Mythic Quest: Apple TV+ Has Their First Comedy

Apple TV+ doesn’t have much to offer just yet. Most of what the fresh on the block service ventures mostly into the drama genre. Now they’re spreading their wings and exploring a less serious side with comedies like Mythic Quest: Raven’s Banquet.

“The team behind the biggest multiplayer video game of all-time is tasked with building worlds, molding heroes and creating legends, but the most hard-fought battles don’t occur in the game — they happen in the office.”

Apple TV+ might have the money to be a heavy player in the streaming wars but are behind the curve when it comes to content. When it comes to their series, they need to hit on just about everyone to get people on board with paying once their free trial periods end. Luckily for viewers, Mythic Quest is on point.

A show that pokes fun at gaming tropes rather than gamers themselves, Mythic Quest has a similar feel to HBO’s hit show Silicon Valley which pokes fun at the world of tech. Both shows echo true to life experiences around the industries they work in. Most of the humor depends largely on relatability to the audience’s own interactions. While most gamers might not know what it’s like to work in the gaming industry, we all know what it’s like to deal with the demands of the workplace as well as how we’ve interacted with other gamers.

Mythic Quest: Ravens Banquet has already been picked up for a season 2 and we’re ready for more. It’s fresh, it’s funny, and it plays to the gamer in all of us. The hard part for the young comedy will be how far they can stretch the storyline. There’s an opportunity to run stories with each expansion of the game they come up with, but how long before the jokes get stale and we’re retreading previous jokes and mishaps? One thing for sure, right now Mythic Quest: Ravens Banquet is a hit for Apple TV+
