Kaleidoscope on Netflix

New heist series. Each episode is colour-coded rather than numbered as you are intended to watch them in any, random, order rather than in sequence.

Feels weird at first and hard to believe it can work. But it does - at least for me so far. Watched two episodes and it’s tense and enjoyable.

Anyone else watching?
 
I’ve just updated my Netflix “to watch” list.

We’ve just started Treason. Only one episode in but enjoyed that.

Kaleidoscope will be next. I loved Money Heist so hoping for similar level of entertainment.

Last of us out next week too - can’t wait for that!
 
Yeah! I wasn't keen on the nonlinear order idea going in, but it's brilliant. Helps that I'd watch Giancarlo Esposito in anything all day long.
 
It's really good guys I've watched them all,
The order I would suggest watching them in 👍
Yellow
Violet
Orange
Green
Blue
Red
Pink
White

Came from some nerd who reviewed it, we followed the order and think it worked well 👍
The actor who played Gus Fring in Breaking Bad is the lead 👍
You have to watch White last, Netflix random suggests the rest but follow my order and it all makes sense 👍

We have copied this order as well and agreed it works well. We have just finished green. I do like these clever heist type programmes.
 
We've just finished The Rig (rotten) before that we watched Treason (excellent) and Teacher (excellent) - started Happy Valley yesterday so we'll be watching that and then we'll follow this ep list, i've heard good things about it though!
 
I watched Yellow first and then Yellow 2nd.
Found it a bit repetitive to be honest.

Another shout for Treason here. Loved that too.. Just a short, sharp 5 parter which I like.

Tense and keep me interested.

I enoyed three episodes of Treason then felt like it was getting a bit daft. I actually chose to watch two episodes of Kaleidoscope last night and thoroughly enjoyed. Let me know if it's worth watching the end of Treason 😁
 
Me and the missus have just finished watching Karen Pirie, a Scottish crime drama, solving the murder of a case from ‘96 (I think).

Watched on the dodgy stick, so not sure where it was officially released, but it is a 2022 3 parter.

It was decent.
 
Was reading a review in the independent which was rather scathing of this random order “gimmick” which kind of put me off bothering with it. I’ll try it anyway given the comments here.

Netflix’s Kaleidoscope gimmick is a desperate attempt to stay fresh

Netflix’s new heist series offers viewers a unique proposition: eight episodes that can be watched in whichever order they so choose. Some might call it ‘innovation’ – but it’s no way to tell a story, writes Louis Chilton

Don’t bother, Treason became quite stupid.

The ending is so often where these series get messed up.
