‘kaos’ review: jeff goldblum’s quirky zeus leads netflix’s shallow greek mythology for grown-ups.
Charlie Covell ('The End of the F***ing World') brings together bickering gods, striving humans and the Orpheus and Eurydice journey into the Underworld for an eight-episode dark comedy.
By Daniel Fienberg
Chief Television Critic
Playing like Percy Jackson for grownups, with a dash of American Gods and Hadestown thrown in for good measure, Netflix ‘s dark comedy Kaos is packed with big ideas that creator Charlie Covell struggles to explore in any depth.
Joey chestnut wins netflix's live labor day hot dog eating competition, ai, netflix in focus for venice head alberto barbera, tarak ben ammar in thr roma roundtable.
Jeff Goldblum commands attention throughout as Zeus, the all-powerful yet fiercely neurotic king of the gods and overall facilitator of a humanity that still worships them. Ruling from Mt. Olympus with his sister-wife Hera ( Janet McTeer ), Zeus obsesses over the sincerity of human sacrifices and a mysterious prophecy that he worries might spell his downfall. In his pettiness and insecurity, he’s ostracized his brothers Poseidon ( Cliff Curtis ) and Hades ( David Thewlis ) to the sea and the Underworld, respectively, and sentenced his former best bud Prometheus ( Stephen Dillane ) to permanent torture. He’s such a pain that the only one of his children who even answers his phone calls is Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan), a bored club kid who yearns for more respect from dear old dad.
Down on earth, people are going about their business, all certain that they’re just pawns to the gods, the Fates and the Furies. But might they be on the verge of potentially upending the deities and establishing supremacy for free will? Kinda! Maybe! The only thing that’s for sure is that whatever happens, Cassandra (Billie Piper) already tried to warn everybody.
Especially in the first couple of episodes, it’s plain to see what attracted Covell to the idea of a modern society in which the Greek gods seem to be the only religious game in town.
For an hour or two, the world-building is dynamic. Set in Greece (mostly Crete) but filmed somewhere in Spain, everything about Kaos feels just a little askew. I enjoyed trying to figure out the cultural and spiritual ripples that would lead to, for example, the array of cereals in this society, or its clothing and architecture. The series constantly name-checks different beloved figures from the pages of Edith Hamilton or D’Aulaires. The effect is similar, with a more satirical tone, to the way Mike Flanagan blended family melodrama and Poe references in The Fall of the House of Usher .
If you’re a myth-head, you’ll have some fun figuring out when Covell sticks to canon, when they make playful correctives for contemporary audiences and when they just say, “Screw it, let’s stick with the name but throw everything else aside.” The series wants to reflect on myth-making, the tales we rely upon to give our lives purpose and issues of authorship to those stories. I wish it was better at offering that commentary, and that it had its own deeper meaning.
It’s the exception rather than the rule when a good idea is followed up on any level. So the provocative detail of a trans man brought up by the Amazons getting a second mention almost counts as substantive, even if I suspect it should be the premise of a TV series all its own and not a footnote in this one. More frequently, the best concepts get ignored or undermined by hasty retreats. Like how the black-and-white bureaucratic vision of the Underworld goes from monochromatic to monotonous, building to a weakly conceived “twist” that somehow has less heft than the similar twist in … Sausage Party .
Ideally, stories like this open up their worlds as they go along. But the world of Kaos becomes smaller and less rich — much too adult for young viewers, not really mature enough for grownups.
Since the plot runs out of fun, the series’ amusement flows from the performances by the exceptional cast.
Every Goldblum line-reading is a small treasure. Especially in the current political climate, there’s something very funny about an interpretation in which a lifetime of omnipotence and insularity have left Zeus as a tyrant who’s at least as weird as he is evil. None of the supporting players feel, necessarily, like they’re in the same show or even in the same five or six shows — Goldblum’s doing Wes Anderson, McTeer’s doing Shakespeare and Curtis is working on his tan on a yacht.
Netflix first ordered Kaos back in 2018 — even accepting a global pandemic and multiple industry strikes, that’s a LONG time ago — and I’ve been looking forward to it ever since, in part because Covell’s previous credit at the streamer was the hilariously bleak roadtrip romance The End of the F***ing World . Kaos offers only a dash of comparably crackling dialogue and even less of a cohesive worldview, nihilistic or otherwise.
You can still sense what I assume was an enticing outline that displayed Covell’s enthusiasm and made Netflix want to come on board. But you can also sense the places somebody hoped to come back and replace the generic gap-filling with high drama or comedy, and instead just left the filler.

