I say that title comming into the show already a fan of Dan Harmon stuff (Mostly "Community", btw) and Jeff Davis from WLIIA, and more so from his time on Drew Carey's Improv-a-ganza where Jeff's improv can be as savage as it is funny.
Without the animated core, I wouldn't have paid much, if any, attention to this though. That's the magic that drew me in. This is executed/edited very well, and marriages the real-life sitting around a table with the fantasy-brought-to-life animation perfectly!
I hope this is a fair review, since I've never played a round of any role-playing game. Friends and colleagues have though, so I'm not 100% clueless to the basis (especially since 2 episodes of Community kinda illustrated it w/o the benefits of animation).
You will enjoy this if you enjoy Dan Harmon (And kinda Joss Whedon) humor....
Lastly: Due to depression, I rarely _genuinely_ laugh or even smile... but, I found myself suddenly grinning ear-to-ear many times, and even chuckling, as I went through all 3 seasons - especially with some of the celebrity guests' contributions! Lol @ the Rob Cordry and the Jason Mantzoukas episodes.... and, OMG, my favorite episode: the one featuring Gillian Jacobs (Brita from Community) - oh man; that was great! She Brita's it enough that even Dan Harmon comments on the "meta". If you can't at least crack a grin at that one, then you probably won't wanna watch much of this. If improv is a style contrary to what you enjoy, this isn't a show for you, as it makes no attempts to be anything other than what it rawly is.
