Krapopolis

Yeah, I think Rick and Morty is great, aside from the gross out episodes, and Community remains a classic. Dan Harman's bee branching out a little with some side projects, all of which seem great by me, and all of which the usual MacDonalds Szechuan Sauce fans don't like. No doubt that this show isn't one of the best ever; but it's clever with how it plays with Greek Mythology, at the same time providing a good smile or laugh every 30 seconds or so. It remind me quite a bit of Disenchantment, which isn't as good as Futurama, but because its humour, plot lines and character progression is different from R&M doesn't make it not worth a few good hours of our lives to watch. It's weird, because compared to the appalling comedies out there like the generic sofa sitcom, or the like of Big Bang Theory or Young Sheldon, which people seem to love. The Dan Harmon fans are unwilling to keep a more than half decent comedy on air with poor reviews, so it will just be cancelled, by the Networks who won't produce interesting imaginative and thought provoking shows, isn't stay with the generic sitcom that pull in the wider audience. Advertisers love the demographic this brings in, and the only way to keep 'our' stuff on air is to support it. Nope, it isn't the greatest, but it beats the majority out there by miles. Give it a go, if You know your Greek Mythology it's clever and it is funny:)

I'm a huge fan of Dan Harmon so my expectations for this were high. Unfortunately this show didn't come anywhere close to meeting those expectations. I love the concept and the cast, but this show ultimately lets its own potential down.

The first issue that stuck out like a sore thumb was the poor comedic timing. Harmon's comedic timing is usually on point, but this felt way off. In fact it felt similar to other Fox duds like Duncanville or Housebroken.

The show isn't horrible, and it did manage to get a few chuckles from me, but I need more than that from a comedy. Both Community and Rick & Morty managed to make me laugh out loud with nearly every single episode. They also managed to make me care about their stories with each episode. That didn't happen with Krapopolis. The stories here are boring, the characters are boring, and the comedy is boring.

I'm honestly shocked that this is a Dan Harmon show because the quality I associate Harmon with is nowhere to be found. I wanted this to be so much more, but sadly it ended it being on par with the typical mediocrity found in modern Fox animated shows like Duncanville.

I feel like too many people have too high of expectations of this show, seeing as it came from the mind of Dan Harmon, one of the creators and the main writer for Rick and Morty. But here's the part that blows my mind: It's a LOT like Rick and Morty. It carries the same quick-witted humor and social/familial dilemmas, all while having fun reinventing the origins of many aspects to mankind, with a heavy Greek myth twist.

It starts out a bit off, to be honest. I felt like the modern speech infused with ancient Greek times was a tad annoying. I feared this show was going to try too hard, and just end up flopping. It had that atmosphere the first episode.

I am glad I stuck through it because it only took me through the second episode to really start getting into it. A lot of the fun has to do with putting fun spins on Greek gods. It exposes the Greek gods for what they really are: just like mortal humans, only with the gift of immortality. They're just as egocentric, crooked, zany, and erratic as mankind. They have family problems. They are NOT all-knowing, and they can have feelings.

Let's just take a moment to mention how awesome Matt Berry and Richard Ayoade are. I might be biased as a huge "The IT Crowd" fan, but those guys are just great. And I'm fast becoming a huge fan of the character Hippocampus, for a fish he's really got some huge balls. The way he deals with characters like Prometheus, or even his own step-mom. Pretty badass.

There is a lot of subtle humor too. Silly humor, cynicism, dark humor, irony, you know, the fun stuff. Like Deliria forcing two mortals to fan her while basking next to large fire lanterns. Or how little the lives of mortals are valued, by both gods and humans (and monsters). It's a good show, give it a try if you like adult animation and Greek mythology.

Just look how many of these bad reviews give ridiculously over the top score and/or clearly have an agenda.

If they're not even talking about shows that have little to nothing to do with this one.

One of them even admits watching 5 mere minutes of it before deciding to quit and give it a 1/10.

One other cries something about cultural appropriation like the most unhinged alt-right bozo you could find on the internet.

I'm only on episode 5, but I'm really enjoying it so far.

It's really funny and pretty clever, too.

Definetly a Dan Harmon show. And I suspect, like most great shows in the making, it hasn't even found its pace yet.

I will start this by saying I don't think this is a perfect show but I did enjoy the first few episodes. A lot of people were complaining about how it doesn't measure up to Rick and Morty. A valid but pointless observation in my opinion. This isn't Rick and Morty set in the past and that's what we need. Rick and Morty was lighting in a bottle not every show is going to be a home-run from the start but there's plenty of shows that didn't have a strong start and now are phenomenal Bob's Burgers being one. I think if you just ignore Dan Harmon's name and watch it don't think about the drunk science man show and critique it for not being that show. I think you will find yourself enjoying most of the first 3 episodes at the least. Now my really big issue with it that I just couldn't seem to look past is the voice acting from Matt Berry seems a little wooden to me and can't look past it. The first episode does start a little rocky but I thought the second two were completely better and have no where to go up from there. While the episodes aren't perfect I will say they are more consistently funny than new Family Guy episodes. Long story short. ITS NOT RICK AND MORTY GET OVER IT. Berry could do better. Give it a chance I think you will find a new comfort show for humor in this comedic romp through the Age of Mythology.
