Now we have more streaming options than ever, it's somehow becoming even more difficult to choose something to put on.
But for those who haven't found that perfect show to bingewatch, it seems Jeff Goldblum might have you sorted.
We see a new version of Jeff Goldblum (Netflix)
The Charlie Covell-led series is a sort of comedic reimagining of Greek mythology and is currently streaming on Netflix.
Goldblum stars as Zeus who has become paranoid about losing his throne, while Hera (Janet McTeer), his wife, plots behind his back.
Meanwhile, Poseidon (Hugh Grant), jaded and cynical, despises humanity, while Hades (David Thewlis) navigates the underworld. Billie Piper also stars as Eris, the goddess of discord.
So, if that sounds like your cup of tea, check out the trailer for Kaos below:
Viewers have mainly been raving about the eight-part series, which has received a solid 70 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Calling for a second season, one person said: "FANTASTIC. Entertaining, thought provoking, compelling, great acting, and a great twist on the classic stories that make up our human history.
"Kaos is beyond refreshing and a much needed breath of fresh air from so many of the other series being released.
"There will absolutely be a season II, and rightly so. Do yourself a favor… WATCH IT!"
The show has a 70 percent RT rating (Netflix)
A second penned: "This show is unbelievable.
"Please watch Kaos to make sure it doesn't get canceled by Netflix.
"You will never view Jeff Goldblum the same way, I promise you that."
However, not everyone has been so complimentary, with a third viewer writing: "Very dull. I am sure the writers think the show is smart and funny but it is tedious and I am shocked this actually got made."
Another also added: "But for Jeff Goldblum, this would have been a Greek tragedy of epic proportions.

"Instead, it's just a pretentious bore for much of the season. It tried to be elevated, but except for a smattering of funny/interesting scenes scattered throughout, it dragged on and on too long.
"Zeus should have destroyed this while he had the chance."
While someone else gave a more diplomatic view: "Great concept. Sets are beautiful. Some really great scenes.
"Some are a little wooden. There are a lot of storylines and characters going on and it would have been nice for some of them to be fleshed out a little more but I imagine that’s budgeting issues. Worth a watch."
If you want to give the first episode a go, Kaos is available to watch on Netflix now.

Netflix viewers hail 'perfect' new show that critics can't get enough of
A new show that people are falling in love with
When a new TV series is described as 'perfect' by those who have watched it, you know it's probably worth the time of day.
That certainly seems to be the case with one of Netflix's new shows that premiered on the global streaming platform yesterday (8 February).
Starring Leo Woodall and Ambika Mod, it's a romantic drama following the lives of two people as they navigate the world after their university graduation.
It's based on a 2009 novel by David Nicholls, where every chapter of the book covers the lives of the two main characters on 15 July, St Swithin's Day, for two decades.
Scoring a very impressive 90 percent with critics over on Rotten Tomatoes, it's seemingly hitting all the right notes to become an instant success.
One fan on X, formerly known as Twitter, said: "I finished it it was just perfect - funny and warm whilst also being punch you in the gut heartbreaking.
"I absolutely loved it and will be needed at least 10 days compassionate leave from work whilst I mourn finishing it."
The show we're talking about is One Day, and you can watch the heartrending trailer below:
Woodall and Mod play lead roles Dexter Mayhew and Emma Morley.
The show starts at the University of Edinburgh in 1988, where Dexter and Emma spend a night together.
After falling into bed together, instead of having sex they spend the night talking about how different their lives might be once they both turn 40.
The show differs slightly to the book, in that it checks in with the duo over the course of 14 years as they enjoy the '90s and early '00s.
Their friendship deepens alongside a simmering mutual attraction to each other, no matter how much they both insist they're just friends.
Every episode is around 30 minutes long, with 14 of them in total. The finale is longer, adding to the climactic viewer experience.
Reviewing the show, M.N. Miller of FandomWire said: "What you’ll love about One Day is that the chemistry between Em and Dex is mature and well-earned, whereas most romantic comedies or romances are undeserving."
Laura Bradley of The Daily Beast said: "If the pair’s aching, simmering chemistry doesn’t reduce you to a puddle of tears, rest assured that the wrenching story certainly will."
And Matthew Gilbert, of the Boston Globe, added: "It’s not an existential meditation on anything. It’s pleasing, easy viewing, helped by having a pair of effective lead performances, a solid source in the 2009 novel by David Nicholls, and a carefully achieved bittersweet tone."
Fans of the show who want more can watch the film adaptation of One Day, released back in 2011.
It stars Hollywood heavyweight Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess in the roles played by Woodall and Mod.
But you might not come away with the same satisfaction. The film scored a 35 percent rating with critics and 50 percent with audiences, meaning you've probably already watched the better adaptation of the novel.
Netflix fans can't get enough of new film based on true story with more than 10m views in two days
The new movie only landing on the streaming platform a week ago but already its had over 10m views
You know something is going to be good when everyone is talking about it, and that includes the latest releases on Netflix.
If you're swerving the hype around Bridgerton and looking for something to get your teeth into on Netflix, then join the 10.8 million people who have already watched the latest crime movie on the streaming platform.
Hit Man dropped on Netflix last Friday, June 7, and was met with rave reviews already. It's received a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes and shot to the top of the charts in the UK.
The crime comedy film follows the true story of Gary Johnson, a teacher who moonlights as a tech guy for his local police department, until one day he takes on a new role – pretending to be a fake hitman.
The film is based on a real Gary Johnson, who was hired to ‘kill’ more than 70 people.

