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 bunch of selfies on her Instagram and wrote: ‘The gods are f****** mad. Come and watch our show, available now on @netflixuk’.
The series, starring Jeff Goldblum, Janet McTeer and Suzy Eddie Izzard, was hailed by critics as “an absolute triumph” after the “madcap” dark comedy hit Netflix on Thursday.
The eight-episode series from The End of the F***ing World creator Charlie Covell has impressed experts with its modern take on Greek mythology.
Hollywood star Jeff plays the power-hungry Zeus in a tracksuit. His “effortless” performance and “crazy charisma” leave viewers wanting more.
The series follows his character, who wakes up one day to find a wrinkle on his forehead, which he believes is a sign that an ancient prophecy predicting his downfall is coming true.
iNews wonders why no one has cast Jeff Goldblum as “the king of the gods” before, since he can relate to the character “so well.”
TV editor Emily Baker gave the series four stars, noting: “An explosion of colour and detail that could at times resemble a Versace advert. It’s a big budget, not a crazy journey through ancient Greek mythology. No classical backdrop required.”

In The StandardIn the four-star review, Vicky Jessop writes: ‘This is easily the most insane series the show has released in a long time.’
She adds: ‘The show is an explosion of creativity that almost jumps off the screen, punctuated by sharp bursts of humour and pathos.
“The story is insane, the energy is frenetic, and the performances are bizarre. But it all comes together and the end result is a glorious explosion of firework energy. Just what you need to chase away those fall blues.”
The Hollywood Reporter praised the “impressive cast and brash tone,” but said there was “little investment in substantive development.”
They write: ‘The series becomes a near-constant stream of fun bits and pieces, tied together by an overly aggressive soundtrack and an intrusive Promethean voiceover in lieu of any real story.

‘Every Goldblum line you read is a little treasure. Especially in today’s political climate.’
The Telegraph praises the black comedy as a ‘lavish retelling of the Greek myths.’
Jasper Rees comments: ‘It all looks beautifully expensive, even without a lot of special effects. The musical palette also travels throughout the store, from Mozart to Bowie via Enya.
“When Zeus takes the form of Jeff Goldblum, we are clearly in the realm of neurotic comedy.”
In The guardThe five-star review praised the series as “witty, accurate, fiercely intelligent, funny and brutal.”
Lucy Mangan writes: ‘Hilarious, profound and moving, this fantasy series is an unmitigated triumph. The story of Zeus and coexistence in the modern age is intelligent, twisty and action-packed.
“It’s an absolute triumph – thank Covell and the gods.”
