How to watch Netflix’s ‘Kaleidoscope’ episodes in chronological order

Hate the idea of ​​a novel interactive TV show and just want the story to be boring and linear? Well, maybe you should look into it, and you also hate both knife outside It’s not just movies, I think we’re here to help.

Netflix kaleidoscope It’s a heist series with a twist. Not only is the series not chronological, but the streaming service itself claims to give viewers “randomly” ordered episodes. Except for the finale. You don’t get to choose your own adventures quite like Netflix’s truly interactive adventures Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Also Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs. Reverend But the playfulness here lies in the order in which you watch the series.

By Eric Garcia, kaleidoscope It’s about one massive robbery by master thief Leo Papp (Giancarlo Esposito) and his team of criminals, but it spans 25 years, from 24 years before the robbery to 6 months after. what are we stealing? Only the most secure vault on the east coast of the United States, he needs a series of jobs, not one, to get the job done successfully. And, of course, the motive is not just to get rich, but to be equal. According to Netflix, the series is “roughly based on the bizarre case of stock and bond deeds stored in a Wall Street underground vault that was reportedly damaged by flooding from Hurricane Sandy in 2012. It’s ‘inspired’.

Each episode is named with a different color (‘yellow’, ‘green’, ‘violet’, ‘blue’, ‘orange’, ‘red’, ‘pink’ and finale ‘white’). Even if it’s the last thing you’ll see), it paves the way for the story — either a character backstory, a little underhanded reference, or the plot of the heist itself. It’s just the order you choose (or provided by Netflix) to watch that differs.

i didn’t see it personally kaleidoscope In chronological order, but if you really want it, here’s the timeline (so as not to spoil the plot):
