I haven't watched it, I'm a fa/tg/uy through and through so I prefer to play and run roleplaying games not watch them. But I have followed the overall response and generally people say that campaign 2 and 3 were far more obviously... not scripted like they wrote the full thing in advance, but played to make good content not played like an actual game. There's no consensus on whether they had the broad strokes planned some time in advance like wrestling, or if they were improvising most of it but in a way that is unrealistic for games
either way, critical role and its impact on the expectations of the average "new to the hobby" tabletop gamer have been an unmitigated disaster and anyone who expects games to be "like CR" is a problem.
I'd say "may the things you like never get popular" but this is /v/ and that ship sailed fifteen years ago minimum.
