Netflix’s Upcoming Action Series ‘Kaleidoscope’ Allows Viewers To Watch in Any Order

Netflix has a reputation for disrupting the TV scene, and its upcoming series “Kaleidoscope” is its latest endeavor to change the way we tell stories. A unique action-packed crime story, “Kaleidoscope” tells the tale of a crew of master thieves who come together to steal $7 billion. Instead of telling it chronologically, though, Netflix will allow viewers to watch any episode of their choosing in any order they wish. It seems like an intriguing new storytelling experience, one that might require some mental gymnastics on behalf of both filmmakers and viewers alike but so far it looks like Netflix could be shaking up the TV world yet again with this experience. “Kaleidoscope” is a story of con artists, thieves, and grifters who attempt to pull off the biggest heist in history set over 25 years. The show will be told across eight episodes, each created by Eric Garcia. The episodes will be linked by a common theme and characters but come together as one cohesive story. It’s an interesting concept for sure, one that could have viewers reaching for their Advil after a viewing session.

What is the series about? 

According to Netflix, “Kaleidoscope” is “a story of con artists, thieves, and grifters who attempt to pull off the biggest heist in history set over 25 years.” The story follows an international crew led by FBI Agent Anne Reynolds who are brought together to pull off what appears to be an impossible task: break into one of the most secure vaults in the world and steal $7 billion. The money is frozen in a time-released vault for ten years and can only be accessed once a year. To get their hands on it, they need to make it through two layers of security including a team of mercenaries and a gang of ex-military operatives. It’s not just a story of the heist, though. The show is composed of eight half-hour episodes that span 25 years, told across multiple storylines. It’s meant to be viewed in any order and could create a unique viewing experience for viewers.

What makes this series interesting? 

For one thing, it’s odd to think that people don’t just binge-watch their favorite series. In some instances, they want to experience something on a multi-episode or multi-season scale. Now, if you binge-watch the whole series in one go and catch up on episodes later, you can completely miss out on something important. “Kaleidoscope” is an interesting new way of telling stories as well as a unique way for viewers to connect with it. If viewers decide to watch all the episodes in one go, sticking with the same character at a time or seeing everything for an hour at a time could be hard to follow.

Who can watch this series? 

“Kaleidoscope” is a must-see for fans of crime series. While there are plenty of heist films, TV shows, and shows like “24” with its espionage angle, it may not be something that gives you a sense of “so bad it’s good.” You can watch this one if you think “The Fast and the Furious” is too boring for your taste. It all comes down to how fluid you think the storytelling is as well as how confusing things can get from episode to episode. This one could make for an interesting viewing experience or just an interesting viewing experience.
