Summary
Reviewers say 'Mythic Quest' is lauded for its humor, clever writing, and strong cast chemistry, especially Rob McElhenney and Danny Pudi. Its unique video game industry perspective and blend of dark humor with character growth are appreciated. However, some find issues with character depth, inconsistent tone, uneven writing, occasional pandering, and underdeveloped or unlikable characters. Despite these criticisms, many recommend watching, noting improvement over time.
Featured reviews
Funny show with a lot of heart. While it is from 2 of the creators of always sunny, it is a completely different show. More reminiscent of silicon valley.
It's ok for shows to leave off on a cliff-hanger, even when they've been cancelled. Please bring back the original ending. It lets the series linger in the hearts of the audience and was the original intention of the creators. All great stories come to an end, but the new edit was devoid of the passion we've all been waiting for for so long.
The ending felt like another Ubisoft title that was rushed to the market, and now the fans are, once again, stuck waiting for the load screen. No matter, the performance of this show wasn't always the greatest but it did tell a unique perspective in the relationships of the characters. That's what gave it the heart it had. The original ending was the best. Please reconsider or allow an option to choose which to watch.

The show maybe not the best comedy right now but they got me with its two episodes; A Dark Quiet Death and Quarantine.
I've started the show thanks to Danny Pudi and until the 5th episode (A Dark Quiet Death) the show was trying to find its pace. But, 5th episode is one of the best standalone episodes I've seen that is touching lots of elements throughout 30 minutes.
Again, with the Quarantine episode, they turned their disadvantage into an advantage and made a great episode.
Other episodes had their ups and downs but this show still worths a try no doubt.
I hope they will keep their trajectory still because they have a good cast and an opportunity.
Edit: These last episodes "Backstory!" and "Peter" have been such beautiful experiences. Just brought me tears as we witnessed the past of C. W. (Wonderful Murray Abraham) and bringing closure to it in the very next episode.

I had a hard time rating this show since it had a steady slide and then after Season 2 it just dropped off a cliff. My theory is Rob didn't expect to get that far and didn't really have a plan for what would happen after Season 1, certainly not Season 2.
Ian and Poppy are just fantastic characters and carry the show. The flashback episodes are amazing, especially Season 1's, and this show tackles assumptions and discrimination in the video game industry. I have no idea why they didn't dump Rachel after Season 1 as the character is incredibly obnoxious and detracts from the comedy.
All that said, anyone should watch Season 1 of this series, it is a gem. Season 2 is "meh" and I have no idea what happened with Season 3, I quit after three episodes since it was obvious they lost their way.

After first two episodes, it gets better , there is a tone and style change . Some people likes to compare it to Always Sunny , there are similarities, but it's a different show , try to enjoy it as it is !

- TriviaThe creators wrote in the show's bible that, under no circumstances, can Ian Grimm and Poppy Li have a romantic relationship or fall in love with one another. "One of the things we wanted to stress in this series is that a man and a woman can both be adults and be best friends with each other, with zero romance. We have evolved enough as a society where that is now ok, and we wanted that to be one of the bedrocks of the series," said co-creator Megan Ganz in an interview.
