I'll always stand behind the idea that this show is too ambitious for a 25 minute per episode format. But at the same time this season still felt fleshed out
I wish this show would just decide if it wanted to he a comedy or drama already. Drama and plot take up so much time that the comedy feels like nothing but a distraction to increase the runtime. Season 1 hit the perfect blend of the genre's but since then it's just felt off.
I don't know how they managed to turn Ian into such a nothing character this year. Outside of a few funny moments he just feels like such a non presence. Poppy on the other hand is just dreadful. Even giving her a backstory episode isn't enough to redeem her character.
The finale itself is so unremarkable because all it ends up being is a teaser for Season 4, which at least seems to be interesting. However, Ian and Poppy's ending was way too predictable as well as underdeveloped.
With all this said I'm still torn on if I liked this season more than S2 or not. Both suffer from so many of the same problems. Not enough comedy, episodes being too short with plots moving at a rate that feels kind of forced. Mythic Quest really needs to either increase episodes to 35-ish minutes, or at the very least add a few more episodes.
This season isn't awful. It definitely has it's moments and if you got this far you might as well keep watching. It's alright, just flawed.
Here's to hoping Season 4 has better pacing and finds a way to be more fun. Season 1 was a blast and I'd hate to see this show end with it as it's premature peak. But seriously watch this season for Brad, David, and Jo. Easily the best characters at this point and the only ones that got me through the season.
