Season 1 Review:
Your mileage may vary depending on how much this sort of drama appeals to you, but while the rethinking of these characters is conceptually interesting, even intriguing, after a time, I did find their internal squabbling, adulterous sexcapades and thoughtless cruelty increasingly tedious.

Season 1 Review:
Kaos offers some fun flourishes of originality, drama and intrigue through admirable rewrites of ancient Greek myths and legends.

But it's also a bloated series unable to adequately service its expansive cast of characters.

Season 1 Review:
You can still sense what I assume was an enticing outline that displayed Covell’s enthusiasm and made Netflix want to come on board. But you can also sense the places somebody hoped to come back and replace the generic gap-filling with high drama or comedy, and instead just left the filler.