Michigan Sen. Mallory McMorrow brought out a copy of Project 2025, a blueprint created by the Heritage Foundation for a second Trump term. She then slammed it on the podium.

▶ Follow the AP’s live coverage and analysis from the 2024 Democratic National Convention.
CHICAGO (AP) — Vice President Kamala Harris and Democratic allies have turned Project 2025 into one of their most consistent tools against the campaign of former President Donald Trump. Now, they’ve taken the fight over the conservative-written handbook to a bigger new scale.
Mallory McMorrow, a 37-year-old state senator from Michigan, brought out a giant copy of the roughly 900-page “Mandate for Leadership” on Monday night, the first evening of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. She slammed it on the lectern, then made an expression to signal how heavy it was as she opened to start reading.
“They went ahead and wrote down all the extreme things that Donald Trump wants to do in the next four years,” McMorrow said from the stage. “We read it.”
Trump says Project 2025 is not related to his campaign and has denied knowing about the Heritage Foundation, which is overseeing its own transition effort with the help of dozens of his allies and former aides. Democrats have for months tried to pin Trump to Project 2025’s most sweeping proposals.
DNC officials plan to talk about Project 2025 every night of the convention. McMorrow said in an interview Tuesday that there is a “keeper of the book” and that the book would be handed off to a new speaker each night.
On Tuesday night, Pennsylvania state Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta trotted the book back out. “Usually Republicans want to ban books, but now they are trying to shove this down our throats,” he said.
Project 2025 was created by the Heritage Foundation as a handbook for the next Republican administration , and has caught a lot of attention because it was drafted by longtime allies and former officials of the Trump administration.
The document outlines a dramatic expansion of presidential power and a plan to fire as many as 50,000 government workers to replace them with presidential loyalists. It calls for the U.S. Education Department to be shuttered, and the Homeland Security Department dismantled, with its various parts absorbed by other federal offices.
The plan says the Department of Health and Human Services should “pursue a robust agenda” to protect “the fundamental right to life.”
Democrats have falsely claimed that it also proposes to “gut Social Security.” The document contains no proposals to cut Social Security, even though the Heritage Foundation that oversaw it has long pushed for changes to the entitlement.
The idea to create an oversized version of Project 2025 first came about several weeks ago when Harris’ campaign manager, Julie Chavez Rodriguez, contacted McMorrow about speaking about Project 2025 at the convention, McMorrow said.
McMorrow said that she had never spoken to an arena full of people before and wanted to create a moment that would “play well both at home and in the arena.”
In an interview, she joked the book weighs as much as her 3-year-old daughter and is filled entirely with the actual text from Project 2025.
“Dropping the book on the podium played a big part in what we wanted to do,” said McMorrow.
On Wednesday, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis is expected to haul the book out, followed by U.S. Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado, according to a person familiar with the plans who disclosed them on condition of anonymity.
What to know about the 2024 Election
Some of the people involved in Project 2025 are former senior administration officials with deep GOP ties. The project’s former director , Paul Dans, served as chief of staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management under Trump.
Trump’s former White House budget chief, Russell Vought, was a key architect of the plan and was also appointed to the Republican National Committee’s platform writing committee.
John McEntee, a former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office in the Trump administration, was a senior adviser. McEntee told the conservative news site The Daily Wire earlier this year that Project 2025’s team would integrate a lot of its work with the campaign after the summer when Trump would announce his transition team.
Trump has tried to distance himself from Project 2025 and has denied knowing who is behind the plan.
Tom Homan , who oversaw U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement during the Trump administration, has cautioned against blowing the project out of proportion, arguing Washington think tanks prepare plans for new administrations that aren’t always followed.
Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida, a key Trump supporter, criticized how much Democrats are talking about the plan.
“It’s not a problem for the president because the president is already on the record saying that he has nothing to do with it,” Donalds said. “Their focus on Project 2025 is insanity.”
The decision to make Ohio Sen. JD Vance his running mate was taken by some as one more connection to Project 2025. Heritage’s President Kevin Roberts has said he’s good friends with Vance and that the Heritage Foundation had been privately rooting for him to be the VP pick.
Vance penned the foreword to Roberts’ own new book, which was set to be out in September but has now been postponed as Project 2025 hits turmoil . Roberts is holding off the release of his potentially fiery new book until after the November presidential election .
Gomez Licon reported from Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Associated Press writer Meg Kinnard and Brian Slodysko in Chicago contributed to this report.

