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

Ignore the negative reviews here. They are from butthurt anti-Apple people who come into Apple TV+ shows expecting to be offended by Apple’s perceived wokeness. I think you guys need to learn from Ben Shapiro and stop wokescolding Apple.

Another great show from Rob McElhenney. The supporting cast is great and the writing is of course brilliant. A little confused about other's opinions: the show is a satire. It's not attacking the video game nerds so I don't know what they're talking about.

How is it possible that those guys are so triggered every time a series has more than 2 female Characters?
This show is not "woke". The development team in this show has 2 female developers and the rest are all male. The show is far from being "woke". I sense a lot of Always Sunny inHow 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

After a fairly mediocre pilot episode Mythic Quest hits it’s stride pretty quickly. Truth be told, if you have no interest in video games, it’s likely a number of jokes will go over your head, but for gamers like myself this first season provided plenty of laughs. There was even time to fit in a surprisingly moving episode, featuring completely different characters, mid-way through the season that showed a whole other side to this show.

It’ll be interesting to see what season two brings.… Expand

As I made my way through this series, I think I waived back and forth about whether I was enjoying it or not. However, by the time that I got to the end I feel like I'd settled on feeling fairly positive about it.

The characters are pretty well developed and I liked seeing a lot of these actors that I know from other popular series in this. They did a good job of being able to separate themselves in Mythic Quest from the characters they've become known for.

There are some average episodes here for sure but they tended to be followed by a stronger episode that kept me watching. I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next for this show.… Expand

It's not really funny. It could have been a decent show, the problem is, they put in all that woke s**t. This is neither funny, nor does it reflect reality. These moments are cringy and boring at best. They show terrible stereotypes about gamers. Some characters show potential but theyIt's not really funny.

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.
