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.
I was the same way! It started as just a fun show to put on in between the heavy hitting drama stuff I was watching but this episode set the bar for the kinds of stories they could tell about the human relationships of game designer characters. They really start finding a lot of ways to push that same exploration of complex relationships as the series goes on with even a few more episodes completely dedicated to it like this one was.
