'The Legend of Vox Machina' Season 3 review: Critical Role's series keeps raising the bar

The Legend of Vox Machina levels up again in a killer Season 3.

The adult animated series, which is based on Critical Role's first live-streamed Dungeons & Dragons campaign, got off to a strong start in its first season. Season 2 built on that base, fine-tuning the show's balance of raunchy humor, fantasy action, and engaging character work. Now, its third outing is proof that a great thing can get even better, putting the heroes known as Vox Machina through their biggest challenges yet, be they personal woes or, you know, trying to save the world from apocalypse by dragon fire.

Let's start with the dragon fire of it all. At the end of Season 2, Vox Machina defeated the dragon Umbrasyl (voiced by Matthew Mercer) with an NSFW combination of magic and butt stuff. However, there are still more dragons in the Chroma Conclave, including fearsome leader Thordak (voiced by the late Lance Reddick) and icy dragon Vorugal (voiced by Liam O'Brien). Needless to say, they're still out for blood. And with Thordak's clutch of dragon eggs mere weeks from hatching, Vox Machina are in a serious time crunch if they're going to save Tal'Dorei.

Their only hope may just be the Conclave's remaining dragon, Raishan (voiced by Cree Summer), who's offered a tentative alliance. But can she be trusted? Vox Machina's resident druid Keyleth (voiced by Marisha Ray) certainly doesn't think so, in just one of many conflicts that deepen Vox Machina's group dynamics this season.

Every season of The Legend of Vox Machina has seen its band of unlikely heroes gelling further, so by now, their chemistry is rock-solid. That doesn't necessarily mean they all get along perfectly — they're basically a family, and a family always has its ups and downs. Instead, it means their interactions are the tightest and most clearly character-driven they've been in the show's run, from painful arguments to filthy jokes to stressed-out planning sessions.

While the group as a whole is a treat to watch, one of The Legend of Vox Machina's biggest strengths is how it teases out the web of relationships between its core cast, even experimenting with breaking the party up to put a microscope on each bond. This season sees romances blossoming in earnest between Keyleth and Vax'ildan (voiced by O'Brien), as well as Percy (voiced by Taliesin Jaffe) and Vex'ahlia (voiced by Laura Bailey), with both featuring their fair share of sweetness and heartbreak. Elsewhere, bawdy bard Scanlan (voiced by Sam Riegel) tries desperately to reconnect with his estranged daughter Kaylie (voiced by Aisling Franciosi), while pious cleric Pike (voiced by Ashley Johnson) reckons with her ever-complex relationship to faith. As for party tank Grog (voiced by Travis Willingham), he takes a bit of a backseat after a jam-packed Season 2, but he's always got his friends' backs.

Since character is a key motivator in action sequences, these deepened connections translate perfectly to The Legend of Vox Machina's many fights. I didn't know how the show could possibly top any of its earlier standouts, like Season 1's Brimscythe and Briarwood showdowns or Season 2's Killbox and Umbrasyl battles. Yet Season 3 delivers at every turn, with the Vestiges of Divergence obtained in Season 2 adding a superpowered punch to Vox Machina's already considerable skills. Some sequences — like the show's balls-to-the-wall take on a kaiju battle — demand an instant rewatch (and may have elicited much hooting and hollering from yours truly).

That The Legend of Vox Machina's fights keep getting better is a testament to Titmouse's animation, which does a remarkable job juggling hundreds of moving parts (including several dragons!) while maintaining a Saturday morning cartoon flair. It's also a testament to the show's willingness to constantly up the stakes. The Legend of Vox Machina has certainly accomplished this feat season over season, but in Season 3, everything is amplified, from its fantasy playfulness to its most devastating character beats. Truly, it's difficult to imagine it getting better from here. But as every season of The Legend of Machina has shown us, this series is always ready to grow and improve alongside its heroes.

The Legend of Vox Machina Season 3 premieres Oct. 3 on Prime Video, with three new episodes every Thursday.
