I haven't watched critical role, though i have heard a lot about them. Even as someone who hasn't watched any of their content (until recently if you would include TLoVM), I really enjoyed this show, binged it actually and look forward to a season 2! The gore, humor, and characters, both with their own developments and tropes really make it enjoyable. I'd recommend anyone who enjoys DnD, fantasy, gore and humor to give this a try.
