After spending more than three years in development and receiving an order for three seasons before even a single episode aired, Dan Harmon’s Fox animated series Krapopolis has built up such a level of anticipation that anything less than a masterpiece would probably qualify as a disappointment. With that in mind, Krapopolis isn’t a masterpiece — at least judging by the three episodes available for review. But taken for what it is, the series proves to be a fun and entertaining addition to Fox’s long-running Sunday-night animation lineup alongside landmark shows like The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, and Family Guy.The first three episodes of Krapopolis lack the grand ambition of Rick and Morty, another animated Harmon creation. That doesn’t mean that Krapopolis couldn’t eventually develop a similarly intricate universe. But it’s perfectly enjoyable as a low-key comedy, albeit one full of gods and magic and monsters. It’s not as grounded as Harmon’s cult classic live-action sitcom Community, but Harmon captures relatable family dynamics in his cast of offbeat characters from the ancient world.The title of Krapopolis refers to a newly built city in ancient Greece, an early effort to steer humanity toward a stable civilization. The visionary behind this city is Tyrannis (Richard Ayoade), the city’s self-proclaimed king and the son of the goddess Deliria (Ted Lasso’s Hannah Waddingham) and a bizarre hybrid monster named Shlub (What We Do in the Shadows’ Matt Berry). His parents may be mystical beings, but Tyrannis is a regular human who just wants to make a mark on the world. He’s also meek and insecure, which are not the best qualities for a king, leaving him easily overpowered by his domineering family members.RELATED: NYCC: Rick and Morty’s Dan Harmon Previews KrapopolisRELATED: A Rick and Morty Anime Short May Have Confirmed Its Most Scandalous Theory
