Netflix's Kaos Now Streaming

Netflix's newly-released series 'Kaos' is a modern, darkly comic reimagining of Greek mythology, featuring Jeff Goldblum as the paranoid and egotistical Zeus, who becomes obsessed with a prophecy of his downfall after discovering a wrinkle on his forehead. Creator Charlie Covell presents a unique blend of humor and drama, with the gods living in contemporary settings and dealing with modern existential crises. The plot revolves around Zeus's increasingly unstable attempts to maintain control over both gods and humans, and a group of mortals led by Riddy (Aurora Perrineau) who are destined to bring about his downfall. Initially set to star Hugh Grant, the series boasts a star-studded cast including Janet McTeer as Hera, David Thewlis as Hades, and Cliff Curtis as Poseidon. Critics have praised 'Kaos' for its imaginative storytelling, with The Guardian calling it a 'furiously fun masterpiece' and The Metro highlighting its 'cerebral, offbeat' nature. Filming took place in Spain, despite the Greek setting, and the show is now streaming on Netflix.
