Jeff Goldblum Stars in DnD Reality Livestream Show: Good or Bad?

So Jeff Goldblum is starring in one of those twitch/youtube "D&D"-themed improv-acting reality shows, and it's not Critical Role. Is this a sign of the triumph of the "critical role" fad, or bad news for the people currently profiting off it?
