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. Read full review

Is in league with some of TV’s best. It’s a smart, energetic series that contains what may be the most important element in a successful comedy: an alchemical ensemble of characters, each one as curious and distinct as the next. Read full review

Not only is it funny, but it sets itself up from the first minute as the next great workplace comedy, one that even gamers will like. Read full review

In its first couple of episodes “Mythic Quest” carves out its own niche, mining comedy from the specific realm of video game creation. A sociopathic intern who worships the boss, in particular, offers consistent laughs. Read full review

Though the characters are ill-tempered, the show comprises generally good-natured tales of competing egos and angry compromises. Read full review

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. Read full review

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. Read full review

How is it possible that those guys are so triggered every time a series has more than 2 female Characters?

Well, enough of that, i can really recommend it, it just feels like a mashup between Silicon Valley and Always Sunny. The characters are great and even if not everything is quite accurate about the game industry, most of it is authentic. I hope Apple+ will keep this series, its the first one i really liked on their Service.… Expand

I loved it. The story structure is great. The characters are well developed. You for a second almost forget about Cricket. In the pantheon of shows that have come out from ASIP minds, this one has been my favorite (sorry AP.BIO I still love you) I'm an older gamer in my thirties, and II loved it.

Fun and dynamic series about game dev life. Loved not childish humour and situation. Awaiting Season 2 !
Only some things that I think were bad: Besides series about games, it looks like guys who come up with ideas in the MQ don't play games. That does not look like fights in the MMO.

And Poppi - she is crazy narcis. How old is she? It looks like she is the youngest person and already Lead Programmer and have bunch of much older guys serving her. She can create features and release them, has love from the colleagues and gratitude from Ian that he always tell her. It looks like a fantastic life for any worker, but still, she hates everything and doesn't evaluate attention. Meantime she bullie Ian almost every episode and want his job - and it looks like it's a normal thing - is it?… Expand

Our show aims to be a classic reset comedy with the focus on the "fan boy/girl" community but doesn't have the guts to embrace key demographics.

Mythic Quest is better labeled a comedy/drama. Unfortunately, the show doesn't inspire chuckles enough to be considered a comedy or endearing us to the characters enough to be considered a drama.

The cast all have charming and great performers but the "jokes" aren't developed enough and are single-line zingers that don't add up to laughs. The brand of humor isn't consistent enough to be comforting and the B-story character's main traits of being diverse and woke isn't enough to invest us in the drama.… Expand

Really bad writing and a lot of bad acting. Tries to be silicone valley but without any charm or clever writing. Was clearly not written by gamers, constantly shoehorning in gamer words but the whole thing is cringe . I’m a big sunny fan and couldn’t get through 3 episodes.

I am appalled. The first episode was nearly unbearable to watch and I’m not going to see another episode. Lame jokes, obvious development and pointless characters are drawing a very bad light upon people who work in the field. Wonder how this passed Apples review.
