Critical Role is a weekly actual play series that uses tabletop role-playing game mechanics as a means to explore and develop stories from the vast fantasy worlds of Exandria, Aramán, and beyond, with sweeping narratives intricately woven through collaboration between Game Masters and players.
The Cast
The Real Review
People are overwhelmingly into this campaign, with Brennan Lee Mulligan's sharp and funny Game Master work leading the charge. The cast, including Laura Bailey's Thimble and Ashley Johnson's Vaelus, delivers on the series' signature humor and chemistry, which viewers consistently love. The main hang-up is a recurring one for these long-form stories: the pacing, which a vocal group finds to be a serious drag. While some compare it less favorably to past favorites like The Mighty Nein or Jester, the consensus is that the collaborative storytelling and laughs make it a winner.
