Well-written, entertaining and wonderfully readable by the modern scheming of the powerful prima donnas who want to be in charge. The acting is great, especially Jeff Goldblum shines as the absolute boss who finds out what others think of him and decides to put them back in line. The old Greek myths are raped with cynicism and self-reflection, making it a cool watch. The main criticism lies in the incompleteness of the work. Much remains to be explained, and though KAOS appears closed, this is not the case. ()
This one felt a bit too “now” for me—too focused on today’s youth and their issues, with dialogue that sometimes felt like it was written for a toddler. That said, Jeff Goldblum clearly had a blast playing Zeus, and I have to admit, the soundtrack is a real highlight. The music choices were spot on. But even with a great score, the show falters by taking liberties with history, blending and bending it in ways that feel forced. It tries really hard to be funny, but that's where it misses the mark the most. ()
