Season 1 Review: It also feels like a seamless extension of the original series, exploring what it means to be a creative person in a commodified world and what community looks like for those accustomed to living inside their own lonely minds. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Overall, Side Quest waxes and wanes in quality, carrying some writing flaws while achieving moments of dramatic greatness. But luckily, it ended on a high note with an episode that is a touching tribute to the gaming community. Read full review
