The excellent three-episode run in the second season of "Mythic Quest" is a joyful reminder of how strong this comedy can be when it's really clicking.
The show seems more focused on going for the heart than consistent laughs. It gets away with it because of the deep bench of great performances, and how it takes the workplace sitcom into new, diverse areas. I just wish it...level up its comedy stats.
A major upgrade from the first season -- which was already great -- and deserves to stand out as one of the best comedies across streaming platforms and on television today.
They're endlessly nagging questions that leave people second guessing themselves on a daily basis. Yet this season Mythic Quest has found a way to explore these headaches without ever once compromising on humor or emotion.
I don't know how to explain it, but Mythic Quest is so much more than just a workplace comedy. It's a journey that highlights elements of empathy and vulnerability through a cast that knows how to garner laughs and emotional responses.
Mythic Quest continues to level up in Season Two, even with the characters all back in the office together. It's now a consistently funny show, on top of an emotionally effective one.
