Critic Reviews

Mythic Quest remains not only one of the smartest workplace comedies around but one of the funniest shows on TV.

Mythic Quest reminds us of how wonderful it can be to dip back into a comedy series that has so much to say about, and so much passion for, its actual subject matter.

Season 4 is just as refreshing as previous seasons. It’s just also taking a fundamental dynamic and bending it as far as it can, while growing the main characters in exciting, relatable ways.

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.

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.

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.

Mythic Quest was already a must-see series, but Season 4 is easily one of its best yet, providing a strong showcase for everyone involved.

Mythic Quest is funny. And Mythic Quest is capable of real feeling. The show’s biggest demerit, then, is that it can’t seem to find a way to be both at the same time; rather, it frequently feels like a tag-team match between its two sensibilities, with comedy doing the heavy lifting for the vast majority of that time. But that disjointed feeling isn’t enough to sabotage all the things Mythic Quest actually gets right.

Season 2 sees the writing team pulling almost all the right levers.

Every time a new season comes around, there’s a concern that a show about video-game developers has to have a pretty short shelf life. But like those mobile games that people never stop downloading, this comedy just keeps on clicking.
