Randomly rewatching ‘Cinderbrush’ and remembering that time that Critical Role managed to make the most CW show to ever be a CW show:
Teen angst as played by 30-40-year-olds, giving the whole thing a weird nostalgic flavor
Witty one-liners that teens only wish that they could come up with on their own
The most shocking amount of gender one can pack onto a screen (that may be less of a CW thing, and more of what everyone wanted from the CW but never got, because the CW only ever wanted to appeal to The Youths in the most safe and boardroom-approved way possible).
Anyway, all this is to say: man I adore this one-shot way more than I expected to, and I still wish it would get a follow-up at some point. The cast was great, the setup was fantastic, and Critical Role doing a supernatural teen drama complete with raves, murder investigations, and every iteration of hookup possible was such a fun departure from their usual games. If you haven’t seen it and it sounds like something you’d dig, do yourself a favor and check it out.
