Of course it’s none other than Billie Piper who plays the Greek god Cassandra in the new Netflix series which is a modern take on Greek mythology
Of course it’s none other than Billie Piper who plays the Greek god Cassandra in the new Netflix series which is a modern take on Greek mythology.
Billie shared a slew of selfies to her Instagram writing: ‘The Gods are f****** mental. Come and watch our show, out now on @netflixuk’.
The series which also stars Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer and Suzy Eddie Izzard has been hailed ‘an absolute triumph’ by critics after the ‘bonkers’ dark-comedy dropped on Netflix on Thursday.
The eight-episode series from The End of the F***ing World creator Charlie Covell has left experts impressed with it’s modern take on Greek mythology.
Starring Hollywood star Jeff as a power-hungry, track-suit wearing Zeus, his ‘effortless’ portrayal and ‘zany charisma’ has left viewers wanting more.
The show follows his character, who wakes up one day and sees a wrinkle on his forehead and believes it to be a sign that an ancient prophecy foretelling his downfall is coming to fruition.
iNews questions why no one has cast Jeff Goldblum as the ‘king of the gods before now’ because he slip’s into the character ‘so well.’
Awarding the series four stars, TV Editor Emily Baker notes: ‘An explosion of colour and detail that at times could be mistaken for a Versace advert, this is a big-budget, no-idea-too-wild romp through ancient Greek mythology – no classics degree necessary.’

Billie was clearly having fun as she got into character

In The Standard’s four star review, Vicky Jessop writes ‘this is surely the most bonkers show it’s put out in a long time.’
She adds: ‘The show is an explosion of creativity that practically seeps off the screen, punctuated by sharp bursts of wit and pathos.
‘The story is mad, the energy frenetic and the performances off-the-wall. But it all just about hangs together, and the end result is a glorious burst of firecracker energy. Just the thing to stave off those autumn blues.’
The Hollywood Reporter praised the ‘impressive cast and cheeky tone’ but said it shows ‘little investment in substantive follow-through.’
They write: ‘The series becomes an almost nonstop stream of neat bits and pieces, fused by an over-aggressive soundtrack and intrusive Promethean voiceover instead of by an actual narrative.

‘Every Goldblum line-reading is a small treasure. Especially in the current political climate.’
The Telegraph applauds the dark-comedy as a ‘rambunctious reboot of the Greek myths.’
Jasper Rees notes: ‘It all looks splendidly expensive, even without many special effects. The musical palette travels all over the shop too from Mozart to Bowie via Enya.
‘When Zeus takes the form of Jeff Goldblum we are clearly in the realm of neurotic comedy.’
In The Guardian’s five star review the series is praised as being ‘witty, rigorous, hugely intelligent, funny and brutal.’
Lucy Mangan writes: ‘Hilarious, profound and moving: this fantasy series is an utter triumph. Its tale of Zeus and co living in the modern day is intelligent, twisty and action-packed.
‘It’s an absolute triumph – thank Covell and the gods.’
