The show maybe not the best comedy right now but they got me with its two episodes; A Dark Quiet Death and Quarantine.

I've started the show thanks to Danny Pudi and until the 5th episode (A Dark Quiet Death) the show was trying to find its pace. But, 5th episode is one of the best standalone episodes I've seen that is touching lots of elements throughout 30 minutes.

Again, with the Quarantine episode, they turned their disadvantage into an advantage and made a great episode.

Other episodes had their ups and downs but this show still worths a try no doubt.

I hope they will keep their trajectory still because they have a good cast and an opportunity.

Edit: These last episodes "Backstory!" and "Peter" have been such beautiful experiences. Just brought me tears as we witnessed the past of C. W. (Wonderful Murray Abraham) and bringing closure to it in the very next episode.

I am a HUGE fan of Always Sunny. My wife and I watch the series on repeat year round. I must've seen Always Sunny at least 20 times and can quote most the series. While I thought Sunny was a well constructed comedy, I was a little worried that Mythic Quest would be too similar to Always Sunny or not be able to capture the same magic. Boy was I wrong. I have been so impressed with the writing and plot of this series. The comedy is hilarious, the heartwarming scenes warm your heart, and the show is all around fun and entertaining. I only wish more people knew how great it is and I can honestly say I will be recommending it to people as much as I can.

Funny show with a lot of heart. While it is from 2 of the creators of always sunny, it is a completely different show. More reminiscent of silicon valley.

It took me until the DQD episode (ep 5) to start falling in love with the show and its characters. I don't know what was going on in the first 4 episodes, but I only stuck with the show because I love the entire Sunny crew (David Hornsby is perfect casting *chef's kiss*, and it's good to see Rob and Charlie working together again) as well as Aparna Nancherla and Naomi Ekperigan.

I don't know what it was about the writing, but the second half of the season brought a little more harmony among a cast that seemed to lack chemistry + initial plotlines that seemed to lack any depth/stakes. The 5th episode was so good (an amazing palate cleanser) and provided a tonal shift that made me feel slightly more aware of the themes of the show as a whole.....

but anyways THE QUARANTINE EPISODE DESERVES AN EMMY. Quarantine episodes for other shows have been hella cringe and forced, but this one was honest in a seemingly effortless way.

I always liked (ahem love/hate) this show from the start, but the most recent episode. S2 E6 Backstory (and I HATE backstories) pulled a throwaway character out of the dust bin and made him one of the most import cornerstones of Mythic Quest. Perhaps the emotional content of this episode means nothing to anyone born after say, 1990, but this episode cleverly tied in Mythic Quests, its entire reason d'être, the main character in this episode, and the entire history of online gaming in what - 40 minutes? While the actors of this show deserve a nod for sure, the writers.... I am in awe, and thank you for throwing Michael Bay as an inspiration into the dust bin of history.

After first two episodes, it gets better , there is a tone and style change . Some people likes to compare it to Always Sunny , there are similarities, but it's a different show , try to enjoy it as it is !

The series was fantastic in season 1&2, but, like many reddit reviewers, season 3 was weak and pointlessly drawn out.

Season 3 focused too much on Ian and Poppy's dysfunctional relationship. Seasons 1&2 were more of a light hearted comedy unlike season 3. Ian and Poppy become too codependent on each other to work or function in season 3, it's a shame they strayed from the template of season 1 and the dynamics between the team. Of course this comes down to writing, which ultimately brings forth changes and not always for the better. The show is still good with a great cast, but too much splintering has occurred in season 3, on top of CW being removed from the show.

It's like watching your favorite music group break up and later on either reforming with some new members, which is almost never as successful, or them all getting back together after changes have occurred, realizing what once worked and made them great was each other and their dynamics with each other.

This show is fantastic. The actors all do incredibly at portraying these characters. Storyline and writing is fantastic. You don't have to be a gamer to enjoy this show, but if you are, you'll definitely love it.

I had a hard time rating this show since it had a steady slide and then after Season 2 it just dropped off a cliff. My theory is Rob didn't expect to get that far and didn't really have a plan for what would happen after Season 1, certainly not Season 2.

Ian and Poppy are just fantastic characters and carry the show. The flashback episodes are amazing, especially Season 1's, and this show tackles assumptions and discrimination in the video game industry. I have no idea why they didn't dump Rachel after Season 1 as the character is incredibly obnoxious and detracts from the comedy.

All that said, anyone should watch Season 1 of this series, it is a gem. Season 2 is "meh" and I have no idea what happened with Season 3, I quit after three episodes since it was obvious they lost their way.

I kinda went in thinking it would be meh. It's not... it's so good. I'm not into video games but it's so funny.

I binged season 1 and was absolutely engaged from the first episode. The comedy around an MMORPG is spot on, and the character interactions are spot on in a hilarious way. Big shout out to Charlotte Nicdao (Poppy) for her excellent performance alongside Rob McElhenney. If you are a fan of gaming in general I think you will enjoy this immensely.

Then I watched season 2 and to me it's a different show. The focus goes almost entirely away from gaming (except for bits here are there), and instead focuses on the inter-office relationships almost exclusively. The humor I enjoyed in season 1 was mostly gone, although the cast's performances we're still great, the writing direction just changed entirely and it's soured my opinion on the show a bit. Maybe COVID affected production plans (as the cast seemed a lot smaller), because the overall tone of the show is just off.

I really hope they turn it around in season 3 and stop with the lovey-gushey (the whole thing between Rachel and Dana seemed so forced). Please focus on a company making or running a game and the hilarious things that can happen around that, and please leave the unnecessary drama out of it. It's called Mythic Quest and not The Office for a reason.

Season 1 - 9/10 Season 2 - 5/10.

