Netflix: What is the ideal order to watch Kaleidoscope episodes

Kaleidoscope is Netflix’s new hit. It is number 1 in the United States and for its innovative proposal, at least, it attracts attention.

What is new is not its history, but rather its 8 episodes -all titled with the name of a different color- they can be displayed in any order. Netflix shows them to users randomly so that everyone has a different experience.

The premise of the plot is simple: Leo, a veteran thief, organizes a 7 billion dollar heist with his gang (the largest in history) and things get complicated.

The story is one and, not being strictly linear, is content with episodes that complement each other. Nor is it an anthology, like Black Mirror or The Cabinet of Curiosities, that have episodes with standalone or standalone stories.

The series features familiar faces. The protagonist is played by Giancarlo Espósito (Breaking Bad) and one of the characters, for example, is played by the Spaniard vega peace. The manager of Kaleidoscope is Eric Garcia (Supah Ninja).

What is the correct order to watch it?

With the proposal on the table, the first question from Internet users was: How to see it in the correct order? And the second: What’s the best order?

These questions are very difficult to answer because the Kaleidoscope can be seen up to 40,000 different ways. Literally.

The idea is that Kaleidoscope is consumed in any order, but you can do it in a different way if you want. chronological. This way (and, spoilers be warned), the episodes would be laid out like this: Purple, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, White, Red, Pink.

And the best order?

However, the series suggests a golden rule: leave the White episode for the end. If you choose to be the outcome, there will be 5,000 different ways to approach Kaleidoscope, but if that idea is broken, the number of alternatives is multiplied by eight.

Now, there are episode combinations that are better than others. Everything is relative, but if you are looking for an experience that is as linear as possible, but with just the right amount of detours or “pitfalls”, a mix could be: Yellow, Green, Orange, Purple, Blue, Red, Pink, White.

With this modality suggested by Esquire, the user is assured of a good basis: a great beginning, an interesting development and a full-steam finish.

Inspired by a true event

Garcia, the showrunner of the show, revealed that the story is very loosely inspired by true events.

“It’s loosely based on something that could have happened,” the director said, according to Cultura Ocio.

Why? “In the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, $70 billion in bonds poured into the basement of the Depositary Trust & Clearing Corporation, a clearing services company owned by a group of large banks. I thought ‘well, that would be a perfect cover for a robbery,'” revealed the director.
