This series is exceptional. The cast is stellar, the interpretations of the characters perfection, the sets remarkable and the writing a perfect storm of humor, sarcasm and tragedy that is thick with allegory. It is also a refreshingly new and unique storyline depicting a world where Greek Gods exist and rule in modern times. It is, sadly, a sometimes humorous and just as often frightening metaphor to the world we live in today. I am shocked that there are both viewers and reviewers who missed the entire point of this thought-provoking show (though, reassuringly, not many). I was very much looking forward to seeing the metaphorical tyrants uprooted, but it seems we will never have that satisfaction. I must admit, I'm beginning to tire of the Netflix roller coaster where the highest-quality shows are cancelled just as I become invested in them. The value Netflix invariably places on profits and ratings above quality is an ironic example of exactly the sort of world that Kaos depicts.