Film fans have gone wild for the movie, with one writing on Twitter/X: "I’m not a big fan of theatrical releases hitting Netflix after only 3 weeks, but Hit Man was an incredible movie."
Another shared: "Omg I’m watching the new Hit Man movie on Netflix & it’s so good! I’m intrigued."

Viewers can't get enough of '10/10' British crime thriller's new series after graphic murder scene in first episodes
Brits can't get enough of the latest season which has just landed on ITV and ITVX
There's nothing better than the new season of a series you love being released and it exceeding your expectations.
Brits tuning into a gripping crime thriller on ITV have got that exact buzz after watching the latest action-packed episodes that have landed on the small screen.
The first episode of only premiered on 28 January but fans are already hooked on the fresh storyline, with some already admitting they are going to struggle to wait until each Sunday to watch it on a weekly basis.
Take a look at the trailer here:
Luckily for the impatient lot, the entirety of the new season has already landed on the broadcaster's streaming service, ITVX, so you can binge-watch it all there as we speak.
Viewers can't stop talking about the show, called Trigger Point, after being blown away by all the drama that's brimming in each episode, as well as the fact that Vicky McClure, Nabil Elouahabi, Eric Shango, Mark Stanley, Kerry Godliman, Kris Hitchen and Kevin Eldon are all returning to reprise their hit roles.
People had pretty high expectations for the second series after being left 'in shock' by the finale of the last one and it seems the cast have outdone themselves if social media reviews are anything to go by.
ITV
McClure, who is back to play Met Police explosives officer Lana Washington, previously said they were all 'so pleased to be back' to film together after getting such a 'great response' to the first instalment of Trigger Point.
She added: "The scripts are filled to the brim with twists, turns, those explosive moments and along with our returning cast and brilliant new cast members it’s set to be an exciting shoot!"
In the first episode, her character has just returned to London from a secondment in Estonia where she was training troops heading to the frontline in Ukraine and she hosts a talk regarding the terror threat facing the UK capital.
But her presentation is interrupted by a pretty big problem - an explosion has just rocked the heart of the city just minutes from where she is and of course Washington ends up at the centre of it all.

ITV The initial episodes also feature some pretty graphic and grisly scenes too - including a moment in the second one where someone was brutally murdered as the blast expert watches on helplessly.
The bomb disposal officer chillingly enters a house to find a woman named Zara who has been tied up with a collar bomb strapped around her neck.
She desperately tries to free the woman but accidentally triggered the countdown - and time runs out before Washington can save her. Although she walked away unscathed, the experience takes a toll on her emotionally.
Viewers couldn't believe how 'graphic' the suspense-filled scenes were, with some comparing it to 'something out of a horror movie' - suggesting ITV have really stepped up their game for Trigger Point season two.

Another wrote: "Trigger Point season 2 is WHOA."
A third added: "Season 2 of Trigger Point is maaaad."
And a fourth dubbed the new season 'excellent' while praising McClure's lead performance.

Netflix has added eight seasons of the most bingeable series of all time.
Viewers are struggling to get past a traumatising scene as Netflix adds one of the most bingeable series ever.
The critically acclaimed crime drama ran from 2006 to 2013, with a reboot in 2021, and follows the life of America's favourite serial killer.
Showtime Network's show Dexter explores the life of Miami Metro Police Department officer Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) who secretly lives a double life.
As well as investigating murders in the homicide division, the blood pattern analyst kills murderers in his spare time.
However, as all eight seasons are now available to watch on Netflix, viewers have been reminded of the chilling scene starring Julie Benz, who plays Rita Bennett.

Bennett had two children when she met Dexter, and after she married him, she welcomed a third child.
In the season four finale, when Dexter murdered The Trinity Killer, he convinced Rita to leave early for their honeymoon.
However, when he returned home, he received a voicemail from Rita, who said she was returning home to pick up her forgotten ID and would take a later flight.
When Dexter called Rita's phone, he was stunned to hear the ringtone from inside her purse on the table.
After hearing his son cry, he found the baby sitting in a pool of blood and Rita's lifeless body lying inside a bathtub.
She was the last person murdered by The Trinity Killer.
And having rewatched the scene on Netflix, viewers are still traumatised.

"When you get called to the producers' room, you're being killed off a show, it's just, you just know that."
She continued to say: "Before they'd said a word, I said, 'I'm smart enough to know what's going on, so thank you for a great four years, let's talk tomorrow'.
"And I'm feeling the panic attack coming on. They wanted to have a conversation and so then I had to sit down."
