The significance of Zeus' watch in KAOS gives it a whole new meaning

Jeff Goldblum starring as King of the Gods Zeus in Netflix's new show, KAOS.

The world has been hooked on KAOS since its Netflix release last week. Giving Ancient Greek mythology a modern day spin, the show focuses on the power dynamics of the Gods and mortals and has been dubbed the Succession of the sky. Whether it's Hera sauntering around in silks and building an army of mistress bees or Dionysus sneaking grieving lovers into the underworld, the cleverly constructed plot - made up of intricately linked and familiar stories - has already drawn in millions of viewers.

The series is littered with easter eggs, which show creator Charlie Covell has subtly weaved in via cereal names, addresses and cigarette brands. But there's one key plot detail that holds a lot more significance than you might have originally thought.
