'Sarian'
Mythic Quest's latest episode solidified my love for the show.
Not gonna lie, I struggled to finish S1. It was funny but also felt, at least to me, a bit...hollow? From the first few episodes, I gathered it would be a mildly funny show with an ensemble of tiresome stereotypes. It wasn't bad. But it felt forgettable.
Then in S2, the image of the show I'd built in my head started to crumble. Like, I thought I had the character dynamics all figured out, only for my predictions to be upended (in a good way). Scenes I'd dismissed as superficial filler jokes came back to punch me in the heart. Throwaway jokes? Nope. The random things characters say or do actually matter. For that, they feel like complex, layered, real people. The tremendous amount of care the writers put in them began to feel palpable.
And now, I've made it to S3. There's not much else for me to say other than: Mythic Quest is a great show. Go watch it.
