I actually don't watch Critical Role much. I've only seen like 2 1/2 episodes. TLOVM however is hilarious and a lot like an actual DnD adventure for a lot of groups. Absolutely NOT for kids, even those who are around when your group plays. I took a star off because the pacing is way too quick especially for a DnD adventure. Also the obvious bad guy is obvious and the characters are beyond oblivious. Other than that yeah the characters remind me of a couple of different groups and campaigns I've played. Waiting on more episodes to see if they fix the minor issues.
