Krapopolis

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'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.

Seems like people didn't give this show much of a chance considering how many 1-3 star reviews popped up after just the first episode or two. Yes it's not R&M or Community but damn people at least wait until after the first few episodes to leave such bad reviews.

Really this show is in the 5-7~ range IMO, parts are good and parts are bad but it does have its moments. If you like Greek mythology and goofy comedy it's entertaining at least, the setting is interesting and the style of humor does seem a bit more like Community than R&M though it shares themes with both like dysfunctional family dynamics.

Seems like the kind of show that will improve over the first couple seasons as it spends more time world building and building up the character dynamics. Wasn't sure about it during the first few episodes but it does improve and going in blind helped, if you have high expectations you'll probably be disappointed but it seems like a lot of people are being overly harsh due to it not being Rick and Morty 2.0.

Hopefully it gets another season or two and a chance to improve.

While there were a couple of zingers that earned a silly giggle from us the humor was mostly the same we've heard from most of the 'comics' doing the voiceovers before and sounded unlike they were playing a character role but playing the same tired roles they've been playing for years.

Some of Matt Berry's jokes and Richard Ayoade's dialog were mostly repeats from The I. T. Crowd or What We Do In The Shadows albeit with a mostly different cast.

While we clearly enjoy the other shows we were hoping for something different this time. I'll watch a couple more episodes to see how it develops but for now it seems very mediocre considering the stellar talent list.

Krapopolis isn't a bad show at all actually. I'd say it's like a 6.5.

My main problem with the show is how inconsistent the quality is. You'll get good episodes like the forest party one with the wood nymphs, the evil tail, or the hydra episode, and then you'll get subpar ones like the ice week episode or the crown thief one. It's just frustrating because technically season 2 aired with the first so the second season airing right now is actually the third, so you'd think the show would be developed and already solved with the issues in the first season, which to be honest, the first season had some of the show's best episodes. But no it's just too inconsistent to be called a great show and that's the problem.

For characters, Tyrannis is just not very interesting and it's hard to care about him because he's just boring and episodes where he does shine like the evil tail one are all very predictable in the end. The most interesting characters are Stupendous and Hippocampus. They are easily the two best characters in the show and I find myself liking their stories much more than the other three characters. They're interesting, funny, and have some sort of depth to them that the other characters lack. Shlub and Deleria are alright but they're just filler characters for me in all honesty.

Also, this show relies too much on killing for its comedy which gets old after a while. I get it's a show about gods but they should change it up every now and then. All in all definitely not a bad show at all but they need to be more consistent with episode quality, especially since they are in the third season already.
