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.
It's the common sense to make jokes that gamers would make about games rather than jokes that non-gamers would make about gamers that keeps Mythic Quest harmonious.
Mythic Quest tries to use the workplace comedy blueprint to tell its story, but simply plugging in different characters and a modern setting into a classic formula doesn't always work out for the best.
When it wants to be, Mythic Quest can be a shockingly thoughtful series about the conflicts that arise between ego, collaboration, and money in a swiftly growing field like games.
The more interesting part of Mythic Quest comes when it's not even trying for laughs... In the meantime, there's enough in Mythic Quest to suggest this group has comic life beyond Paddy's Pub.
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.
Buoyed by its incredible cast and clever writing, Mythic Quest finds itself in the unique opportunity of being an exciting addition on Apple's platform.
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.
