Aug 19 2020
Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet is an Apple TV+ half hour comedy set at a small software company, developers of the wildly successful Mythic Quest MMO, just as they are set to release their next expansion, Raven's Banquet. It's a character-based comedy with a bunch of quirky characters:
Office politics + game design + MMO issues. episodes are usually entertaining and sometimes funny, rarely cringy. There is even a bonus 10th episode shot during self-isolation which hit close to home. Overall not a bad show.
- Ian Grimm (Rob McElhenney) - founder of the company and creative director, giant ego and he even has a major NPC in the game
- Poppy Li (Charlotte Nicdao) - lead developer often toiling overtime work with little credit, she starts to realize that she's quite underappreciated
- David Brittlesbee (David Hornsby) - executive producer, theoretically makes all the major decisions but is bullied by Ian and Poppy
- Rachel (Ashly Burch) and Dana (Imani Hakim) - game testers working in their own separate testing room, they might each have a secret crush on the other
- Brad Bakshi (Danny Pudi) - marketing and monetization, not amoral, just amoral when it comes to money
- CW Longbottom (F Murray Abraham) - head writer, award winning alcoholic novelist on the decline
- Jo (Jessie Ennis) - David's new assistant who gloms on to the alpha male of the company (usually Ian until David finally stands up for himself)
