The third season of The Legend of Vox Machina, based on the adventures of the Critical Role role-playing troupe, is off and running on Amazon Prime Video. The first three episodes are available to watch now, with the rest coming out in groups of three every Thursday.

Before we dive into each episode individually, let's do a little overview of what they have to offer. The characters in Vox Machina are exceptional, faults and all. The title sequence alludes to upcoming struggles and consequences. I love how the bit about alcohol being referred to as "liquid courage" came through the episodes subtly; wine bottles have labels saying the word ‘courage’ on them.

The types of dragons, which our heroes fight, are portrayed in interesting ways. The red dragon, Thordak, has rows on either side of his neck which redden as he powers up his fiery breath.
