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 Steve Murray ArtsATL A lot of fun, Kaos has a few drawbacks. It sort of dribbles to an end, allowing for a second season. And it never entirely shakes the sense that it’s an exercise in cleverness, a working out of its star English student’s high concept. Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Mini Anthikad-Chhibber The Hindu A reimagining of Greek myth, where all the stories you know well, or are completely innocent about, are reborn in a way that is equal parts uproarious and poignant Oct 4, 2024 Full Review Clotilde Chinnici Loud and Clear Reviews The show often seems to forget that it is based on actual myths that some people in the audience are going to be not only aware of but also very familiar with.

Paul B Take the philosophic, mystery-prone (yet arcane) self-exploration of Westworld and the wry, intelligent humor of The Good Place and you have this beautiful and compelling gem: KAOS, A fresh new take on some of humanity's oldest tales in a lush and crisply realized series. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/04/24 Full Review Meghan B Wow. An objective masterpiece. I don't remember the last time I've seen a newer show THIS good. The final episode was 1000/10, perfect build up, perfect tone, comical yet dark. Please watch!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/03/24 Full Review S P Easily one of the best series I’ve seen in a while. The world building is thorough and convincing. The humor is smart and dark. Just enough shocking moments to keep you guessing. I am dying for a second season! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review jarrod n Creating a modern myth within the realm of Greek mythology isn't easy but I think they nailed it. If you are looking for a retelling of the same myths you know and love your not going to get it here. You are going to get a reshuffle of the Greek mythos with Jeff Goldblum as a spiteful jealous human hating Zeus. The only thing that made me mad was getting to the end of season 1 and realizing I would have to wait for more. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/01/24 Full Review Cynthia B This is the best series I’ve seen in such a long while. It is intelligent comedy at its best. The acting is brilliant and the writing is quite clever. I am a big fan of Goldblum, perfectly cast as Zeus. I do love me some Eddie Izzard! I was delighted to see her cast as one of the Fates. The amazing Debi Mazar as Medusa rounded out all the actors of which I was already familiar and admire. I was most taken by Misia Butler, as Caenus, one of the male romantic lead roles. Such a feeling of ease in his acting not to mention that he’s downright dreamy. Yes, I am crushing on him. I hope this series launches him into the stratosphere. I could write a paragraph about each actor & the storyline but I don’t have that kind of time. Just watch it! It helps to know a little about Greek mythology but it’s not necessary. The stories are modern allegories and you’ll see present day politics, religion and the characters which make up all that, in Kaos’ interpretations of the ancient myths. If you like it, spread the word & give it a good rating here so Netflix with renew it for a second season. Peace Out ✌️ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Guy F Think of Kaos along the lines of "The Simpsons:" Biting social satire that at first glance is perhaps seen as a whimsical caricature but actually is a pretty damn accurate depiction of humanity.
