If that sounds like your kind of thing then you should watch Kaos because it delivers.
This isn't the first bit of big TV to deal with old mythology and the modern world. Ian MacShane played 'Mr Wednesday' (spoiler, he's Odin) in American Gods. But that was a series/novel about old beliefs struggling to cling on in the face of modern society. That's not Kaos, Kaos is set in a world where, it is implied, everyone worships the greek gods, because they're real.
And just like the gods as portrayed in Homer, they are jealous and passionate about each other, and largely unconcerned about the affairs of mortals, unless their own interests are involved. Indeed, as the story begins it is implied that the gods haven't been taking much interest in mortal doings, a state of affairs that changes when some Trojan dissidents deface a monument.
As the series unfolds we get reworked versions of a few key myths. King Minos, Theseus, Ariadne, Daedalus and the Minotaur all appear. So do Hades, Perspephone, Orpheus, Eurydice and Medusa. We briefly meet some Trojans, and poor Cassandra. The whole thing is narrated by Prometheus, who sees all from his vantage point chained to a mountain.
Except for the scenes in the underworld, which are filmed in black and white, Kaos is a visual feast, reminiscent of Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. The Greek deities dress and live like modern day meditteranean millionaires; Zeus mooches around Olympus in a tracksuit, with his wishes attended to by a cadre of attendants in tennis uniforms, while an open shirted, medallion wearing Poseidon lives it up on a luxury yacht and Dionysius spends his life in night clubs.
The story focuses around a single prophecy, which impacts three mortals - Eurydice, Ariadne and Caenaeus, all of whom have their own narratives. Indeed if there's a criticism to be made it's that it takes a while for these strands to come together, but by episode four or so things are pretty well joined up, and the plot rattles along to a conclusion that more or less manages the difficult task of resolving enough to be satisfying, while also setting up season 2.
Not a criticism, but perhaps a source of some slight disappointment is the rather limited cast of gods. We get Zeus, Hera, Poseidon and Hades, plus the demi-god Dionysius. We don't get Athena, or Aries, or Nike, or Haphaestus or Artemis or ... Basically, there's a lot of Greek myth and only a small portion of it makes it into Kaos.
Still, that means there's plenty to look forward to in Season 2.
