What people are saying
Updated nightlyThis show is a huge hit, mostly thanks to its sense of humor and the charisma of its cast. People are loving Brennan Lee Mulligan's energy as the new Game Master, and the humor and visuals are consistently praised as top-tier. The main drag is pacing, with a vocal group finding the story's momentum too slow and scattered, and specific mentions of Campaign 4 and Vox Machina plotlines landed poorly for some. Still, with beloved characters like Jester and The Mighty Nein popping up, and strong performances from Laura Bailey and others, the overwhelming feeling is that the collaborative storytelling magic is very much alive.
