Created by Dan Harmon and Spencer Crittenden and starring both, we follow three heroes (Harmon, Erin McGathy, and Jeff Davis) on a (definitely not) D&D campaign hosted by Crittenden himself as the DM, and each episode brings on a new celebrity guest to join in the adventure. Part animated, part live action as they stumble their way through quests, the animation done by the same studio as Rick and Morty, Starburns Industries. The animation suits perfectly fine for what it asks, and definitely adds to the experience vs just watching them at the table, and it is nice to switch back and forth rather than just animated the whole thing. It gives a presence to the adventure, especially with each episode's guests. That said, the banter is funny at times, but more often kinda slow and expected Dan Harmon humour if you like that, though notably from this its obvious his improv is much much worse than his general writing. It's also very definitely his show, not only is his name in the title and he constantly does the "faux modesty for more applause" gag, but he even eventually controls more than one character which no one else ever gets to do really (except the DM of course) and spends more time interrupting other players to make a bad joke than he does developing his own character or personality. A bit of behind-the-scenes drama, but interesting to learn only after watching part way through that Harmon and McGathy had actually been married and went through a divorce just after the show was seemingly green-lit but prior to its production, yet they continued on as friends and co-hosts, so was weird to watch them interact from then on. There's definitely some microaggressions between the two that take on whole new context. The celebrity guests themselves are all fun and typically highlights of the episodes. The adventures themselves are considerably well done, especially dealing with the chaos that DM Crittenden has to go with, so huge props to him. I would certainly watch another campaign hosted by him, he was very witty. In the end, its another fairly loosely constructed and very raunchy D&D campaign much the likes of Critical Role or the later Dimension 20, though imo not as good as either. Finally the whole thing was filmed in front of a live studio audience, which other than random laugh tracks and applause really adding nothing to it, I didn't really understand that production choice. Only three seasons its pretty quick to get through, but again something more to watch for the guests and Crittenden than anything else. Probably wouldn't recommend to most.
