Kaos

Listen. I get it. This isn't for everyone. Because if you don't know enough about greek mythology you are going to miss a lot of things. I am Greek and I always had a passion about mythology. The show is filled with Easter eggs about Greek mythology and if you know the original characters and their myths it just clicks, it gets so much more nuanced and it's hilarious. I can't tell you if you'll enjoy it the same without knowing Greek mythology in depth. At least read about Orpheus and Eurydice and the underworld to have a better understanding and you'll enjoy it( and maybe the myth of Prometheus ). Jeff Goldblum as a God is always a good idea never the less.

Erghh who cancelled this?

It's such a fun and eclectic new series! Funny, sweet but nooooo, Netflix had to cancel another great quirky show. It's Dirk Gently all over again!

Whoever canned this show should be fired.

I loved the theatrics and comedy. The cast were perfect and the whole idea of it was amazing! So original but took a great twist with the old Greek myths. Loved the song Eurydice too. Jeff gold mum played the most epic Zeus too. Sorry but anything he is in should never be cancelled. The man is an absolute legend in everything he does. God damn you Netflix! I'm cancelling my subscription. Bye!

Canceled?!!!?? Unbelievable, Netflix comes up with something truly original and they then cancel it.

Anyways, it's a fun retelling of greek myths, high quality acting and beautiful cinematography. I'm in my fities and bingewatched it with my 19y old son who was even more into it then I. Then mentioned it to my 85y old mom who enjoyed it so much that she's been telling all her friends - so a wide demographic or what!

Prior knowledge about the myths is not necessary, it probably adds extra layers of enjoyment but not a prerequisit, it's fun which ever way. And as mentioned i thought the design and filming were excellent - beautiful colors, sets, angles - high cinema quality. I was really looking foward to the new season to see what they'd come up with next... Netflix doesn't know a good thing when they have it.

The most glaring example of wasted potential I have seen from netflix since inside job. An incredibly fun watch with a perfectly selected cast. Almost every character was loveable and I found myself interested in relationships and tropes I usually discount. While not totally faithful to mythology it is certainly getting as close as it can while keeping their story in tact. I can immediately see how this season sets up for dionysus becoming closer to his mythological counterpart. Charming the whole way through, kept me engaged and invested in all our main characters by giving them each a nicely balanced allowance of screentime. Gives more focus to characters when they need it for big plot moments.

Have to say that dionysus, zeus and prometheus really steal the show at times and im not complaining. Dionysus especially was such a joy to watch and I found myself becoming very attached to his character early on. Watching him mature as the episodes go by is so satisfying.

I found myself very interested in the overall plot as well! Devastated we may never find out what was originally planned. I see hints of bringing in usually forgotten greek gods like the primordial gods, one of which.. being Chaos.

All round wasted potential and such a huge disappointment that this show was cancelled after only just over a month of being released. Whoever made this decision at netflix deserves to be fired.

Netflix is a joke if they think that they're just going to cancel the show after a great season that ends with a cliffhanger. You don't need to be an expert in Greek mythology to enjoy this show. The cast is really good. The characters are fun. I'm not sure what the point was of making the show if they weren't going to at least give it a chance with a second season. Maybe it wasn't the number one show out there but it seemed to me like a bunch of people were talking about it and watching. Also to cancel it when it was released barely a month ago is an odd choice. Wouldn't they keep it on Netflix longer before deciding to cancel. There's not much more to say than we need season 2.
