Billie, seen with rotten teeth and messy hair, plays a mysterious woman named Cassandra, who is able to make predictions about the future.

The show follows Zeus, who wakes up one day and sees a wrinkle on his forehead and believes it to be a sign that an ancient prophecy foretelling his downfall is coming to fruition.

In The Standard‘s four star review, Vicky Jessop writes ‘this is surely the most bonkers show it’s put out in a long time.’

She adds: ‘The show is an explosion of creativity that practically seeps off the screen, punctuated by sharp bursts of wit and pathos.

‘The story is mad, the energy frenetic and the performances off-the-wall. But it all just about hangs together, and the end result is a glorious burst of firecracker energy. Just the thing to stave off those autumn blues.’

KAOS: What are the critics saying?

The Telegraph

Rating:

Jasper Rees praises the dark-comedy as a ‘rambunctious reboot of the Greek myths.

He adds: ‘It all looks splendidly expensive, even without many special effects. The musical palette travels all over the shop too from Mozart to Bowie via Enya.’

The Guardian

Rating:

The publication hails the series as ‘witty, rigorous, hugely intelligent, funny and brutal.’

Lucy Mangan writes: ‘This fantasy series is an utter triumph. Its tale of Zeus and co living in the modern day is intelligent, twisty and action-packed.’

TV Editor Emily Baker notes: ‘An explosion of colour and detail that at times could be mistaken for a Versace advert, this is a big-budget, no-idea-too-wild romp through ancient Greek mythology – no classics degree necessary.’

Radio Times

Rating:

Louise Griffin says ‘it’s difficult to imagine anyone else in the role’ of Zeus as she heaped praise on Jeff Goldblum’s portrayal.

She continues: ‘With its stellar cast and surprisingly dark subject matter, Kaos brings something completely fresh to the table.

‘Pulling audiences headfirst through its unsettling, funny and gripping narrative, and blasting us with a soundtrack fit for the gods, KAOS holds up throughout its eight episodes, culminating in an epic and, once again, surprisingly dark final instalment.’

Financial Times

Rating:

The publication says Jeff ‘brings his usual zany charisma’ to his ‘effortless’ portrayal of Zeus but adds the series struggles to hold together a story.

They concluded: ‘Ultimately, Kaos is too plot-driven and diffuse to work as light diversion, too arch and meta to become sincerely invested in. It may be an imaginative take on ancient tales but it’s unlikely to go down as one of the classics.’
