Never played D&D, never watched Critical Role — and Season 1 blew me away completely. The first episode alone is a masterclass in how to hook an audience.

Season 2 goes deeper on every character and raises the stakes with the Chroma Conclave arc. No single episode tops Season 1's premiere, but the whole season is brilliant. Rating: 9.

Season 3 wraps the Chroma Conclave and pushes into Vecna territory. Still genuinely great animated television — a worthy ending to the trilogy, even if it's the least perfect of the three.
