You don’t know quite what the next twist or turn may be, but you know that it will be funny, profound, moving – or all three – as well as being as compelling and rewarding as you could wish. It’s an absolute triumph – thank Covell and the gods. Read full review

With its modern twists and a broad cast of colourful characters — led by an imperious Jeff Goldblum — KAOS is chaotically good fun. Read full review

It could be too conceptual and overcooked for some tastes (you can practically smell the gold leaf frying in the Greek sun), but it’s so inventive and elaborate, you end up getting sucked deep into the spirit of it. Read full review

The first three episodes have a lot of toddler energy. As marvelous as the parts are — the bold gender-fluid and colorblind casting, the bravura of Goldblum and McTeer — “Kaos” can be almost overwhelming. However, as the threads begin to tighten and form patterns, and the introduction of new characters decelerates, the show gains traction and tension. Read full 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. (I do realize that these very elements will constitute a recommendation to some viewers.) Read full review

Kaos offers some fun flourishes of originality, drama and intrigue through admirable rewrites of ancient Greek myths and legends. And it’s all buttressed by skilled performances from the likes of Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer, and David Thewlis as dysfunctional, immortal rulers feuding over prophecies and power. But it's also a bloated series unable to adequately service its expansive cast of characters. Read full review

Ross McIndoe

Aug 28, 2024

The series doesn’t have a consistent enough internal logic to succeed as a grown-up fantasy series—at least one plot beat hinges on the fact that these nigh-omnipotent deities communicate by landline telephone—but it’s also not funny or outsized enough to function as a comic farce.
