Good start, but then it gets ruined

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

As a long-time tabletop RPG GM/Player, from the 70s to now. I have to add my two cents to this one. For the old salts in the genre, you'll very much appreciate the polish and skill Mercer possesses at this craft. for the newly initiated.. Welcome. This is the perfect example and keystone to begin your own journeys. Everyone can appreciate the mix of varied and stellar skills these players and friends have brought into Mercer's world. and even they are have been humbled and taken aback by the deserved success of this show. Just be ready for a DEEP dive into the sheer amount of content they have amassed over the years. all freely available on Youtube, Twitch and Alpha. Enjoy :)

I found this show a long time ago while browsing Geek and Sundry after finishing off a season of TableTop (another excellent series), at first it didn't click. I thought, "why would I, someone who has their own Dungeons and Dragons group, want to watch other people play it? It just wouldn't be the same". But, I started watching, and enjoying. Throughout the show, Matthew Mercer stands at the forefront of some of the best storytelling I have ever witnessed in both a D&D campaign and show in general. His vivid descriptions of the scene and true embodiment of his characters draw you into the game and world that he has created. The players are natural and their bond as friends shines through in their role playing, each character is detailed, engaging and enjoyable.The cast are hilarious and spout amazing scenes and one liners like its going out of fashion. Every episode engages and tugs on your emotions whether its joy or sorrow during the more role play intensive moments.The show is incredible and really only does it justice to watch and experience for yourself.Don't forget, the plan will fall apart quicker than you can shout jenga.

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.

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.
