The Netflix show Kaos just rewired my brain chemistry.
First of all, fuck Zeus. That fucker killed a kitten, a baby, and who-the-fuck-knows who else. I will never forgive him.
Secondly, Dionysus as an immature fratboy is everything that I never knew I needed.
Hera is awful and deserves every bit of shit that Zeus gives her, but we already knew that.
Persephone was ✨ SLAYING ✨ from start to finish, her and Hades have my whole heart.
Prometheus genuinely had me snorting here and there, I loved him.
Fuck all the way off, Poseidon.
The fact that the entire rest of the pantheon fails to appear at all purely because they make a hobby out of avoiding Zeus at any cost might be the funniest fucking thing ever to come out of an interpretation of Greek mythology.
Riddy (Eurydice) and Orpheus are both such great characters, alone and as a complicated relationship thing. They're super well rounded and developed, both mean well, but they're so humanly written. They don't know what to do with each other, neither wants to hurt the other, but their decisions are flawed and their love has turned into such a messy situationship. It's beautiful when they finally communicate and accept the circumstances for what they are.
A healthy breakup, in my Greek mythology media?
It's more likely than you think!
Cassandra, my scruffier beloved!!!! 🤩
Ari, you own my heart now.
All such well written characters, now where's my Season 2 announcement?