Sauron has returned. . . watch The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 on Prime Video.
For the first time ever, a special enhanced edition of the enchanting prelude to The Lord of the Rings , illustrated throughout with over 50 sketches, drawings, paintings and maps by J.R.R. Tolkien himself and with the complete text printed in two colors.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who enjoys a comfortable, unambitious life, rarely travelling further than the pantry of his hobbit-hole in Bag End. But his contentment is disturbed when the wizard, Gandalf, and a company of thirteen dwarves arrive on his doorstep one day to whisk him away on an unexpected journey ‘there and back again.’ They have a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent, a large and very dangerous dragon . . .
Written for J.R.R. Tolkien’s own children, The Hobbit was published on 21 September 1937. With a beautiful cover design, a handful of black & white drawings and two maps by the author himself, the book became an instant success and was reprinted shortly afterwards with five color plates.
Tolkien’s own selection of finished paintings and drawings have become inseparable from his text, adorning editions of The Hobbit for more than 85 years. But the published art has afforded only a glimpse of Tolkien’s creative process, and many additional sketches, colored drawings and maps – although exhibited and published elsewhere – have never appeared within the pages of The Hobbit .
In this unique enhanced edition of Tolkien’s enchanting classic tale, the full panoply of his art is reproduced for the first time, presenting more than 50 illustrations to accompany Bilbo Baggins on his adventure ‘there and back again.’

the hobbit After being reminded countless times how good of an author Tolkien is and reading his books are somewhat of a compulsion if you dare call yourself a lover of English fantasy literature, I finally decided to dive into the world of middle earth, and picked up The Hobbit.
In my Humblest opinion Tolkien's The Hobbit is more than just a light hearted story made for his children, its extends out towards a wider audience aswell with is ancient and mythical feel that feels Profound. From memorable characters like Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf and many more they all serve to well to the plot and is why the story is heavily ...
By Dr Oliver Tearle (Loughborough University) The Hobbit is one of the biggest-selling books of all time. An estimated 100 million people have read Tolkien's classic children's novel since it was first published in 1937. The story of its origins, and Tolkien's supposed invention of the word 'hobbit' (of which more below), are well-known.
The prologue to a great trilogy, simple and charming, The Hobbit is a great book by itself. Finally, this review is of a re-visit to The Hobbit, after a hiatus of perhaps 30 years. I rarely will re-read a book, there are just so many great books and so little time - but The Hobbit is one of those special works that can be savored and enjoyed ...

Language-. - minimal. -perhaps the occasional mild swear word but Tolkien's insults are much more creative than that! Violence-. - as much as could be expected for a fantasy book. -hand-to-hand combat but nothing overly gory. Romance-none. Spiritual-. - Gandalf is a wizard but the story does not rely heavily on magic.

With precious few weeks left before the year is out, and having set myself the task of reading at least 10 of the BBC Big Reads before 2014 draws to a close, after finishing Emma I soon began The Hobbit.

When you begin reading The Hobbit, don't expect the flashy drawn out fight scenes and plot twists you'll see in modern day fantasy. Written in 1937, the style of writing is vastly different but has aged well over the years. Behind the Pages reviews The Hobbit.
The Hobbitby J.R.R. TolkienMy rating: 5 / 5Genre: Classic fantasy. This is not going to be a structured review with a recommendation or warning to stay away. It's really just going to be my musings on my first foray into written Tolkien. First, let me give a reference point-as I said, I've never read any Tolkien before this.
First off, the story is unbearably cliche. Yes, it was one of the earlier high fantasy novels and thus created many of the standards for following novels, but all of the creatures (except maybe the titular hobbits) can be found in most other fantasy works, leading to a feeling of unoriginality. Second, the pacing is weird and the plot structure ...

This book is sure to beyond satisfy any Tolkien fan looking for an expansion on the story of Middle Earth. The story revolves around Bilbo Baggins, a homely hobbit of The Shire who just wants to live a calm and peaceful life.

I enjoyed the Silmarillion, have read it several times, more of a history book than an adventure. I love the context it provides for some of references made in both the Hobbit and LotR. They recently released an audio version read by Andy Serkis as a companion to his readings of the Hobbit and the LotR, looking forward to listening to it.
Although this book is a must-read for middle-school-age kids, about a hobbit and some dwarves' journey to get gold back from an evil dragon, it's probably more violent than you remember, and there are tobacco references and some drinking. Violence 7/10: Fantasy violence gets more and more frequent and intense the further you get into the book.
