Fans can't get enough of ‘unbelievable’ new Netflix show that has people bingeing all eight episodes in one go

Jeff Goldblum and Billie Piper feature in the new series

That Friday night struggle when your favourite takeaway is on the way, you've cracked open your favourite drink, and then can't decide what to watch.

Now we have more streaming options than ever, it's somehow becoming even more difficult to choose something to put on.

But for those who haven't found that perfect show to bingewatch, it seems Jeff Goldblum might have you sorted.

The Charlie Covell-led series is a sort of comedic reimagining of Greek mythology and is currently streaming on Netflix.

Goldblum stars as Zeus who has become paranoid about losing his throne, while Hera (Janet McTeer), his wife, plots behind his back.

Meanwhile, Poseidon (Hugh Grant), jaded and cynical, despises humanity, while Hades (David Thewlis) navigates the underworld. Billie Piper also stars as Eris, the goddess of discord.

So, if that sounds like your cup of tea, check out the trailer for Kaos below:

Viewers have mainly been raving about the eight-part series, which has received a solid 70 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Calling for a second season, one person said: "FANTASTIC. Entertaining, thought provoking, compelling, great acting, and a great twist on the classic stories that make up our human history.

"Kaos is beyond refreshing and a much needed breath of fresh air from so many of the other series being released.

"There will absolutely be a season II, and rightly so. Do yourself a favor… WATCH IT!"

A second penned: "This show is unbelievable.

"Please watch Kaos to make sure it doesn't get canceled by Netflix.

"You will never view Jeff Goldblum the same way, I promise you that."

However, not everyone has been so complimentary, with a third viewer writing: "Very dull. I am sure the writers think the show is smart and funny but it is tedious and I am shocked this actually got made."

Another also added: "But for Jeff Goldblum, this would have been a Greek tragedy of epic proportions.

"Instead, it's just a pretentious bore for much of the season. It tried to be elevated, but except for a smattering of funny/interesting scenes scattered throughout, it dragged on and on too long.

"Zeus should have destroyed this while he had the chance."

While someone else gave a more diplomatic view: "Great concept. Sets are beautiful. Some really great scenes.

"Some are a little wooden. There are a lot of storylines and characters going on and it would have been nice for some of them to be fleshed out a little more but I imagine that’s budgeting issues. Worth a watch."

If you want to give the first episode a go, Kaos is available to watch on Netflix now.
