I watched the first season of "Mythic Quest" and felt, overall, that it just about did enough to stop me from abandoning it. The start especially, seemed to confusing shouting for humour, though this eased off a bit and I did say that I hoped the Quarantine special pointed towards a "better, less obvious, season two". I'm happy to say that it did, and the second season was much improved.
With Raven's Banquet now released, and Ian (Rob McElhenney) and Poppy (Charlotte Nicdao) now operating as co-creative directors, the question turns to what's next? Jo (Jessie Ennis) decides she's learned all she can as David's (David Hornsby) assistant and switches to Brad (Danny Pudi). Meanwhile, Rachel (Ashly Burch) is still struggling to express her love for Dana (Imani Hakim) when a new opportunity falls in their lap.
This second season of "Mythic Quest" was much better than the first, funnier, more interesting and more tonally consistent. Whilst not quite reaching the heights of congeniality that stablemate "Ted Lasso" manages, I think it was the right decision to make a few of the characters a little more likable than they previously were and the overall stories warmer. It also doesn't feel like this season is constantly trying to shout relevant things about the Games industry at us.
The best episode again is probably the one that has the least to do with the show's main narrative, "Backstory", in which we see a young CW Longbottom, played by Josh Brener, get his start as novelist and learn what jealousy and a moment of weakness has cost him over the years.
The series ends with a lot of potential about what the third season might entail, perhaps even with some changes to the cast. If it can maintain this level of quality though, I'll happily be back.
