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.

Kaos is another Charlie Covell classic. It is a perfect marriage of creativity and dark comedy under its own unique epic Greek odyssey. Go to Full Review
Hannah Giorgis The Atlantic 09/09/2024
A darkly funny, visually rich saga that highlights the enduring relevance of these moral quandaries and character studies -- without taking itself too seriously. Go to Full Review

5/5
Despite how overwhelming of a close 8-hour marathon this show can be, Covell’s Kaos is flawless for open-minded viewers. Go to Full Review

It’s an addictive type of storytelling, and KAOS is a pomegranate well worth trying. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

Marlene A Dec 23 This show is incredibly fun, hilarious, and utterly refreshing. I can't believe they canceled such a fantastic series. It’s the kind of show I'd happily rewatch from the very first season whenever a new one drops. Truly a shame we only got one season. See more uwe p @ucape Dec 17 it is definitely by all means a great show; a really excellent sort of modern „adaptation" of greek mythology - and in a certain way very close to the complex and non-linear pattern of gestures, meanings and (a-)morality of the old narratives, figures and ideologies. See more Jordan M @jmiddleton Nov 18 Amazing show. I was hooked See more Jadranka S Nov 8 Brilliant show, excellent plot, great acting, I truly don't understand why Netflix cancelled it. See more Nikolenko F Nov 4 "KAOS" is an amazing series — a brilliant piece of satire on the modern world. Honestly, it’s one of the best things Netflix has produced recently. It’s a real pity it hasn’t been continued for a second season, but hopefully the studios will reconsider, because this show truly deserves it. A clever and refreshing rethinking of mythology in today's reality. Highly recommended. See more Kian A Oct 29 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. See more Read all reviews
