The eight-episode series from The End of the F***ing World creator Charlie Covell has left experts impressed with it's modern take on Greek mythology. Starring Hollywood star Jeff as a power-hungry, track-suit wearing Zeus, his 'effortless' portrayal and 'zany charisma' has left viewers wanting more. The show follows his character, 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.

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.' The Hollywood Reporter praised the 'impressive cast and cheeky tone' but said it shows 'little investment in substantive follow-through.
' They write: 'The series becomes an almost nonstop stream of neat bits and pieces, fused by an over-aggressive soundtrack and intrusive Promethean voiceover instead of by an actual narrative.

Jasper Rees notes: '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.
'When Zeus takes the form of Jeff Goldblum we are clearly in the realm of neurotic comedy.' In The Guardian 's five star review the series is praised as being 'witty, rigorous, hugely intelligent, funny and brutal.' Lucy Mangan writes: 'Hilarious, profound and moving: this fantasy series is an utter triumph.
Its tale of Zeus and co living in the modern day is intelligent, twisty and action-packed. 'It’s an absolute triumph – thank Covell and the gods.' KAOS: What are the critics saying? The Telegraph Rating: Jasper Rees praises the dark-comedy as a 'rambunctious reboot of the Greek myths.

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.
T hey 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.'
