Like Season 1, the new season aims to dilute over 80 hours of tabletop gameplay into just 12, 30-minute episodes (all of which were available for review), while also relaying information learned across the panels of comic books and scribed in the pages of novels. Overall, The Legend of Vox Machina is an impressive feat, but never more so than in this second season, which is truly a masterclass of adaptation. ![]() Picking up the threads from Season 1, The Legend of Vox Machina continues to follow twins Vex and Vax’ildan (Liam O’Brien), Ashari Keyleth (Marisha Ray), bard Scanlan (Sam Riegel), nobleman Percy (Taliesin Jaffe), cleric Pike (Ashley Johnson), and kindhearted brute Grog (Travis Willingham) as they settle into their group dynamic while attempting to overcome their toughest battles yet-scaled or otherwise. When the city falls to those dragons, known as the Chroma Conclave, it’s up to Vox Machina, newly minted protectors of the realm, to seek out various mythical weapons known as Vestiges in order to defeat them. ![]() The Legend of Vox Machina Season 2 picks up exactly where Season 1 left off, with a horde of dragons descending upon the city of Emon in Tal’Dorei. In the first episode of The Legend of Vox Machina’s second season, Vex’ahlia (Laura Bailey) nails exactly why Vox Machina are such extraordinary heroes: “We’re all frustrated and scared, but the fight’s not over.” It’s that conviction, that determination to fight against all odds that propels Vox Machina and their Legend through a second season filled with guts, glory, and heart, culminating to create a satisfying continuation that still captures the spirit of Critical Role while elevating its source material to new heights.
