People are dumb

I see reviews of people crying about them not being in order. They're to jumbled up. There's only 12. How hard is it for you to use your eyes an look for number one and then two. Lol. So lazy that you have to make sure everything is done for you. I hate people.

The original and classic

Even though the first episodes are a little rough, the epic of Vox Machina and Critical Role starts here and the early days of the show are pure raw D&D. In the first campaign especially, the cast can be fully authentic and not be cognizant of the audience, or feel the pressure of past successes. There was no need for filtering for a mass audience, it's the most genuine of all CR content.

nice way to catch up when you can

I do recommend watching them on YouTube but this is a nice alternative when you cant. that being said the quality is less with the dead spots.

audible issues

not only are the titles out of order, but the audio cuts out for about a second every twenty seconds.
