    This show is predictably Woke, safe, and boring. It does have cringe, but not the funny kind. Mac is a scene stealer, but he's kind of wasted here. The author character and Poppy are okay. This show really feels like a contemporary corpirate product with annoying politically correct messaging in every episode. Evil natzees are the enemy, of course. So boring and stale. Why not North KoreanThis show is predictably Woke, safe, and boring. It does have cringe, but not the funny kind. Mac is a scene stealer, but he's kind of wasted here.

Not nearly enough attention paid to older games and the rich history and crazy characters in the industry. Uninspired.… Expand

    This show is terrible! The only good episode was the one with zero of the main characters in it. The one with Krumholtz and Milioti. I want to watch THAT show! This show is dumb, has nothing going for it, and the attempts at jokes are painful. Ok fine, Aparna Nancherla is funny. That's it!

    Unbearably woke. I couldn't even finish the first episode. Apparently all game programmers and gamers are young woke wahmens. Pass. The two points are for Mac and Cricket.

    I am appalled. The first episode was nearly unbearable to watch and I’m not going to see another episode. Lame jokes, obvious development and pointless characters are drawing a very bad light upon people who work in the field. Wonder how this passed Apples review.

    It's not really funny. It could have been a decent show, the problem is, they put in all that woke s**t. This is neither funny, nor does it reflect reality. These moments are cringy and boring at best. They show terrible stereotypes about gamers. Some characters show potential but they cannot make up for all the annoying agenda bs.

    What a joke? The joke is the show isn't for real gamers, more like a show to old people who have no idea how Video Games works. Aside from it, it has horrible acting and cringe "Woke" Moment. I wouldn't recommend this joke to anyone. PERIOD!!

    Really bad writing and a lot of bad acting. Tries to be silicone valley but without any charm or clever writing. Was clearly not written by gamers, constantly shoehorning in gamer words but the whole thing is cringe . I’m a big sunny fan and couldn’t get through 3 episodes. Bad attempts at being ‘woke’. Why are Apple originals so bad?

    Really bad jokes. Really bad acting. They try to be funny and with this they take a lot from the hard work that is actually done in gaming industry and treat it like a bad joke.

    Not only is it funny, but it sets itself up from the first minute as the next great workplace comedy, one that even gamers will like.

    Mythic Quest often plays like a mild lark uninterested in pushing itself into truly gonzo territory. Once its protagonists’ quirks and hang-ups have been firmly established, the series is able to play off of those attributes to wittier ends. Yet even so, none of its central figures are distinctive enough to stand out from any number of like-minded comedy efforts.

    Though the characters are ill-tempered, the show comprises generally good-natured tales of competing egos and angry compromises.
