Jeff Goldblum stars in the eight-part series as the almighty Zeus, who becomes vengeful against his human subjects after becoming convinced that the end of his reign is near. He stars alongside fellow acting royalty including David Thewlis (Hades), Billie Piper (Cassandra) and Janet McTeer (Hera).
The series has been widely praised, not only for the changes it's made to Greek mythology to make it a fresh re-telling, but also for its no-nonsense LGBTQ+ representation – whether that's from Misia Butler's Canaeus, or Stephen Dillane's Prometheus.
Accompanying the action is a genre-bending soundtrack, which mixes contemporary genres with classical music. There's also an original song performed by Orpheus actor Killian Scott.
So, without further ado, here's every song in Kaos! Or, if you want more Kaos, be sure to check out our review of the epic series.

Who sings Eurydice in Kaos?
The track is written and produced by Dan Smith and performed by Killian Scott, who portrays rockstar Orpheus.
Scott recently opened up to RadioTimes.com about performing the song in character.
He said: "Charlie writes something very special and I just try and allow it to naturally come out. When we did the gig sequence..."
Co-star Aurora Perrineau chimed in: "You were very much in your element."
Scott added: "Give me a couple of takes, and I've got the nerves out of the system, I can roll with it! With the gig scene, we mapped out the vague movements for the camera department... when you're on the stage, you've got this amount of room to play with, and that was very liberating.
"I was like, 'I want to hear action and then we'll just see what happens.' I've seen a million gigs in my life so I think I was probably subconsciously working off stuff I've seen but I like it to be natural and whatever my version of the thing is."
Who composed the Kaos score?
Isabella Summers, one of the founding members of Florence & Machine, composed the score for the series.
Summers has previously produced scores for Apple TV's Physical and Netflix's period drama, Lady Chatterley’s Lover, amongst other TV and film projects.
Kaos is available to stream on Netflix. Sign up for Netflix from £4.99 a month. Netflix is also available on Sky Glass and Virgin Media Stream.
