For audiences who are happy to brush up on their mythology, and open themselves up to the possibility of a series that is slavishly faithful to the text – then Kaos might just work. For anyone else going in blind, might we suggest a little light reading.

Full Review | Oct 9, 2024

Kaos is a celebration of diversity in storytelling, with inclusive casting and a sharply insightful script.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 7, 2024

After a very solid first episode, the series does drag over the next few episodes, but it really picks up in its second half, all culminating in a genuinely excellent season finale that is all but guaranteed to leave you begging for more

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 6, 2024

A lot of fun, Kaos has a few drawbacks. It sort of dribbles to an end, allowing for a second season. And it never entirely shakes the sense that it’s an exercise in cleverness, a working out of its star English student’s high concept.

A reimagining of Greek myth, where all the stories you know well, or are completely innocent about, are reborn in a way that is equal parts uproarious and poignant

Full Review | Oct 4, 2024

The show often seems to forget that it is based on actual myths that some people in the audience are going to be not only aware of but also very familiar with.

With eight episodes of less than half an hour, 'Kaos' reinvents Greek mythology for new generations. That, thanks to its dark humor and brilliant use of satire. [Full Review in Spanish]

While Kaos occasionally swings for the fences with its numerous ideas, many of them feel a bit too safe. Conceptually, this world and the separation of realms is fascinating, but it isn’t always handled with care.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 13, 2024

A darkly funny, visually rich saga that highlights the enduring relevance of these moral quandaries and character studies -- without taking itself too seriously.

There is much to enjoy, not least Jeff Goldblum... he's being the most Jeff Goldblum he's been in quite a long time.

Full Review | Sep 9, 2024

The success or failure of such phantasmagoria depends on the player and, for the most part, the chaos of Kaos is full to the brim with wonderful actors who make both their characters and circumstances, if not believable, at least worth following.

The ancient Greeks would probably have liked a lot about Charlie Covell‘s manipulation of mythic material.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 7, 2024

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

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 5, 2024

It’s sick, cynical, brutal and very, very dark but it’s so well acted, ingeniously plotted, moving, inventive, funny and addictive that I fear resistance may be futile.

Full Review | Sep 5, 2024

Still, it's a sometimes compelling, often funny romp through an alternate universe where the gods are petulant, unforgiving, and sometimes wear Gucci.

Full Review | Sep 4, 2024

Deliciously colorful, delightfully queer, and full of heart. The only problem is there isn’t more.

Full Review | Sep 3, 2024

It's all reference and no reverence, almost as though the myths were used like pop-culture references in a Scream movie, more to flavor the story than to drive it. That said, the performances are universally good... and Kaos is a surprisingly easy watch.

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 3, 2024

“Kaos” has a lot of good laughs, delivered by an expert cast, yet it ultimately works because its barbarians are totally relatable.

Full Review | Sep 3, 2024

If there is a second season, [Kaos] must be bolder and braver if it wants to stay in the audience’s tongues.
