For anyone wanting to start watching Critical Role but need a softer entry than just “start with campaign 1”:
I recommend 1 of 3 ways
Watch some of the One-Shots (or smaller multi-parters (I have favorites))
Watch Campaign 2
Read the Crit Recaps by Dani Carr before watching each episode of Campaign 3
Obviously starting with Campaign 1 makes ALL the SENSE but it can be a difficult. For a softer entry try the methods above or possibly watch The Legend of Vox Machina on Prime and then start watching campaign 1 around episode 23

A more limited range of options this time.
*I know M.O.T.H.E.R. is technically an NPC but she's iconic and sexy and Ashley has limited Oneshot characters so I'm including her.
**Similarly, I realise the Cameron is not a woman but he gets to be an honorary Sexywoman for the purpose of this poll because 1. As previously mentioned, Ashley has limited Oneshot characters and 2. Sexywoman isn't a gender it's a state of mind is an amorphous concept that transcends binary notions of sex and gender.

I highly recommend watching this if you're not really interested in watching most of these. If you're going to watch one I would encourage you to watch this one. Not only does Taliesin do an incredible job but so does the cast. Everyone is perfect and meshes really well. Even the crew went all out, the set looks spectacular and the cast even gets to roleplay with real items! Their outfits as well make it all so immersive. It's creepy, it's funny, it's shocking, it's entertaining. I've watched it so many times and still can't get over the things that happen.

It'll vastly depend on your individual opinion/what you like but these are the ones that I really enjoyed, rewatch, and think are really well done.
On another note, while I didn't watch it or like the idea myself, it should be mentioned that the Wendy's Oneshot has been taken down. There were actually quite a few funny jokes + Sam and Ify's chaotic puns. You can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1C5PVXeeT8&t=9s

been catching up on the cr one-shots and I just finished the nautilus arc. but LET ME JUST SAY I ship forest and dr.wiser. they just seem cute together and you KNOW he just loves his little android bf to.... death(too soon??). Like when he got into the escape pod and forest protected him. I hc that they had a slight relationship going before they were frozen. Also that they make a forest clone and dr.wiser is against ir because it isn't HIS forest.
