Netflix's all-new dark comedy-drama Kaos arrived on streaming on August 29, 2024, and took only a few hours to become one of the most highly discussed series on the internet.
Unlike a typical comedy series, Jeff Goldblum's Kaos includes a star-studded cast, an intriguing and unique plot involving the morally ambiguous God Zeus, and above all, a top-notch soundtrack.
Kaos is doing incredibly well on Netflix, thanks to the engaging songs by various artists in each episode, making the series as compelling as possible. The following is a list that explores details of every tune used in the latest series.
Exploring every song played in Netflix's Kaos episode-wise
Kaos is all about a paranoid god and engagingly exploits the idea. It revolves around Goldblum's Zeus, the Greek God who's on edge after witnessing a wrinkle on his forehead, dreading that his end is near.
Meanwhile, it also follows the three mortals created by Zeus, who are interlinked through a prophecy and later discover their connections and encounter the corrupt God. While the plot is undeniably engaging and fun to watch, the unavoidable soundtrack and enchanting songs in every episode make the show even more memorable.
To connect the world of Gods with the world of mortals, Kaos features a perfect blend of modern and classical styles. For instance, when the leading and ethically gray God Zeus appears, classical tunes complement the visuals.
However, when it comes to humans, the tunes change to rock with much higher volumes. The original score for Kaos comes straight from Isabella Summers, best recognized for being one of the founding members of the band Florence And The Machine.
