You know Zeus. Greek god of thunder, curly hair, luscious big beard, turns into a swan? You’ve seen his face on statues in parks and on tile mosaics behind the counter in kebab shops.
That’s not the Zeus in Netflix’s new fantasy drama Kaos, from Charlie Covell, screenwriter of The End of the F***ing World. As played by Jeff Goldblum, the Zeus of Kaos looks more Tony Soprano than beardy all-father. And home-of-the-gods Mount Olympus? Think a lavishly appointed mansion such as you might see on Selling Sunset instead of a bucolic paradise crawling with nymphs and fauns.
Covell’s vision of Greek myth clearly comes with a modern twist, hence Zeus’ Casio watch and leisure suit collection in the first teaser trailer below:
As Goldblum explained at a recent Netflix slate preview event: “One may say it’s about the Gods, but a different version of the Gods.

The tenth episode of The Irrational did not have any other case for Mercer to solve other than the one he had been trying to solve for the past 20 years, the Church Bombing case. The bomber Wes Banning was in prison, but The Irrational episode 10 showed us that not only did he escape from prison but he also reached Mercer. In an interesting exchange, Mercer tried to figure out what Banning wanted, and in doing so, he learned a thing or two about Banning’s character and his real motivation behind building the bomb.
Spoilers Ahead

At the beginning of The Irrational episode 10, we see Banning getting attacked by a fellow inmate while he was being transferred in a police van. Banning escapes and becomes a problem for Marisa, whom he had threatened in one of his statements. Mercer knew about this,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Irrational Season 1 Episode 10 “Bombshell.”] For most of the latest episode of The Irrational, we’re worried about what might happen to Alec (Jesse L. Martin) with Wes Banning (Ben Cotton), the man who planted the bomb in the church that scarred the professor, not only free but also holding him and his two assistants, Phoebe (Molly Kunz) and Rizwan (Arash DeMaxi) hostage—with another explosive. But after a couple of twists, it’s another character whose life is hanging in the balance at the end. Just before learning of Wes’ escape, Marisa (Maahra Hill) tells Jace (Brian King) she couldn’t stop thinking about who from Sanford’s campaign could have been the target if the bomb at the church had gone off when it was supposed to. Three people were supposed to be there at the time, and two are dead; the other one got lucky “or something else,...

If something doesn't seem right, Mercer is on it and will uncover the truth come rain or come shine.
If there's anything The Irrational has proved in the two episodes it has aired, it's not dull as far as the cases it tackles are concerned.
One can expect an exciting premise for every case, and the investigation until a solution is found is also quite interesting.
The show doesn't seem to be in a hurry to flesh out most of its characters, but as long as they keep delivering these kinds of cases, it is worth dedicating someone's 10 p.m. on Sundays to see what new they have cooked up.
Spoilers for The Irrational Season 1 Episode 3 tease another case-centric episode as a tragedy comes from the sky, but nothing is what it seems.
Plane crashes are usually fatal, which is why most people are afraid of going on planes. Even...

What The Irrational lacks in compelling characters, it makes up for with exciting cases.
The Irrational Season 1 Episode 2 delivered another case for Professor Mercer where a good friend of his sought his help to find her killer before she passed away.
It was an emotional hour as the show dived into complicated relationships between parents and their children and colleagues.
There was also a nod to the season conflict introduced in the series premiere, where Mercer couldn't remember the circumstances under which he sustained severe burns.
The hour saw him try to trigger his memories by recreating a smell that dominated the air on that tragic day.
Cj's case was interesting, and it all related to its introduction. Rarely does someone participate in the hunt for their killer.
It was stuff straight out of a whodunit thriller like Knives Out.
Cj: I need your help solving a murder.
Mercer: Oh yeah.

“The Irrational” is putting the power of free gifts to the test. In a new Episode 2 clip obtained exclusively by TheWrap, Professor Alec Mercer (Jesse L. Martin) walks his students though how to use the promise of free merchandise and trips to find someone who doesn’t want to be found.
The clip revolves around a brainstorming session between Alec and his two protégés, psychology grad student Rizwan (Arash DeMaxi) and grad student assistant Phoebe (Molly Kunz). The task? Draw a man out of hiding who doesn’t want to be found.
It only takes a moment before Rizwan suggests using the “power of free” to their advantage. The idea is that someone would be more willing to give up their location if they think they can get something for free out of the deal. Together, Phoebe and Rizwan figure out an organization their target has already accepted merchandise from — a website called ProChessFans.

Colombo, July 26 (Ians) Sarfaraz Ahmed has been replaced by Mohammad Rizwan as a concussion substitute for the rest of the ongoing second Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka at the Singhalese Sports Club on Wednesday, said Pakistan Cricket Board (Pcb).
Sarfaraz was hit on his head while ducking a bouncer by fast-bowler Asitha Fernando on the very first ball he faced in the afternoon session on day three’s play. Though he hung around for five overs, where he hit three boundaries, Sarfaraz walked off the field after gesturing to the back of his head, where he was hit previously by the bouncer.
Sarfaraz, the wicketkeeper-batter, retired hurt after scoring 14 runs off 22 balls. Pcb added that match referee David Boon accepted the Pakistan team management’s request for the substitution and he remains under the observation of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s medical panel.

Rawalpindi, April 30 (Ians) Fakhar Zaman smashed his third consecutive Odi century to lead hosts Pakistan to a remarkable record-breaking seven-wicket victory over New Zealand here.
The Pakistan opener hit 17 boundaries and six massive sixes during his unbeaten knock of 180* as the Asian side successfully chased down New Zealand’s healthy total of 336/5 with 10 deliveries to spare.

Pakistan’s total of 337/3 was also the fourth highest Odi score by Pakistan’s men’s team in an Odi and their second best run chase.
