Today we're discussing the new Top 10 Netflix streaming show, "Kaos" (2024). Created by Charlie Covell and starring Jeff Goldblum as Zeus, this limited series is a contemporary retelling of Ancient Greek mythology that is darkly comic and epic in scale. Winding between the jealous gods of Olympus, the apartheid state of Minoan Crete/Krete, and the grey bureaucracy of the Underworld, this is the story of how three unwitting humans may bring about a catastrophic ancient prophecy. It's got Zeus (Goldblum), Hera (Janet McTeer), Poseidon (Cliff Curtis), Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan), Orpheus (Killian Scott) and Eurydice (Aurora Perrineau), the Fates, the Furies, and anything else a Classics scholar could dream of -- let's get into it!
