The set-up for the series<\/a> is simple, with a gang of thieves attempting to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault. However, Netflix users are each assigned a different order to watch the episodes in, with new pieces of the puzzle being unveiled with each instalment before the only fixed episode, the final heist, reveals all.<\/p>\n The show stars Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell and Jai Courtney amongst others, and has proved popular with users for its twists, turns and unexpected reveals.<\/p>\n But if you don\u2019t want to leave the order up to Netflix\u2019s algorithm, or if you\u2019re planning a rewatch in a different order, then there are a number of different ways to watch Kaleidoscope<\/a>. Read on for everything you need to know.<\/p>\n A different order of the episodes will be lined up for each viewer by Netflix, but everyone will have the same first and last episodes \u2013 Black, which is a short explainer of the concept, will be first, while White, the season finale, will come last.<\/p>\n Beyond these, the middle episodes of Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, Violet, Red and Pink can be watched in any order, with each adding a piece to the puzzle before the final explainer of just what happened in White.<\/p>\n Praising the show\u2019s non-linear format,\u00a0lead cast member Esposito previously told TVLine<\/a>: \u201cI think it allows [viewers] not to be in their comfort zone.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we watch things, we kind of have an idea of how it\u2019ll turn out, how it\u2019ll end, what\u2019s going to happen, so I like the idea of being taken out of your comfort zone, because I think that allows you to be more attentive.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019ve got to watch this thing closely, and I imagine you will, because little things happen which you don\u2019t think might be clues, but are.\u201d<\/p>\n The chronological order of Kaleidoscope is as follows:<\/p>\n However, that does not mean that is the order the episodes should be watched in \u2013 in fact, they shouldn\u2019t, as White, the heist episode, is intended to be watched last.<\/p>\n Kaleidoscope is a new crime\/heist drama which is told in an innovative fashion, and is available on Netflix<\/a> now.<\/p>\n What makes it unique to most series is its structure \u2013 each of the episodes can be watched in any order, but do add up to tell one story, making it part anthology, part continuing drama.<\/p>\n The episodes aren\u2019t numbered \u2013 instead, they are each named after a different colour, and will appear in a different order on each individual\u2019s Netflix, giving them a different route through the story.<\/p>\n The story takes place over 25 years, with each episode telling a story at a different point in the timeline. They\u2019ve then been jumbled up so it all becomes a mystery of just how the heist took place, a secret which is finally revealed at the end.<\/p>\n The official synopsis for Kaleidoscope describes the story as follows: \u201cSpanning 25 years, Kaleidoscope is an all-new anthology series following a crew of masterful thieves and their attempt to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault for the biggest payday in history.<\/p>\n \u201cGuarded by the world\u2019s most powerful corporate security team, and with law enforcement on the case, every episode reveals a piece of an elaborate puzzle of corruption, greed, vengeance, scheming, loyalties and betrayals. How did the crew of thieves plan it? Who gets away with it? Who can be trusted?\u201d<\/p> Each of the episodes add a piece to the puzzle of just how the heist took place, what led up to it in the first place and what happened after.<\/p>\n Eric Garcia, the show\u2019s creator, explained that while the idea for the show started from the non-linear structure, the concept for the story came from a real-life event.<\/p>\n He said in a featurette for the show<\/a>: \u201cIt\u2019s based on a potentially real story. After Hurricane Sandy, $70 billion in unregistered bearer bonds were flooded and lost.<\/p>\n \u201cMy first thought upon reading all these things was, \u2018Oh, someone made off with $70 billion and is using Hurricane Sandy as, like, a really good excuse.’\u201d<\/p>\n Kaleidoscope is available to stream on Netflix now.
