In his short time on the show, David Tenant also knocks it out of the park.įor longtime fans of Critical Role, this series has everything we all loved about the 373 hours of Campaign 1 on their Twitch streams. The guest stars shine bright as well, especially Grey Griffin as Delilah Briarwood and Khary Payton as Uriel Tal’Dorei. The series delivers in the voice acting department, which is no surprise, coming from a team chock-full of incredible voice actors.Įach member of the main cast can bring the same magic to each of these characters as they were on stream, able to bridge the gap between hours at the table to hours in the studio expertly.

VOX MACHINA CAMPAIGN FULL
The series is full of both heart and humor, finding a perfect balance between the two. The use of flashbacks within the third episode to acclimate the audience to Percy’s dark past was incredible, giving the audience enough information to understand the gravity of the situation, but leaving much to be desired, hopefully, to be uncovered in the later episodes of the season. The third episode is where the infamous Briarwood arc begins, with the introduction of Silas and Delilah Briarwood, and the revelation of their connection to Taliesin Jaffe’s Percy de Rolo. In a surprising revelation, the opening two episodes also set the stage for a notorious storyline from later in the campaign, one that was instantly recognizable for anyone even vaguely familiar with the events of Campaign 1. The series effortlessly establishes Vox Machina as a group while planting the seeds needed to delve into each character’s arcs in the future.Įpisodes 1 and 2 feature events that happened pre-stream, for those familiar with Critical Role’s history of playing a home D&D game before streaming their live plays on Twitch, but still allow the audience to get immersed in the world of Exandria, and especially make a home within Emon with Vox Machina. The first three episodes, which premiered on January 28th on Prime Video, are nothing short of worth the wait. The fans of Critical Role, known as Critters, were passionate and excited for this project to be brought to life, and for good reason. The project hit its original funding goal of $750,000 within the first 40 minutes of launch and went on to raise over $11 million in the course of its 45-day campaign.
Nearly three years after Dungeons & Dragons live-play giant Critical Role launched their Kickstarter campaign to fund a 22-minute animated special titled The Legend of Vox Machina, the first three episodes of the 12-episode first season have dropped on Amazon Prime.
