KALEIDOSCOPE
If you’re into heists, chaos, captivating characters, personal experiences, and a mind-bending story, then KALEIDOSCOPE (trailer here) is for you. The miniseries follows a master thief Leo Pap (Giancarlo Esposito) and a crew of thieves attempting to heist $7 billion dollars out of an “unbreakable” safe. The Netflix series bends the television format into a “choose your own adventure” show, with every episode designed to be a starting point. The entire show can be viewed in over 5,000 ways, but one caveat is that Netflix strongly recommends the ‘White” episode be viewed last, as that is the only one that covers the actual heist. Each episode is named after a color, and takes place at different times leading up to and after the heist. And obviously, the internet is all over it. My TikTok and Twitter feeds have been filled with people throwing out preferred (but definitive) viewing orders. In each episode, you learn more about an individual character's motivations as well as our stellar lead Leo Pap, painting a more clear picture and leaving you wanting to fill in the gaps! Give this one a watch, either by picking an order you find online, jumping in randomly like me (I started with Red, and have really enjoyed it!), or starting with the order Netflix recommends. No matter your path, you can’t go wrong!
