Mythic Quest is a decent show. But their standalone episode “A Dark Quiet Death” is incredible.

Really been enjoying season 1 but got to this episode and was floored. Beautiful standalone story which shows how publishers will meddle into studio affairs and explores the debate of creativity and success. Jake Johnson and Cristin Milioti were amazing in it as well. Even if you don’t want to watch the whole show, you should give this episode a chance as it’s very loosely related to the rest of the series.
It's the only show with a covid episode that was good. So many failed attempts. They made a really solid one.
I didn't watch the show until recently but even seeing it much later I agree that it hit all the right notes. Just the right blend of comedy, emotional insight, and zoom shenanigans without overdoing or downplaying any aspect of it. It's crazy how I consider Craig Mazin's role in it as one of his finest moments just behind showrunning the powerhouses Chernobyl and The Last of Us on HBO.
