If you like It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Silicon Valley you might want to check out Mythic Quest (www.imdb.com)

I feel like it leans more into the latter as a kind of tech industry comedy. It stars Rob McElhenney who played Mac in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and I feel like a lot of the humor his character adds is present in Mythic Quest.

I wanted to share this because I was pleasantly surprised by Mythic Quest and I feel like other people who are looking for a lighthearted comedy to watch might enjoy it.

Fair, and Charlotte Nicdao deserves more parts in bigger projects, but Ian is definitely, on net, a character we're supposed to root for while many of his real world inspirations are... not.

To be honest the first time I watched S1, I sort of read him as more of a deuteragonist, he's so ridiculous. I only really warmed to him once Poppy does.

There are so many characters with preposterous personalities - him, CW, Brad... for me Poppy's trajectory is the A plot and the testers are the main B plot.

That doesn't mean it's what the writers necessarily intended, though.
