I honestly don’t have a lot to say about why I enjoyed this show so much. And I shouldn’t have to. Jeff Goldblum plays Zeus. Isn’t that enough for you people?

Kaos is a story about the Greek gods, but if they were the family from Succession. These Greek gods are likeable yet unlikeable, and exactly as complicated as the ancient myths made them out to be. The costume design is also really fun. The “Olympians as out of touch rich people” things works So Incredibly Well and is very funny.

I truly wonder why I haven’t heard more about this show! I’m also sort of surprised that we haven’t seen a retelling of Ancient Greek myths in this style before (or at least I haven’t). The closest I can think of is Lore Olympus, which I have so many issues with that I really won’t be recommending it, or maybe Percy Jackson.

A lot of Choices were made in Kaos. You can tell the writers love Greek Mythology. Even though they made some #Choices about the way they portray characters from myth in ways that I maybe wouldn’t have, none of them disappoint me. Everything in the show serves a very clear purpose, and the whole thing is just really well put together.

The show has apparently already been cancelled, but I would have really liked to have seen what they do with the Gods we didn’t get to see in the first season. I would also have loved to see how the story ends but we all know Netflix hates good television so sucks to be us I guess. Maybe if Netflix wants people to see their shows they should market them a little.
