Some of the minds behind "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" trade that show's dingy bar lighting for the fluorescent shine of a video game studio in this new comedy series, the latest entry in Apple's quest to shake up the world of streaming TV. Created by the "It's Always Sunny" stars and producers Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day along with Megan Ganz, another producer of that show, "Mythic Quest" centers on a fictional video game company headed by a controlling, self-obsessed creative director (McElhenney, whose character does things like bring his own PowerPoint remote to somebody else's presentation).
We have the slow, painful death of romance ("Marriage Story"); a dour, near-funereal shaggy-dog story about a phlegmatic hit man ("The Irishman"); a blackly funny but agonizing depiction of contemporary social polarities culminating in gore and gristle ("Parasite"); a wish-fulfillment fantasy of an alternate-universe 1969 whose climax is no less bloody ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood"); a harrowing odyssey through the muddy, corpse-ridden battlefields of World War I Europe ("1917"); and an origin story of a comic-book sociopath ("Joker") that seems almost nostalgic for a dingy, crime-ridden urban landscape straight out of the Bronx-is-Burning era of 1970s New York.
