What to Know

Critics Consensus

A riff on Greek myth that is equal parts clever and overstuffed, Kaos falls just short of godly but still lands as a bolt of good fun.

Rendy Jones Autostraddle Kaos is another Charlie Covell classic. It is a perfect marriage of creativity and dark comedy under its own unique epic Greek odyssey. Feb 24, 2025 Full Review Hannah Giorgis The Atlantic A darkly funny, visually rich saga that highlights the enduring relevance of these moral quandaries and character studies -- without taking itself too seriously. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) There is much to enjoy, not least Jeff Goldblum... he's being the most Jeff Goldblum he's been in quite a long time. Sep 9, 2024 Full Review John Daniel Tangalin The Cinema Spot Despite how overwhelming of a close 8-hour marathon this show can be, Covell’s Kaos is flawless for open-minded viewers. Rated: 5/5 Jul 19, 2025 Full Review Emma Stefansky The Daily Beast It’s an addictive type of storytelling, and KAOS is a pomegranate well worth trying. Jun 5, 2025 Full Review Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk For audiences who are happy to brush up on their mythology, and open themselves up to the possibility of a series that is slavishly faithful to the text – then Kaos might just work. For anyone else going in blind, might we suggest a little light reading. Oct 9, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Kian A I went into KAOS not really knowing what to expect, but it completely surprised me. The mix of Greek mythology and modern-day absurdity is such a clever setup—gods in chaos, mortals in over their heads, all wrapped in this sharp, stylish world that’s both funny and weirdly profound. The cast is great, the writing keeps you guessing, and the visuals are just wild enough to feel fresh. It’s one of those shows that you can easily fall into and forget about everything else for a while. Sure, it gets a little over-the-top and silly sometimes, but that’s part of what makes it work. The humor balances the heavier moments, and the character arcs actually land in a way that feels surprisingly real. It’s bold, weird, and totally bingeable. Honestly, I’m super disappointed to learn it wasn’t renewed—because I would’ve watched another season in a heartbeat. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Some G. What a truly unique and entertaining way to bring Greek mythology into the modern world. Each unique spin and twist on the stories were so much fun, and the cast couldn’t have been chosen better (IMO) the color and art direction were as bold as the story itself. It’s a real shame it got cut short due to “metrics” I understand this project was likely an expensive one, BUT, I think, and it seems a lot of fans and even a cast member or two would agree, that it’s worth the financial risk to make something truly original and worth watching. Far better than plenty of past originals that have been renewed. Cheaper doesn’t always mean better. I think they really missed the mark by not renewing it for a 2nd season. Until then “Celestis! Divinitus! Insania! Vero!” Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/17/25 Full Review Joanna B This show was a pleasant surprise. I'm not one for greek mythology but I was absolutely smitten by the colours, acting, and the directing. Wish there was more! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Paul U My view was that it was the best drama that I had seen on Netflix. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/25 Full Review Candice H What a unique and clever show! I can’t believe we are being robbed of a second season! Bring it back! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/24/25 Full Review Michael B I really enjoyed this series. Some fun, mystery and mythology along with some good actors made it a winner.
