I'm going to take a gamble that the cancellation of "Mythic Quest" probable means that this spin off show isn't going to progress beyond these initial four epsiodes either - I may be proved wrong, in which case I'll write another review at the end of that season.
Phil (Derek Waters) an art director at Mythic Quest struggles to ignore Ian (Rob McElhenney) whilst on a vacation with his fiancé. Janae's (Shalita Grant) comic bookstore only receives one copy of a new Mythic Quest comic, leading to conflict amongst the patrons. Sylvie (Annamarie Kasper) cellist with an orchestra performing the Mythic Quest soundtrack on tour loses her love of music and Devon (Van Crosby) tries to organise his squad into an in-game raid, unaware that tensions have formed between them.
An anthology series, the four episode are all linked to Mythic Quest one way or another, and don't have any continuity between themselves and, in fact, with the exception of the first episode, don't have continuity with the main show. As with all anthologies shows, they are a bit of a mixed bag. Tonally it's similar to what "Mythic Quest" became as the show went on. They are mostly comedies, but each of them injects a healthy dose of pathos in as well.
For my money the worst one was probably the third one, Fugue. The concert one. It has nice performances, as they all do, but is less funny than the other three are, to balance out the whimsy of the story. The best of the four was probably the comic bookstore episode, again perhaps because it was the most traditionally funny of the episodes.
I'd have watched more, had Apple remained in the "Mythic Quest" business but by the same token, I'm not to sad to see this end here and to move on to something else.