Overall I really enjoyed the show. It's much more mainstream than Philadelphia, don't expect dark or very edgy humour, but if you enjoyed 30 Rock - you will enjoy Mythic Quest.

I pretty much like all characters except Poppy who I find very annoying with her exaggerated emotions in every second of every episode, it's a bit too much.

They mix a tiny bit of philosophy and important modern topics with down to earth humour. Some episodes are a bit bland while others are outstanding, so don't stop if you watched one boring episode.

It's ok for shows to leave off on a cliff-hanger, even when they've been cancelled. Please bring back the original ending. It lets the series linger in the hearts of the audience and was the original intention of the creators. All great stories come to an end, but the new edit was devoid of the passion we've all been waiting for for so long.

The ending felt like another Ubisoft title that was rushed to the market, and now the fans are, once again, stuck waiting for the load screen. No matter, the performance of this show wasn't always the greatest but it did tell a unique perspective in the relationships of the characters. That's what gave it the heart it had. The original ending was the best. Please reconsider or allow an option to choose which to watch.

I have been a huge fan of Always Sunny for more than ten years so I naturally was hoping to love this show as well, but..

it doesn't feel natural, everything seemed forced, the dialogues and jokes aren't smooth

Mythic quest: Ravens Banquet is part of Apple TV's first go's at original content, and I can't tell you how glad I am that they chose Rob Mcellhenny and Charlie Day to make a show with them. This show looks at the insane ego a person in these positions can get, and how they are willing to sacrifice their employees work conditions to get the results that they want. I'm a huge IASIP fan so I'm familiar with the humor they usually go for. The idea of a video game company isn't something we have never seen before, but every other time it's used as a gimmick without actually knowing how games work. In no way is this a perfect show, but, this is a pretty intelligent show. It's almost to gaming, what Silicon Valley is to tech companies. Some realism is lost through gags and bits but it's one of the most accurate depictions of game studios I've seen. Danny Pudi and David Hornsby are both great in this. So is Rob. This is a quality show. And guys, I know it's not a perfect show, but can you actually give it a go before bashing on it. Thank you

If you haven't watched the last two episodes of the last season quarantine and everlight. You really should. The writers and cast expertly portrayed the multiple ways people are dealing with this pandemic and I cannot give enough adulation about these productions. A guaranteed viewer from here on out!!!

Even without a history of gaming, this show is worth a watch if only to familiarize yourself with the industry while laughing. It has fun and interesting characters that can seamlessly span the distance between silly and serious (mostly silly) without coming across as artificial or preachy. The actors are great and interact well, which left me wishing there were more episodes to binge so I could see how their relationships develop.

I started out just watching a random show in the background while playing an mmo, but it slowly turned into something that drew my full attention as I gradually became completely immersed and invested by the end. Its writing and humor is refreshingly creative, genuine, and original, qualities that are all too rare these days, so I really hope we get to see more episodes soon!

That said, don't let my hype set your expectations too high, there's nothing revolutionary or uniquely exceptional about Mythic Quest... but it got enough right (with nothing wrong) to be my new favorite show.

I've gotten a few chuckles out of Phillie so I thought I'd give this one a try since I recognized a couple of big names from that series in the credits for MQ.

First couple of episodes were okay but then the series really hits it's stride. Excellent character development and the stand alone episode was fantastic.

For that episode, I got about 5 minutes into it and had to check to make sure I was still on the same series. I recognized the actors so I decided to stick it out. Wow am I glad I did. I prefer action and comedy to drama/romance but this was done perfectly.

A few big names in the cast but the key is the ensemble work. Each character has their own story and many are seriously dysfuntional. It's how these effed up personalities all come together under stressful circumstances to keep their fans happy that really makes it work.

Hope this series has a good run, I love it so far.

But it's so fun why people gotta hate good entertainment. and that episode with jake johnson was actually heartbreaking while remaining infinitely watchable. is it always sunny? obviously not, read the name.

Overall the show is about a 6.75/10, worth a watch but kind of all over the place in tone. It takes a break for the 5th episode though with an entirely different cast (Jake Johnson, etc) to tell a totally different, unrelated story over 20 years and that episode alone was a solid 9/10.

Why didn't they make that the show and stick with that tone?! It was directed by Rob and written by his sister Katie, so it's not like it was an outside team pulled in to do one episode, and it was amazing, and also very serious unlike the goofy, sitcom vibe of the show. The regular show is entertaining enough, but this story had me invested from the opening scene, reminded me a lot of Halt & Catch Fire. Anyway I would say the show is worth a watch but if you don't have the time just watch episode 5 as a stand-alone.

I really had a good time watching this, characters are great.. especially the old guy he's hilarious. From the opening scene I was on board with this, Mythic quest grabbed by full attention within 5 seconds of the pilot. I strongly recommend this, I will be returning for season 2

Rob is a genius. He knows what the audience want. This show is sometimes funny, sometimes dark, sometimes self-aware, sometimes petty, sometimes moody, sometimes downright hilarious. Sometimes sad and sometimes happy. This is weird show in a good way. This show has a soul and I appreciate rob for his efforts to move himself away from IASIP and create something which seriously competesh with it in terms of standards although tonally very different.

What happens when you put a few incompetent egotistical idiots in charge of a gaming company?

This is not Silicon Valley. Silicon valley had obscurity, wit and intelligent dialog. Mythic quest has none of these. There is a trend in US comedies to think that putting a bunch of people with loud voices and strong opinions in one room, constitutes good comedy. It does not. I think it stems from the popularity of Seinfeld, where the plot involves making mountains out of molehills. But unlike Seinfeld, this is not well written. The characters are unlikable, the solutions unrealistic. Being unrealistic isn't usually such an issue for comedy style's, as long as there is a comedic reason to do so. For people who like intelligent humour, this isn't it. And this is coming from a long time gamer.
