Each viewer will have a different viewing experience with Netflix’s Kaleidoscope because the episodes are designed to be seen in a variety of different ways. The idea offers a singular viewing experience to the viewers, who form different opinions of the plot depending on the order in which they watch the episode.
The eight episodes of the show, each of which is titled after a different hue, follow a group of thieves as they pull off a robbery. Every viewer sees the first seven episodes in a different order, but everyone sees the same White conclusion. Many viewers are currently unsure on the best and most chronological order to watch Kaleidoscope. Find out by reading on.
How to Watch Kaleidoscope in Chronological Order?
Every episode takes place either before or after the heist in a different timeline. The day of the theft is when the finale, White, takes place. Creator and showrunner Eric Garcia explained, “There are five episodes that take place before the robbery, two episodes that take place after the heist, and then you get the finale.”
While watching the episodes in a random order will give you a unique experience, you may still follow a chronology by watching the episodes in the following order:
Yellow: six weeks prior to the robbery
Green: Before the heist by seven years
Five days before the heist, in blue
Violet: The heist occurred 24 years ago.
3 weeks prior to the theft, in orange
Red: the day following the heist
Pink: six months following the robbery
White: The heist’s day
The following order can be used to keep chronology if you want to go one step further and not end the series with the last episode:
Green: 7 years before the theft Yellow: 6 weeks before the heist Orange: 3 weeks before the heist Blue: 5 days before the heist White: 24 years prior to the crime Red: The morning following the heist Pink: Six months after the heist
“Moving around and seeing various orders allows you to get a distinct perspective on the characters. A certain number of questions will be raised in one episode and addressed in a subsequent one. Similar to this, you might find solutions in an episode you’re watching that you weren’t even aware were answers until you saw the question in another episode, Eric Garcia continued.
What is the Best Order to Watch Kaleidoscope?
