Netflix’s new limited series Kaleidoscope has a lot of familiar features.

The series drops on January 1st and is currently the #1 TV show on Netflix. Giancarlo Esposito plays Ray Vernon (a.k.a. Leo Papp), the ringleader of a group plotting a multi-billion dollar job while settling old scores. Every episode tells a chunk of story, focusing on what unfolds in Vernon’s motives, heist plans, or the aftermath. (except for the actual heist, which serves as the final episode).
This isn’t the first time Netflix has experimented with non-linear storytelling. 2018, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch In a movie about computer programmers, I proposed the idea of choosing your own adventures.The following year, viewers had to make an adventurer’s decision Bear Grylls You vs Wild.
Kaleidoscope episodes are named after different colors. It’s definitely a nod to the series’ name, but it’s also an easy way to keep track of your viewing order and compare it to your friends—you’re under no obligation to watch it the way Netflix suggests.

And if you need help with powering it up and sorting out what happened, Here is the explanation for the ending.

necessarily. When you play the show, you’ll get a quick introduction to how it works, and the episode will start immediately. They can come in any order, except for White, who is the heist itself and is made up to be the series finale. can.
How can I see them in chronological order?
In keeping with the spirit of the show, the episode descriptions are omitted to avoid spoilers. If you choose to watch Kaleidoscope in chronological order, the order of the episodes will be: It begins with a robbery young Vernon 24 years before him.

Are there other viewing methods?

Naturally, many people are discussing which order of episodes they chose and which order is best.
how you Look, who wrote this article?
What a thoughtful question. As per Netflix’s instructions, my order was:
- green.
- yellow.
- violet.
- orange.
- blue.
- red.
- pink.
- White.
Oddly enough, my best friend’s Netflix account gave her this exact order. It meant chronologically arranging two sets of episodes with relatively small time gaps. I could feel my attention waning slightly in that section. Watching this show chronologically feels like it’s missing the point. If you could go back and see them in a different order, turn up the red (but leave the pink in place) and flip the yellow and green.
So it looks like this:
- yellow.
- green.
- violet.
- orange.
- red.
- blue.
- pink.
- White.
