<aside> 📒 Notes on the “KAOS” series by Netflix

</aside>

• Very stylish. Having Zeus spotting polo amid an island resort is peak “strange attractor”
  • reminds me of “Maniac” a lot
• Hell as a bleak dystopian bureaucracy is fantastic
  • always love me some human soul to demon/angel transition. Here, some souls are pulled from the cycle or rebirth and forced to perform services
    • In the “Empire of Angels” by Werber, you ascend when you accumulate enough karma
  • they could eat, but everything barely tastes, kisses feel like nothing
  • and the betrayal of gods not granting an afterlife, but Hades just turning them into statues – that’s something great as a plot twist
• Cool drama about political oppression, existential crisis, and misery
  • exploitation, power
  • “That’s what Zeus relies on: distraction”
  • The ruthless, unyielding power that vaporizes mortals upon touch like they are nothing
