Krapopolis

Set in a mythic version of ancient Greece, Krapopolis follows a chaotic household made up of humans, gods and monsters who try to keep one of the world’s first cities running without tearing each other apart. The show centers on Tyrannis, a proud but often exasperated leader, and the mismatched crew around him, as they argue, scheme and bungle their way through city life, lawmaking and personal rivalries. Humor comes from the characters' personalities clashing with grand, sometimes absurd situations, and the show's tone mixes slapstick with satirical takes on leadership, community and the messy side of tradition. There are fights and wild ideas, but the focus stays on how these characters cope day to day, not on sweeping plot mysteries.

Released in 2023, the series was created by Dan Harmon, with a voice cast that includes Richard Ayoade, Hannah Waddingham, Matt Berry, Pam Murphy and Duncan Trussell. The animated comedy blends original worldbuilding with the creator’s dark humor, and it arrived as part of a wave of adult animated series returning to network and streaming lineups.

Critical and audience reaction has leaned positive among viewers who like irreverent adult animation, reflected in a user score around 7.2 out of 10 from a small sample of votes. Reviewers often highlight the strong vocal performances and the series’ willingness to poke fun at myth and politics, while noting that the humor can be uneven episode to episode. The show treats themes of leadership, identity, and community with a sarcastic edge, and its episodic format keeps character conflicts front and center.

Krapopolis has generated discussion online for its fresh take on classical myths and for bringing a new original comedy into a crowded adult animation field. Fans have noted its quotable exchanges and unusual premise, and it’s become visible in conversations about how modern shows rework ancient stories for contemporary satire.

As of this writing, the series has not been widely cited in major award circuits, and there are no notable industry prizes to report.
