Comment on Apple TV+ Comedy 'Mythic Quest' Canceled

Dang, I just got to episode five last week too. I had a feeling they would cancel this even from the first episode though, so I’m not too surprised.
I feel it was decent, but it’s a hard premise to pull off I feel. Most notably I feel this show would have landed more a few years ago. Some of the bits were a bit cheesy in a way that doesn’t necessarily land as much these days.
Maybe the issue it had was that it was trying to write to too broad of an audience? It’s going for a niche of nerds that maybe want to learn a bit more about what things are actually like inside these gaming companies, but then I feel some of the humor is washed down to be more palatable for even kids to watch. It had Rob McElhenney and David Hornsby from It’s Always Sunny which were great casting picks, but the humor they were delivering was very PG in comparison.
