3 epic mythology-themed shows to watch on Netflix after Kaos

If you cast Jeff Goldblum as Zeus in your dark comedy on Netflix , you’re all but guaranteed to find your way onto the top 10 charts. That’s precisely what happened to Kaos , which made its Netflix debut on August 29 to mostly positive reviews.

Kaos is thoroughly entertaining, but it’s only eight episodes, which might leave you wanting for more mythological drama. Thankfully, Netflix has plenty of stellar Greek and Norse mythology shows to watch, and we’ve rounded up three of our favorites below.

Blood of Zeus

As my colleague Andy told you back in May , both seasons of the adult animated series Blood of Zeus have perfect 100% scores on Rotten Tomatoes. The show follows Heron, the demigod son of Zeus, who has been tasked with saving the Earth and Olympus. On his adventure, he battles gods, giants, demons, titans, and more.

The series is produced by Powerhouse Animation Studios, the same studio behind Castlevania and Skull Island . A third and final season is now in the works.

Ragnarok

If you prefer real actors in your mythology, the Norwegian series Ragnarok is a truly underrated gem on Netflix worth checking out. Another show championed by Andy Meek , Ragnarok is set in modern-day Norway and puts a clever spin on Norse mythology by reincarnating Thor and Loki as teen brothers. Meanwhile, the giants they fight in the tales of yore are now rich families whose factories are polluting their homeland.

Netflix is getting 20+ new titles next week, but there are only 2 that ought to interest you
