Greek Tragedy - or bad Netflix series?

So let's go over the "action" (3rd of the 3 unities in classic Greek tragedy) in Aeschylus' Oresteia trilogy (including a bit of the back story): Agamemnon, bound for Troy to avenge the kidnapping of Helen (his wife's sister) sacrifices his daughter as a prayer to the Gods - the first killing (even the Greeks, I think, don't have words for all the "-cides") - can you imagine anything for gruesome and sadistic? Wisely, A included this "action" only as back story. He's gone 10 years and then he comes home victorious, and with the King of Troy's (Priam's) daughter, Cassandra, in tow; there's the clear implication that he had been having an affair w/ C., at least on the return voyage. Greeted by wife, Clytemnestra, has been preparing her vengeance for years (and also having an affair with a local "hero," Aegisthes (I will definitely misspell or misremember many of the names), who's been sharpening her swords and practically at the moment of arrival assassinates her husband Cassandra (I think?), as he/they are taking a bath after their long journey. A regicide and spousicide (?) in one. When the children - Electra and Orestes - hear of this slaughter they join forces and assassinate mom and her new paramour (regicide + patricide), and that's as far as I've gotten, though I know that O will spend the rest of his life trying to escape the hell of the Furies, one of the Greek choruses, until his final absolution (in the 3rd play of the trilogy, the Eumemides). So does this sound like a bad Netflix series or what? Obviously, what makes this play world famous is the intensity of the emotions and the vivid language; the plot, such as it is, and the characterizations, remain just a substructure upon which to build. Of course this narrative has been retold and adapted by many writers over the past 200 years (and more), one notable example being O'Neill's Mourning Becomes Electra. The Greek tragedies are almost laid down as the first markers in a game, challenging all who follow to build upon this foundation. I am not one who thinks the great age of literature has passed; I think literature has matured and evolved over the past millennia, and writers now have resources - in both style and mode - available that were unimaginable to the Greeks. As has been often said, we stand on the shoulders of giants.
