Netflix decided to open the New Year with one of its most uniquely structured programs in years: the Giancarlo Esposito-starring vehicle, Kaleidoscope. The dramatic thriller tells the story of a rag-tag group of criminals trying to pull off one of the biggest heists in modern history.
The novelty of the series lies in the episode-formatting gimmick that creator Eric Garcia employs to give each viewer a different perspective on the events in the timeline leading up to and after the heist: the eight episode order is random for all Netflix accounts. No matter what order you watch the series in, however, the final hour always ends on the “White” episode, which is the actual heist taking place.
The decision to plot the show this way means some people might be a little more confused than usual about what happens to all of the characters. We’re here to break...

So much can be ascertained about a show from its colour palette. Look at how the snowy whiteouts of Nordic noir, or the persimmon plains of the American West, use colour to orient the viewer. This is where you are. But in Netflix’s new eight-part robbery romp, Kaleidoscope, colour throws viewer expectations into a phantasmagorical blender. From the greens of prison escapes to the yellows of diamond heists, the violets of memory to the reds of betrayal, the whole Dulux paint chart is on dazzling display.
Giancarlo Esposito (of Breaking Bad fame) is Leo Pap, a preternaturally composed career criminal on – you guessed it – one last job. He’s a sort of budget Danny Ocean, and he puts together for the raid a knock-off 11: smuggler Stan (Peter Mark Kendall), chemist Judy (Rosaline Elbay), armourer Ava (Paz Vega), safe-cracker Bob (Jai Courtney), and driver Rj (Jordan Mendoza). And then...

The heist genre is always interesting because, despite its typically sleek, stylized nature, it usually brings a sense of comfort to the viewer. A movie like the blue-collar-tinged “Logan Lucky,” for example, wouldn’t be described as sleek — and perhaps not the same type of “aspirational” presentation of the criminal lifestyle that something like Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s” franchise is all about — but at the same time, it’s comforting for the same reasons as other heist media are. Because when it comes to the heist genre, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When everything comes together, without fail, even the most rudimentary heist films and shows are still successes; because seeing the full picture and re-contextualizing everything is always satisfying. And Netflix’s new series “Kaleidoscope” fits that bill, but with a twist.

Kaleidoscope is a series created by Eric Garcia starring Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell and Jai Courtney.
Kaleidoscope is a story that can observed from different points of view, angles and situations. Each episode offer one view point and has its corresponding color: with flashbacks, pieces of the story and twists and turns in this kaleidoscopic puzzle, it offers us a bit of everything to create a good thriller.
About the Series
Note though, that it is not as novel as it appears to be.
Entertaining, humorous and with a good tempo. It has all the “hooks” to save us from the global hangover this New Year.
Kaleidoscope (2023)
It is a good series, but we are under the impression that it aimed high, shot and just barely made the mark, without being an “electrifying” viewing experience.
Using the classic heist premise, it doe shave good photography, a solid ensemble cast that deliver good performances.

This heist drama has it all: a motley crew of thieves, revenge, family drama and, best of all, the meticulous planning of a big score to break into an impenetrable vault. It doesn’t hurt that the mind behind it, Leo Pap, is played by Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad), a master of the calm and cunning. The story of Netflix‘s Kaleidoscope unfolds in an unusual way: Viewers can watch each of the first seven episodes, which cover 25 years of scheming, in any order; the finale will always be the actual robbery. “It’s not only a heist; it’s a setup,” Esposito explains. Pap has a vendetta against the vault’s owner, wealthy Roger Salas (Rufus Sewell), who wronged him. But, the actor warns, “Nothing good ever comes behind vengeful thinking and vengeful action.” (He’s played enough ruthless characters to know.) Salas’ protégée Hannah Kim (Tati Gabrielle) is also key.
