After a second-season finale that could have ended the show for good, the Apple TV+ comedy about video game development is back, funnier—and sweeter—than ever.
was up in the air . On one hand, the episode felt like it could double as a series finale—seeing as several of the main characters quit their jobs at the Mythic Quest video game development studio, including Poppy Li and Ian Grimm . But on the other hand, there was so much story left to tell—including about how Poppy and Ian’s new venture would go, along with how the rest of the characters would fare on their journeys..
The show’s heart still belongs to Poppy and Ian. The duo provide some of the biggest laughs along with the show’s biggest source of pathos. While McElhenney and Nicdao don’t skip a beat with the funnier moments of their characters’ friendship, they also bring devastating emotion to some of the more poignant scenes, of which there are plenty this season.
The season two finale may have found all the characters splitting off into new directions, as life often does, but they are really not as far apart as you may think. Ian and Poppy’s new office is, after all, just a floor below Mythic Quest. In fact, changing up the dynamics of the office allows for there to be new opportunities to pair unlikely groups of characters together.
Jo, the queen of the terrifying one-liner strikes up a friendship with Poppy and Rachel after a day-long brunch outing—which is easily one of the funniest episodes of the season. Ian and Dana take a road trip and find out that while they are extremely different people they are scarily alike creatively. Brad and Jo, while no longer in a mentor/mentee relationship, continue to strengthen their bond through new misadventures.
While C.W.’s presence is missed, the show fills up space by highlighting some of the other characters instead. We get to see a lot more of Naomi Ekperigin’s HR person extraordinaire/office therapist Carol this season, which is a huge win for us. She is the newly minted head of diversity and inclusion at Mythic Quest, a position she has been given with zero direction and budget. Instead, it’s just a title and no actual job responsibilities—“a peek behind the white curtain,” as she says.
