As they call it in Hollywood plot (the summary of the plot of a film and/or series), in the case of Kaleidoscope it would be like this: a gang of thieves will try to commit a robbery of more than 7 billion dollars.
In other words, at a glance one of the thefts (another?), the viewer might say. And since it’s a Netflix premiere – it will be this Sunday January 1st -, it’s not difficult to think about it right away. The robbery of money, another of robberies that “we all know”.
Hand. Regardless of how well written/acted/directed etc, what Kaleidoscope offers as original and hook, before the what is the how: on the 8 episodes of the series, each spectator will be able to see them in the order he wishes, except the last onethat yes or yes, they will all see at the same time…
If that sounds like “create your own story” to you, that’s fine. If they are a little older and cortazeansThink about Bell -Julio Cortazar’s masterpiece- will be inevitable.
Synopsis
The streaming platform thus describes the synopsis of the plot: Kaleidoscope (formerly titled puzzle) is a new anthology series that spans 25 years and tells the story of a gang of skilled thieves who set out to open a supposedly impregnable vault in order to obtain the greatest loot in history.
The chamber is guarded by the most powerful corporate security team in the world, and the FBI is hot on their tail. Each episode of the series reveals a piece of an intricate puzzle of corruption, greed, revenge, machinations, loyalty and betrayal. How did the thieves plan it? Who gets away with it? Who can be trusted?
Kaleidoscopeloosely based on the true story of the disappearance of $7 billion in midtown Manhattan bonds during Hurricane Sandy, It consists of eight episodes covering a period between 25 years before the coup and 6 months after.
This gripping crime anthology series takes a non-linear narrative style that generates intrigue and suspense and offers Netflix subscribers a unique and immersive viewing experience.
Some subscribers will start with certain episodes (such as Yellow or Green) and progress in that personal viewing order with other episodes (Blue, Violet or Orange, followed by Red or Pink) until White’s final epic story.
Eventually, everyone will see all the episodes, but depending on the order they follow, they will get one or the other view of the story., the characters, the questions and the answers that the coup causes. How will you live the colors of this Kaleidoscope?
Launch

History, loosely based on a heist in Manhattan during Hurricane Katrina, is told in a non-linear way, according to Netflix: the order of the episodes (although the ending is always shown last) varies from viewer to viewer, creating multiple viewing experiences. possible, where in the end everyone can watch the entire series.
This show breaks convention by asking the audience to discover the characters for themselves, for without a linear story to follow, it’s hard to know the characters well enough to predict their actions.
Each installment reveals a piece in an elaborate puzzle of corruption, greed, revenge, intrigue, loyalty and betrayal. When you start watching the series, it will start with an unspecified episode (which Netflix will randomly assign) and those that are titled as colors, hence the title of the show.
Thus, the streaming service could start with the entry called “Yellow,” which takes place six weeks before the robbery. Meanwhile, another user could start this adventure with another chapter, which starts on the same day as the robbery.
Once you complete the episode, you’ll have a new one to watch, and again, it’s random. The only chapter where all viewers will end up the same is Whitewhich marks the epic conclusion of the story.
According to the platform, the idea is that each subscriber gets a unique viewing experience. Kaleidoscope will try to keep you guessing until the last moment and force you to rethink what is known about the story.
