Coming out of Critical Role, and with more than a passing resemblance to The Legend of Vox Machina (and taking place in that same world), the opening episode of The Mighty Nein begins bringing together a part of mismatched adventurers who will be called upon to save the world. The show kicks off with the theft of a religious artifact by magician assassins known as Volstrucker which raises the already tensions between the Dwendalian Empire and the Kryn Dynasty to the brink of war.

Randy‘s (Caleb Foote) birthday and Franks (Kyle Schmid) growing agitation with too much change in his life anchor the episode where the NIS team looks to solve the death of a Marine found in an abandoned house in what appears to be part of some bizarre ritual.

Watson – Lucky

  • Title: Watson – Lucky
  • IMDb: link

In an episode that keeps several plates spinning simultaneously, “Lucky” features the return of Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) far sooner than I expected, but again only for a single episode. Spending a bit of time poking around Pittsburgh, Holmes stays with Watson (Morris Chestnut) and offers some advice on the doctor’s latest case involving a man in a coma ward suffering from undiagnosed locked-in syndrome who has witnessed multiple murders by an angel of death over the years. Along with helping the patient, Watson and the team also work to prove there is someone killing end-of-life patients and identifying her before she murders again.
