Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet - Season 1

In taking on the complex, under-examined world of video gaming, the creative team gave themselves a rich area in which their wild, clever, selfish characters can bounce around unlike any other currently on TV.

The more interesting part of Mythic Quest comes when it's not even trying for laughs... In the meantime, there's enough in Mythic Quest to suggest this group has comic life beyond Paddy's Pub.

It's not consistent, but it's already trending in the right direction in a story that, unlikely It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, features characters who can and should grow.

When it wants to be, Mythic Quest can be a shockingly thoughtful series about the conflicts that arise between ego, collaboration, and money in a swiftly growing field like games.

The show addresses anxieties about digital tyranny with a few satirical pinpricks, in the course of unevenly excavating humor from open-plan angst, casual sexism, and inadequate management skills; it's most powerful when dealing in pettiness.

For a show to shake off a potentially ropey premise and become something as confident as powerful as this is incredible.

Rob McElhenney looks like he's having a blast in this free-wheeling little workplace comedy... Tech-savvy fun.
