Season 4 is just as refreshing as previous seasons. It’s just also taking a fundamental dynamic and bending it as far as it can, while growing the main characters in exciting, relatable ways.
-
Mythic Quest was already a must-see series, but Season 4 is easily one of its best yet, providing a strong showcase for everyone involved.
-
Every time a new season comes around, there’s a concern that a show about video-game developers has to have a pretty short shelf life. But like those mobile games that people never stop downloading, this comedy just keeps on clicking.
-
Mythic Quest is at a stage where it can take its time exploring and evolving the key relationships between its main characters, while keeping things funny, and we see that during the fourth season.
-
Gamer in-jokes abound, yet non-nerds need not fear – the video game setting, while sharply satirised, takes a back seat to a devastatingly funny portrait of workplace pettiness and the perils of putting too much technology at the disposal of the vain and dim-witted. Specific storylines involve industrial espionage and a disastrous murder mystery weekend, though plot largely takes a backseat to the steady supply of zingers.
-
Charlotte Nicdao is given a range of material that ensures she’s the standout of a terrific ensemble. Season 4 isn’t without its downsides: some characters don’t get as much meaty material, and other storylines fizzle too soon. But a fun detour into a murder-mystery outing finds Mythic Quest at its best, highlighting how the writers keep leveling up.
