What Order Should I Watch Kaleidoscope In?

Netflix’s “Kaleidoscope” Might Seem Average thriller series, but it has one thing that sets it apart from other heist movies and shows: The series, released on January 1, has eight episodes, but is designed to be watched in any order. Each episode is titled with a different color, a nod to the titular kaleidoscope, and begins with a title card about how far the episode is from the heist. Some episodes take place just days before, while others go back many years in the past to fill in the backstory. Played by Giancarlo Esposito, the series’ star is a master thief who teams up to rob a vault, but in the end everyone gets more than they bargained for.

Creator and showrunner Eric Garcia explained why he designed the series to be watched in any order in a December 25 interview with the new york post office. “I said, ‘I think with all this batch delivery [of episodes on streaming] there’s no reason you have to watch a show in order. Why can’t we just watch it out of order?’” He added: “And heist stories, which have always been my favorite genre, are always about loyalty and who’s really on whose side, and shifting identities. For a show that’s meant to introduce different characters at different times and see them in different facets, it felt like a clever way to merge the two things: heist and non-linear. [storytelling].”
