Of course, it’s none other than Billie Piper who plays the Greek goddess Cassandra in the new Netflix series, which is a modern take on Greek mythology.
Billie shared a series of selfies on her Instagram and wrote: “The gods are crazy. Come and watch our show, now available on @netflixuk.”
The series, which also stars Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer and Suzy Eddie Izzard, has been hailed as “an absolute triumph” by critics after the “madcap” black comedy was released on Netflix on Thursday.
The eight-episode series from The End of the F***ing World creator Charlie Covell has left pundits impressed with its modern take on Greek mythology.
Starring Hollywood star Jeff as a power-hungry, tracksuit-clad Zeus, his “effortless” performance and “madcap charisma” have left viewers wanting more.
The show follows his character, who wakes up one day to see a wrinkle on his forehead and believes it is a sign that an ancient prophecy foretelling his downfall is coming true.
iNews He wonders why no one has cast Jeff Goldblum as the “king of the gods” until now because he fits the character “very well.”
Awarding the series four stars, TV editor Emily Baker notes: “A riot of colour and detail that could at times be mistaken for a Versace advert, this is a big-budget, no-nonsense journey through ancient Greek mythology – no classics degree required.”

In The standardIn her four-star review, Vicky Jessop writes: “This is surely the craziest show to come along in a long time.”
And he adds: ‘The show is an explosion of creativity that practically seeps off the screen, punctuated by sharp bursts of wit and pathos.
“The story is crazy, the energy is frenetic and the acting is off the charts. But it all comes together perfectly and the end result is a glorious burst of explosive energy. Just what you need to chase away the autumn blues.”
The Hollywood Reporter He praised the “impressive cast and cheeky tone” but said it shows “little investment in a substantial follow-up.”
They write: ‘The The series becomes an almost uninterrupted stream of interesting fragments, fused together by an overly aggressive soundtrack and intrusive Promethean voiceover in lieu of any real narrative.

The Hollywood Reporter praised the “impressive cast and bold tone” but said it shows “little investment in a substantial follow-up.”
“Every reading of a Goldblum verse is a little treasure, especially in the current political climate.”
The telegraph applauds the black comedy as a “rampant reboot of Greek myths.”
Jasper Rees notes: “It all looks splendidly expensive, even without many special effects. The musical palette also runs the gamut from Mozart to Bowie to Enya.
‘When Zeus takes the form of Jeff Goldblum we are clearly in the realm of neurotic comedy.’
In The Guardian‘s five-star review praises the series for being “witty, rigorous, hugely intelligent, funny and brutal.”
Lucy Mangan writes: ‘Funny, deep and moving – this fantasy series is an absolute triumph. Its story about Zeus and company living in the present day is clever, twisty and action-packed.
“It’s an absolute triumph, thanks to Covell and the gods.”
