This starry-voiced adult cartoon by Rick and Morty creator Dan Harmon quietly dropped on iPlayer last month. Set in ancient Greece, it follows benevolent Tyrannis (Richard Ayoade) – the mortal son of vain goddess Deliria (Hannah Waddingham) and husband Shlub (Matt Berry) – who uses modern ideas as he rules Krapopolis. Served up in fun 20-minute bites, this six-episode bill will race by. Hollie Richardson
