Summary
Reviewers say 'Mythic Quest' is lauded for its humor, clever writing, and strong cast chemistry, especially Rob McElhenney and Danny Pudi. Its unique video game industry perspective and blend of dark humor with character growth are appreciated. However, some find issues with character depth, inconsistent tone, uneven writing, occasional pandering, and underdeveloped or unlikable characters. Despite these criticisms, many recommend watching, noting improvement over time.
Featured reviews
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.

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
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 !
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.
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.
