In the new Netflix show, “Kaos,” which revolves around the fall of the Greek gods, creator Charlie Covell paints a portrait of immortals who give in to their base desires, insecurities and obsessions. Though the eight-episode series illustrates the dangers of power and greed, it falters due to bulky storylines and wearisome characters.
