Kaos

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.

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.

Kaos is an absolute masterpiece! From its brilliant cast to its innovative storytelling, this series brings mythology to life in ways we've never seen before. The actors deliver stunning performances, and the music perfectly complements the unfolding drama. What makes Kaos truly special is how it reinvents ancient myths, making them relevant for our modern times. This is the kind of creativity we need more of in today's world. It's a true crime that Netflix isn't renewing this gem for a second season. The show leaves viewers wanting more, and it's clear that there are countless stories left to be told. Fandom, it's time to make some noise! Let's show the executives that passion and demand go hand in hand-make your voice heard so we can get the second season Kaos deserves!!!!

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.

Great acting and beautiful cinematography. I'm not a professional critic and didn't want to spend my afternoon preparing a written declaration of my love but I cannot believe that someone made the choice to cancel this show and this was the first place I thought of to voice my displeasure with the news. I can't imagine the reasoning behind it, was it too much to comprehend? Did it make someone uncomfortable? Did they want to spend their money making another terrible action movie featuring Mark Wahlberg?! This was art, an enchanting combination of modern and classical which made me interested in the ridiculousness of mythology again. I don't know what other shows are getting these kinds of acceptable ratings and still being cancelled but it seems unnervingly chaotic to me. Long live Kaos!
