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.

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 Tariq Ra'ouf Empire Magazine With its modern twists and a broad cast of colourful characters — led by an imperious Jeff Goldblum — KAOS is chaotically good fun. Rated: 4/5 Sep 5, 2024 Full Review Neely Swanson Beverly Hills Courier The success or failure of such phantasmagoria depends on the player and, for the most part, the chaos of Kaos is full to the brim with wonderful actors who make both their characters and circumstances, if not believable, at least worth following. Sep 7, 2024 Full Review David Nice The Arts Desk The ancient Greeks would probably have liked a lot about Charlie Covell‘s manipulation of mythic material. Rated: 3/5 Sep 7, 2024 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator It’s sick, cynical, brutal and very, very dark but it’s so well acted, ingeniously plotted, moving, inventive, funny and addictive that I fear resistance may be futile.

Yolo K Incredibly creative twist to old time classics and to religion as well. I assume people who don't like it don't have much knowledge on ancient Greek culture (not that you need any to enjoy the show) so they can't appreciate the innovative genius on display here. On top it all, the actors are incredible and make these legendary characters come alive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review K I beyond bad. so campy and dumb, and not in a good way. hard to watch. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review Michael R Lots of fun to watch especially if you know Greek Mythology. The humor is subtle and quick with lots of fun references to mythology and current events. The cast is perfect for the characters they play, especially Jeff Goldblum as Zeus. The quirkiness of Jeff Goldblum fits the narcissistic, sex crazed, head of the gods Zeus. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Evil T i didnt enjoy this at all. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Melissa Juliette M If this doesn't get a second season I'm going to be depressed for months and will make it up in my head anyway. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Ben G This is genuinely one of the best season 1s I've ever seen. Aestheticly ambitious with one of the most unique fantasy worlds I've ever seen. It tops that Visually splendor with complex writing that takes just as bold a swing at the myths and characters we've known since childhood. It's an intensely engaging and challenging show that's not scared to ask big questions. It also has the balls to end on a set up for season 2 something we don't see often on netflix, especially for original programming. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Read all reviews
