Another week, another Netflix show which was canceled after one season. This one a bit more recent: Kaos. I only learned what this show was about when someone on DW posted about it. Before that, the marketing (for me) only existed in the form of Jeff Goldblum standing at a grill in a tracksuit.
It is a modern retelling of Greek mythology and I thought it was fantastic. It has diversity, drama, comedy, and seriously great world-building. A lot of it seems current (like Poseidon's yacht or Riddy's house), but there is also some 80s (or rather 70s-90s?) tech, like the phones and cars. Does religious belief reflect in technological advancement like that? I found that aspect super interesting.
Ironically, from the cast only the biggest name, Jeff Goldblum, didn't always work for me. He did Jeff Goldblum things. That was often just the Grandmaster in a velvet tracksuit. Maybe that was the intent behind casting him though.
The season/show ends on a cliffhanger. I would have loved to see more of this. The things set into motion would have been so cool to see played out screen. Still, I think it is worth watching for the cool world-building alone.

I watched the first three episodes of Paradise and it's really good so far, especially Sterling K. Brown. I can't wait to see where this is going.
