Netflix viewers have one concern after new 'original as hell' series quickly becomes fan favourite

The star-studded fantasy-comedy stars the likes of Jeff Goldblum and Janet McTeer

Netflix fanatics obsessed with an incredible new fantasy-comedy series have one major warning to anyone else set to make it their next binge watch.

Having landed on the streaming service a matter of days ago, this star-studded hit has managed to soar all the way up to Netflix's Top 10 shows.

And once we caught wind of the huge-name cast - including everyone's favourite glasses-wearer, Jeff Goldblum, and British acting mega star Janet McTeer - and stellar plot-line, we instantly understood why.

To put it simply, this eight-part series is a modern-day re-imagining of Greek mythology, set in modern day.

Zeus - King of the Gods, played by Jurassic Park alum Goldbum - suddenly begins fearing that his reign over the human race might be coming to an end, after discovering a wrinkle on his forehead, implying he's not as omnipotent as he formerly believed.

As such, he wreaks havoc on the world, as several members of his divine family - including his cunning other-half Hera (McTeer), mischevious son Dionysus (Nabhaan Rizwan), and meddlesome brothers Hades (David Thewlis) and Poseidon (Cliff Curtis) - have some fun of their own.

Meanwhile, three humans discover they're more closely-related to these self-absorbed deities than they thought, and begin a plot to take control of the system that rules them.

Kaos sounds pretty epic, right?

The show has already bagged an impressive 80 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and is currently sitting pretty in the No. 2 spot on Netflix.

"I liked it. I thought it was creative and original as hell," one fanatic also penned on Reddit this week, as another added: "I've watched it in one sitting and on my 2nd watch now. Loved it."

Despite mass praise from fans, however, a batch of viewers have also been left concerned about one particular aspect of Kaos, which they've taken to social media to express.

It isn't that they have a bone to pick over the plot, however - it's that they loved the series so much, that they believe it's bound to be cancelled before a second season gets announced.

I mean, that's always the way, right?

"I really liked it. So it will be cancelled for sure," one viewer teased.

Another explained: "My wife says the exact same thing. Any time a new show comes out, she tells me not to watch until we know for sure there's gonna be at least a second season. Everything new that I end up liking, dies."

"It's worth the watch. I liked it. So yes, it will be cancelled," a third joked.

Another continued: "I loved it. I'm a mythology geek so it was funny seeing their characters in a more modern setting. I hope they show the other gods in the next season. But since the consensus is that it's a good show, there's an 80 percent chance it gets cancelled."
