Mythic Quest remains not only one of the smartest workplace comedies around but one of the funniest shows on TV.
It would be enough for “Mythic Quest” to be funny, and it is. But in taking on the complex, under-examined world of video gaming, the creative team gave themselves a rich area in which their wild, clever, selfish characters can bounce around unlike any other currently on TV.

This show has so much charm. It's great as a drama and a comedy. I love all the characters, and I care about them like they are my friends.

I thought it was a lame copy cat of other comedies but instead **** of friends (or a set of software devs in silicon valley), it’s a group of video game designers. But this is so much more. It’s funny, charming, relevant and even political in its undertones. Definitely worth a watch for anyone. And if you’re a lover of video games, you’ll wonder how you’ve gone so long without watching this. It’s fantastic

After watching all 10 episodes, it’s clear that giving us time to watch these characters continue with their lives was the right move.
The first half of the season leverages these characters less as nuanced people than as bundles of eccentricities. ... The second half of the season more deeply examines the ambitions and fears of its characters, as well as the video game industry’s power dynamics. ... Though the episode [“A Dark Quiet Death”] is self-contained, it infuses the rest of the season with subtle weight and sympathy.
I'm no fan of video games, but I'm hooked on the sardonic silliness of Mythic Quest. [10 - 23 May 2021, p.9]
Ultimately, I think I ended up feeling positive about Mythic Quest: Raven's Quest despite thinking the show is very hit-and-miss on an episodic level. It's not consistent, but it's already trending in the right direction in a story that, unlikely It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, features characters who can and should grow.
The first few episodes are so full of smirk-inducing, long-winded bits that stammer on for such prolonged, repetitive back-and-forths that you’d think Judd Apatow let the cast run wild. ... Sometimes Mythic Quest’ll try for romantic or feel-good subplots that just utterly crash and burn, with little blame resting on their actors. ... Not just an unfunny comedy, but an entirely ineffective show that doesn’t seem to know what it is or where it’s going in a second season that Apple has already greenlit.
Awesome show! I was really surprised how good this show is. Very funny! If you are into gaming or the gaming business the show is so great! But also for people who are not into gaming! Love it and can’t wait for next season!

Half really funny, half eye rollingly bad. Kind of painful to watch, plus character arcs are repetitive, like Poppy desperate for Ian's **** 3 seasons? Characters are thin stereotypes, which can be used to great comic effect, but also can be bland and feel completely fake. Double edged sword...half of the episodes are really smart and half are going for low hanging fruit or worse, aggressively stupid. This unevenness makes the show tiresome. Can't finish season 3...I enjoyed certain episodes but, I'm out.

Season 1: 7/10 Season 2: 1/10 What have they done? They killed the series! Everything has changed into aggressiveness and dumb fighting against each other. Not even one episode where people are just having fun with each other, where the atmosphere is light or positive. Wow, never expected (after watching season 1) they could destroy all sympathies for all characters at once. Sad.

This show is quite literally unbearable. There can be humor in a "village idiot" character - but not when the entire show involves this behavior. It is hard to believe that any of these characters would even survive an internship at a videogame development studio and i cannot stomach the idiocy. I'll state my bias - Mac is my least favorite of the Sunny bunch - and seeing him play that character (turned up to 100) non-stop is brutal.
Anyhow - teens and desperate geeks / sunny fans - enjoy. For the remaining 99% - i recommend skipping.
And for the record this does NOT share a pedestal with the great silicone valley!
