to earn the adult tag.

Sure they pepper it with swear words, and the occasional flash of nudity, but that is just to earn the adult tag. The cool trailer happens in the first minute, and never reaches that height again in the first three episodes.
The art is good, as is the voice acting. But bad stories, woke agenda (especially in a fantasy setting), and juvenile antics from supposed adults robs this of any entertainment.

Turned it off after the first 10 minutes. Why does our entertainment industry feel so compelled to send messages like these? Otherwise, it seemed a great storyline. What a shame.
