For fans of Mythic Quest, especially the terrific bottle episodes “A Dark Quiet Death” and “Backstory!,” the perfectly titled Side Quest is a delightful miniseries that expands on the humor and themes of the mothership series without being overly reliant on it. With a four-episode anthology approach, some episodes are better than others, which is to be expected, but none are so much better or worse that a clear winner or loser emerge. Frankly, it's a testament to Mythic's world-building and writing that Side is so endearingly effective on the whole. Fans of the original series won't be disappointed, except maybe by the super short season.
