It was great. You should definitely watch it, even if you aren't a fan of D&D.
My biggest issue is making the main character a bard who doesn't even get a SINGLE swing in combat, or a single spell to cast. He seems to mostly just exist as a peg to hang the story on.
You could argue there were quite a number of subtle casts he got off. A particular instance of suggestion comes to mind.
I mean, there's a pretty critical casting of minor illusion that he's responsible for. And, it was pointed out to me, that the various instances of him cajoling the party along, especially when the flashier members are having doubts, is basically Bardic Inspiration. Which I think is a neat way of handling it.
He clinches all of the hard rolls for the party. Exactly the role for a bard.
Agreed. If you're running a bard and not acing soft skill rolls for the party, you're playing another class with more steps. Looking at you, Lore/Sword/etc. Bards, ferreal. Pick a lane.
