From Variety:
The following is a compliment: While watching the new “Mythic Quest” quarantine special, I forgot several times that it is, essentially, a very effective commercial for Apple products.
And:
With video technology already layered into the show, “Mythic Quest” was simply better equipped for a virtual special than most shows ever could be. And from a character standpoint, the show’s collection of nerds work together at an increasingly powerful video game company and already spend their days making cyber connections more tolerable or even more interesting. That is, after all, their literal job.
Some spoilers in the review, so I’d encourage you to watch the episode if you’ve not yet seen it. But the review captures what this episode did so well and, in my mind, shows the evolution of the work-at-home entertainment that we’ll surely see more of over time.
The second review is this one from Mashable, which folds in quotes from an interview they did with star and co-creator Rob McElhenney.
If you are into the show, or interested in the business of Apple TV+, both reviews are worth reading. And both show, to me, how much of a home run this series is for Apple.
