Apple please renew it asap because this ep looks like a series finale
Laqshayaroraofficial25 June 2021
Renew it before we start crying coz this ep looks like a series finale and we don't want this show to end. Problem with this ep is...I loved the everlight ep (1st season) and thought, every year they will be doing this...coz it was so awesome....but with almost all characters moving to different things, it may not happen now...every year they show 1 ep without the lead characters usually it's in the middle of the season, next time it may be the 1st episode.... Anyway waiting for 3rd season...this show is too good and creative to get cancelled.

Season Two Review
southdavid9 December 2021
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.

Still Just Okay
stevewings6 November 2021
Through two full seasons, I still don't think this show has figured what it wants to be, or what it wants its characters to be. It's a funny show, with a likeable cast, but Ian seems to have a life-altering epiphany every other episode, only to become a monster again soon after. The show never seems to make up its mind about whether or not we should be rooting for him episode to episode. He fakes a heart attack, is extremely rude to Poppy, but then he cries and says he's changed, and Mythic Quest thinks that's enough to qualify as growth for the character.

Beyond that, Brad is the only real issue on the show. I know it's a comedy, but his actions so rarely make sense, even for a sitcom character. And this is just a personal issue, but it's impossible to not just see Abed when watching Danny Pudi. All in all, the show is good-not-great pretty much every week, and this episode is no different.

Wonderful season
knappb1225 June 2021
The characters have grown so much but there's still a long way to go from here. I will be checking daily for season 3 renewal news. And if i hear its been canceled, so is my subscription to apple tv. Season 3 is set up to be the best one yet. And if its anything like Rob McElhenneys work on Always Sunny, season 3 is where the writing will enter its prime.

perfect closing & finale of season 2
boyidrus-0465725 June 2021
Been somewhat down by last week episode, but this one is just on another level. The chemistry, the plot, the surprise- It's all well directed.

rob wasn't kidding when he said the season finale feels like a series finale
dallonbrobeck25 June 2021
This show. This god dang show. I did not know where anything was going this season and I certainly did not expect it to end up here. That being said, I am certainly excited for the future of this show as I have no idea where it could possibly go. I just hope the quality stays where it is cause this season has been incredible. Someone just give Rob McElhenney his Emmy already.

TBD - 209

Warning: Spoilers
If this is the series finale, it was a bit of a letdown. I think there is room for growth, but I also think two seasons will help us remember the show more fondly.
