KAOS has recently made its way into Netflix’s Top 10 charts after the streaming platform added another new TV show to its collection with a highly appealing pitch.
The streaming platform has shifted its focus to Ancient Greek mythology with KAOS, a drama featuring Jeff Goldblum that adds a seductive twist to the well-known tales.
The new television series, featuring Goldblum as the elegant and anxious Zeus, has been marketed as a blend between “Succession”and Ancient Greece. Zeus is determined to maintain control over his mythical family, while a group of unsuspecting mortals unwittingly become entangled in a plan to overthrow them. The connection to “Succession”is clear, as the gods are portrayed as a dysfunctional and affluent family.
Currently, KAOS holds the number seven spot on the Netflix Top 10 TV charts and has an 81% rating on the Popcornmeter on Rotten Tomatoes.
Netflix subscribers are expressing their admiration for the new fantastical comedy series, with particular praise for the cast, from a fan’s perspective.
According to a post by a user on X, they expressed their enthusiasm for Kaos, stating that the show brilliantly incorporates Greek mythology into a gripping family drama with well-developed characters and storylines. They also praised the talented cast and visually stunning production, but admitted they may need to rewatch to fully grasp everything. The user ended their post by requesting a second season.
“According to another, Netflix’s Kaos is highly enjoyable and worth watching for fans of Greek mythology. Additionally, they praise Jeff Goldblum’s portrayal of Zeus as spot-on.”
Some individuals do not believe in the show. On the other hand, reviewers are not as enthusiastic. In fact, the Los Angeles Times asserts that the series has inconsistent tones and threads including comedy, tragedy, satire, and horror. These tones do not always blend effectively, and as the series becomes darker, it becomes less engaging.
According to Variety, the eight-episode series may highlight the perils of power and greed, but it is hindered by its convoluted plotlines and tiresome characters.
In our own assessment of KAOS, we stated that there is a significant disparity between the desired storyline and the actual visual representation on screen, solely due to the intended creative direction.
You can now stream KAOS on Netflix.
