Kaos Review: A Refreshing Take on Mythology

Netflix's Kaos is one of those shows that grabs your attention from the start and keeps you hooked until the very end.

What makes it stand out is how different it feels compared to other series. The show dives into mythology, but not the kind we're used to seeing — no angels, demons, or anything from the usual Christian narratives. Instead, Kaos taps into ancient Greek myths, giving it a fresh and unique vibe we rarely see on TV.

That's what I loved the most: it felt like something new and exciting in a world of often predictable shows.

You’ll not be waiting for it

The best part is that the story is unpredictable. It is full of twists and turns, and the ending leaves you on the edge of your seat.

It wraps up well but still keeps you wondering what's next. It does a great job of teasing a possible second season, which makes me really excited for more. Although it's unclear if there will be a next season just yet, the ending definitely opens the door for one, and I'll be waiting for it!

Refreshing

Overall, Kaos is a well-made show that stands out for its creativity. It's refreshing, with a mix of dark humor, drama, and a modern take on ancient myths. This show is worth checking out if you're looking for something different to watch. This is especially true, if you're into mythology but want a break from the usual themes.

Emily in Paris 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Unrealistic

The third season of Emily in Paris got a lot of hate and love among the viewers. People can’t decide if it was the best season or the worst of all. And I understand why. We start the season with Emily’s life in perfect chaos, and she doesn’t seem to know what she wants. She never does… Is this good for the plot? Maybe. Is this annoying? Sometimes. So… why can’t we stop watching it? Are you feeling frustrated? Me too. She doesn’t know what she wants. She can’t make a decision, not in her love life, not in her job… And it is not because she wants it all. She is not mature enough to say no and own her decision and its consequences. Emily comes across as a spoiled little girl. The problem is that she is the main character, yet, Mindy starts to feel way more interesting than her. Also, any other character on the show is funnier than Emily, namely her co-workers, who apparently are very bad at their jobs and need her to save them with every single client… How did they keep the company...

Gender, Power, and Cigarettes: Why 'Mad Men' Still Resonates

Mad Men is a masterpiece of television that blends sharp storytelling with striking period detail, offering a reflective glimpse into the 1960s. The series follows Don Draper and the high-stakes world of Madison Avenue advertising, all while painting a vivid picture of the era's societal norms, especially the rampant sexism and rigid gender roles. It's both mesmerizing and infuriating, particularly in its honest depiction of how women were treated. Strong Emotions The show’s brilliance lies in its ability to evoke strong emotions—its subtlety, exceptional writing, and rich characters draw you into a world that feels both foreign and disturbingly recent. The meticulously crafted period aesthetics are complemented by historical undercurrents, from civil rights to cultural shifts, which remain integral yet never overshadow the deeply personal dramas of the characters. Wait For the Impact Mad Men doesn’t rely on flashy plot twists; instead, it uses nuanced storyte...

The Lying Life of Adults - Review

The Lying Life of Adults shows us, once more, that the teenage years and growing up can be painful. Giovanna is the main character of this story, and she is feeling all the fast changes adolescence demands in a deeply divided town. Before this situation, her body and her opinions and desires are changing fast. Perhaps, too fast. Parents aren’t perfect. It is usually in those teenage years that we realize our parents aren’t perfect. They are humans with all the flaws that that implies. Giovanna is no different. Her parents are not as she thought they were, and her perfect family isn’t perfect at all. Those adults, those references that she admires, hide things, lie, and do things that she considers wrong. They are like everybody else. They are not heroes. When we realize that our parents are not the superheroes we believed they were when we were very young children, it can hurt. Why is it so important? Because when we realize they also can fail, with the destruc...
