I remember loving seasons 1 and 2 and being very underwhelmed by season 3 but this season seems to have started off extremely well. I really should do a complete rewatch. It was a shock to get a notification that there were 2 episodes for me to watch today! I'm hoping there can still be some buzz about this show because I do want it to continue.

Looking forward to your reviews this season.

In anticipation of Season 4 starting, I rewatched Season 3. I hadn’t seen it since it last aired at the end of 2022 (!) and I’d since seen people quibble about it not being as good.

I watched it in like 3 days, testament to how quick and breezy it is compared to some other shows with similar episode lengths. And had a fun time!

But yes, I do agree that the show stepped too far from the status quo in having characters at a remove from one another. It’s great to see everyone back in the same space, and characters like Ian and Brad interacting (I can’t remember the last time they did prior to these new episodes).

Thought these new episodes were crackling and funny. Love that a new wrinkle is found with Ian and Poppy and we have not regressed in their relationship.

I’m a big fan of this show; I was reminded in the last week that it is one of the most consistently funny sitcoms on TV at the moment and I am glad to have it back.

I caught up on this during the interregnum so I'm happy to be along for the conversation ride this season.

I don't have any big thoughts about these two episodes other than it's nice to have MQ back. These are funny characters in a fun world. As for the new normal it's hard for me to imagine how something like Playpen would actually integrate into a game like Mythic Quest, but I guess that's a just go with it situation.

I don't have any particular expectations for the season, but I hope we get some kind of check in on Ian's son.
