why is it how I learn that they cancelled Kaos 🥲

so youre telling me. theres an adaptation of orpheus and eurydice. where eurydice was falling out of love with orpheus before her death but didnt know how to tell him, and when he walks into the underworld to get her back, shes forced to confess that she planned to leave him?? and shes the one to ask him to look back, but he doesn’t want to, because he knows she isn’t coming with him??? youre telling me that when he finally looks back, he does lose her, but only because he’s letting go??? you’re telling me its about grief? about drifting apart?? about moving on??? about love, and how its messy, and how sometimes it just doesn’t work out even if you go to hell and back for it, because we’re human and thats our tragedy????

you’re telling me netflix CANCELLED it?

Why you should watch KAOS (2024) on Neftlix:

- Jeff Goldblum as Zeus

- A disabled actor plays a disabled character (Mat Fraser)

- A trans actor plays a trans character (I won't say which one since it's kind of a spoiler)

- Set in modern times, uses characters from old myths but isn't a simple retelling; it's a whole new story

- All your favs are there (Prometheus, Daedalus, Persephone, Dionysus, Cassandra, Medusa, Charon, Ariadne, the Fates, the Furies, just to name a few)

- Speaking of Persephone, she and Hades are actually in love (the version of the myth which I know much of you love)

- Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss Hera (as in, she literally does all those things)

- The gods' actors' ages actually make sense, they didn't cast solely young people or make young people look older; you've got Zeus (72), Hera (63), Hades (61), Persephone (56), Poseidon (56), Dionysus (27), you get the idea

- Killer soundtrack

- Actual realistic queer characters/representation in a natural, unforced way

- Enjoyable story and comedic but also has depth (I binge-watched it in a day)

- Not a huge commitment (8 episodes of about 50 minutes each)

- Have you ever thought "What would the Ancient Greek gods be doing in modern times?" This show answers that question!

- It wasn't renewed for a second season due to viewership, so if the views explode, maybe they'll renew it and I can find out what happens next (I know it's not likely, but I can dream; besides, if just one person watches and enjoys it, then this post will have been worth it)

there‘s something so sinisterly funny about hera‘s constant joking about how everything persephone does being dictated by hades to the point where all she‘s allowed to wear is black, but when hera and persephone actually meet to discuss something important, it‘s hera who has summoned persephone on behalf of zeus and while persephone wears a bright, fun pink and has a lunchbox matching her dress and glasses, hera is in all black… something about hera making persephone into the prisoner she is herself… something about this feeling of entrapment being so violent she has to impose it on every woman she knows to create a sense of painful subservience to your husband being the norm because not doing that means admitting there‘s something horribly wrong with the goddess of marriage‘s marriage…

reason's to watch kaos:

queers everywhere

the furies are butches that ride motorcycles

the fates are genderqueering it up in a sexy little dive bar in the desert

eurydice and orpheus tale but eurydice is sick of orpheus and about to break up with him before she's sent to the underworld. except she can't pass over because orpheus also took her gold coin to keep her in place so he can rescue her. cue eurydice growing more bitter about him.

disabled daedalus

trans amazonian stories

dionysus is there getting rawed by cute boys in bars

prometheus and charon are boy toys together

billie piper as cassandra

zeus and poseidon torture human beings for fun. it's a pass time of theirs.

hades is a sleepy old man who can barely keep his head up and pesephone is a hot babe secretly in charge of the underworld. she's hades backbone.

zeus has a house full of pretty boys in tiny shorts that he kills for sport and they never complain :)

poseidon's huge bulge on display at all times

hera is as much a prisoner to zeus as zeus is a prisoner to her and they keep esch other like prison wardens

this is the greatest modern greek myth adaptation i've ever seen and yes i'm including percy jackson

[kaos-incarnate]

Not the Furies being 3 dykes on bikes that torment rapists and abusers till they die

[miss-crazy-rose]

Just finished Kaos

[hgedits]

Kaos (2024 - )

A long time ago, and I mean a long, long time ago, I was a free man. Free to experience life and love like anyone else. And my God, did I love someone.

but why isn't tumblr eating up Kaos netflix?

it's got everything! canon old man yaoi, a lot of trans representation, including a trans man as one of the main characters who is complex, desirable, and gets the girl at the end (uh, sorta, but, no spoilers), a succession-level of drama with a fucked up family that needs to be toppled, greek mythology, amazons, the three Fates as trans entities, the Furies as biker lesbians, a WHOLE spectrum of various sexualities and genders as well as great poc representation, a whole spectrum of disabilities, whimsical creatures and frightening, power hungry women... what are ya waiting for?

Tumblr, you okay son? You've barely touched your mythology show where prometheus wears modesty 70s red short shorts.

[metalandmagi]

Hera and Zeus are like if Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss, was married to Mansplain, Manipulate, Manwhore.

jokes aside, the dialogue

“orpheus… can you look at me?”

and he doesn’t turn

“please, look at me.”

“i dont want to.”

“why?”

“because you’re not coming with me, are you?”

might be a refreshing take on an old tale, might be a love letter to mythology, yeah congrats kaos writers for making something truly interesting
