The Legend of Vox Machina Free on YouTube for Limited Time

The Critical Role animated series The Legend of Vox Machina is now free on YouTube for a limited time. To promote the launch of the next series of the show, Prime Video has put up the entirety of the first two seasons of The Legend of Vox Machina on their YouTube channel. The episodes will remain up through October 3, which conveniently is when the next season of the show premieres. You can watch the first episode of the show down below:


The Legend of Vox Machina is the result of a successful Kickstarter campaign run way back in 2021, with Critical Role raising over $11 million to fund production of the first season. Amazon Studios picked up the show and renewed it for subsequent seasons. Critical Role and animation studio Titmouse are also developing an animated series based on the show's second campaign, with The Mighty Nein show expected to air in 2025. The cast of Critical Role, all of whom are professional voice actors, voice their respective characters in the shows, with DM Matt Mercer lending his voice talents to a variety of characters and villains.

I like this as a promo for the season 3, but watching two seasons of it basically over the weekend... oof.

Suck it up, soldier. We’re counting on you.

Like Arcana, this show exceeded my expectations but in different ways.

And yeah, it has that vibe of a typical campaign. For me, that vibe is with the PCs being a bit lost at first (because the players don't know what to really do yet) but things pick up as they find their purpose.

Thanks for this! Didn't know about the series, and now I'm seven episodes in. Great to see some real D&D entertainment.

Watched the first two episodes.
This writing really is bad, huh.
Amazon not putting up actual subtitles to Youtube is not helping my viewing experience.
That sure is a lot of half-elves... (and for classes that don't even use Cha, so it's not even for the free stats?)
Scanlan without Sam Riegel grinning is just incredibly annoying, and I say that as someone that doesn't even watch CR.
I wish there was even one funny thing in here.
The party is definitely a PC party, as no-one is interested in having any stakes in anything.

So, is it worth watching further? I know pilots can be rough, but my god.

VM started as a one shot for, I believe, Liam O'brien's birthday. The reason there's so many half elves is they got to the table (this is based on a 2+ year D&D campaign actual play), and Liam was talking about his character. Laura Bailey also had decided seperately to be a sneaky half elf, and since irl they have the same birthday, they made twins, one a thief and one a ranger.

The writing, so you know, often comes directly from the actual play. People were so in love with VM, that when it was announced they wanted to Kickstart a one-off episode, it ended up getting $12+M dollars... which perked Amazon's ears up.

And I don't get where you get Scanlan without Sam Riegel. They are LITERALLY voicing their own characters, since they were all voice actors before the birthday party one-shot.

Yet he isn't on the screen grinning to make the existence of Scanlan more tolerable.

It is also in other languanges, at least I have could watched in Amazon Prime España. (= Spain).
