5 Reasons You Should Watch Mythic Quest

When you look back at older sitcom shows like Friends or Seinfeld, they were based around the daily comings and goings of life in their era, so to set them in an apartment or coffee shop was ideal because of the social element it created. As this trend continued, showrunners and creators found new locations and ways of refreshing that original concept without doing too much new.

Ross and Rachel might be the shorthand for the sitcom romance now, but before them, it was Sam & Diane from Cheers. This has since been updated further over the years with How I Met Your Mother & other series.

However, with Mythic Quest, they have done away with a setting that can speak to a wide scope of the population in as broader terms as possible and concentrated instead on an underrepresented sub-culture; one which in the past two decades has slowly become as mainstream as the coffee shop used to be for social interaction. Namely, online video games.

So many people can now understand what it is to watch a streamer play your favourite video game and interact with thousands, sometimes millions of fans, around the world.

In this way, setting MQ in an online world actually speaks to a new generation of people who identify more with that than they do the coffee shop, as well as being unique to its era.
