Pick of the week
Kaos
Charlie Covell clearly has a thing about the apocalypse. The scriptwriter of The End of the F***ing World has now turned their attention to Greek mythology in a dark comedy that explores prophecies connected to the end times. Jeff Goldblum is Zeus, a cruel and all-powerful but still oddly insecure god. It turns out he has good reason to be suspicious: a plot to take him down is under way, involving other gods and three intrepid humans. Kaos wears its concept lightly – no prior knowledge of the classical source material is necessary and it’s irreverent enough to work as a snarky family drama. The stellar supporting cast includes Billie Piper and Suzy Eddie Izzard.
Netflix, from Thursday 29 August
