As the January urge to hibernate fully takes hold, we’ve got a top recommendation for your Netflix watch list: Kaleidoscope.
The heist series, already one of the best new shows of 2023, has joined the ranks of Money Heist and Lupin on the streaming service, but it has a very interesting twist—there’s no set order you need to watch the show’s episodes in.
There are reportedly 40,320 ways to watch the show, with each episode assigned a certain color. Both Green and Violet are flashbacks, so you might choose to watch them first. Or, you might start with the heist episode itself, White. It’s completely up to you, and a great opportunity to mix up your entertainment experience.
According to Netflix, the aim of the this “non-linear approach to storytelling” was to “build intrigue and suspense uniquely, with Netflix members each having a different immersive viewing experience.”
Here’s everything (else) we know about Kaleidoscope so far.
What is Kaleidoscope about?
The official Netflix synopsis reads as follows: “Spanning 25 years, Kaleidoscope is an all-new anthology series following a crew of masterful thieves and their attempt to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault for the biggest payday in history.
“Guarded by the world’s most powerful corporate security team, and with law enforcement on the case, every episode reveals a piece of an elaborate puzzle of corruption, greed, vengeance, scheming, loyalties and betrayals. How did the crew of thieves plan it? Who gets away with it? Who can be trusted?
