I found it fun. There’s more opportunity for sweetness as you get to know the characters. The arc of the QA engineers is excellent.

For the most part it's a similar style after. I found it amusing overall just seeing the game development industry being satirized, just like I enjoyed HBO Silicon Valley in that way even if it wasn't necessarily a great show. Episode 5 specifically though comes out of left field, and is one of the best episodes of television on the platform.

I wouldn’t expect everyone to like Mythic Quest. You’ll like if you like It’s always Sunny in Philly.

I absolutely loved Mythic Quest, but if it didn’t grab you after the first episode, then it’s just not your cup of tea.

We started watching Episode 1 and I hated it and we turned it off. It turns out that the part that we were watching was the advertisement that was put together by the creator and it's supposed to be terrible. After watching it a bit longer, it hits its stride. It's not as good as "Ted Lasso" or even "For All Mankind", imo, but it's a decent comedy with some very self-aware humor.

For the first four episodes of Mythic Quest it seems like a standard comedy show from a template, done reasonably well with good acting, but not great.

Episode 5: “A Dark Quiet Death” takes a left turn so bizarre that for 5 minutes I thought my AppleTV had switched to an entirely different show. When I finally realized it was the same show in a different time, place and with different characters I was like OK, that’s it, I gave it enough of a chance, time to stop watching.

But just before I tapped the menu button, Doc and Bean drew me in enough to watch longer, and longer, until I reached the end.

By the end I decided A Dark Quiet Death was one of the best tv episodes I’d ever seen. I wasn’t crying, you were crying! my eyes were just very, very dry and tired, and sad.

And even though the story returns to present day in the very next episode, every episode after A Dark Quiet Death was imbued with a great deal more meaning. And an understanding that making games isn’t just a fun way to make a living. Sometimes it’s an expression of things you really care about, and an attempt to communicate those feelings to others.

I love the show. It grows on you. There is a lot of heart and story in it.

Very enjoyable. And makes you appreciate the challenge of EV infrastructure in the developing world.
