Netflix viewers are raving about the new heist drama Kaleidoscope, which allows viewers to choose the order in which they watch the episodes.
The thrilling series, which released on the streaming platform on New Year’s Day, follows a master thief, played by Breaking Bad’s Giancarlo Esposito, and his crew as they attempt a lavish $7 billion heist.
However, the eight episodes of the drama were not released in chronological order – instead, viewers are encouraged to watch in any order, with the exception of the final eighth episode.
Many viewers have shared their suggested order online, with some revealing how to watch the program chronologically, while others recommending a different order.
Netflix viewers are raving about the new heist drama Kaleidoscope, which allows viewers to choose the order in which they watch the episodes
The series, which some viewers have already watched despite only releasing on Sunday, was created by Matchstick Men writer Eric Garcia.
It stars Giancarlo as Leop Pap, who leads a team of thieves through a complicated heist.
Each of the eight episodes is named after a color, with “Green”, “Yellow”, “Orange”, “Blue”, “Purple”, “Red”, “Pink” and “White”.
But seven of the eight episodes can be watched in any order, allowing viewers to “choose their own adventure,” with only White set as the series finale.
While each episode of the drama can be watched in any order, Netflix is proposing keeping the final episode, White, as the series finale. A viewer shared her suggested viewing order
The drama in the series unfolds over a 25-year period, with one episode set 24 years before the heist while another takes place six months after.
Viewers shared their viewing order online, with one writing: “Kaleidoscope episodes in chronological order are: episode four, Violet; episode two, green; Episode Five, Orange; episode one, yellow; episode three; Blue; episode six; Red; episode seven; Pink; Episode eight, White.’
She went on to explain that the first three episodes of her sequence would take place in the years leading up to the raid, while the fourth is in the final weeks of preparation.
She added that the fifth proposal took place five days before, while the next two episodes took place after the event.
Other viewers were quick to share their suggested orders on social media, with some calling the concept “really interesting.”
Meanwhile, the final episode, White, is the heist itself.
One added: “Just watched #KALEIDOSCOPE on Netflix. It’s cool. Clever writing.
“I did it in chronological order, but left the ‘White’ episode until the end, which is the best way to watch it. Nice twist.’
However, others have suggested that chronological is not the best way to view the drama series.
One person said: “My order was yellow, purple, blue, green, red, orange, white, pink and it was so good. I honestly think that’s the best order.”
Meanwhile, another user shared a number of different orders to watch it in, saying he “hopes it would help potential viewers”.
He ignored the advice to keep the White episode as the finale and suggested watching it in random order
Meanwhile, he also shared suggestions as to whether viewers would be interested in the show’s “mystery” or “building history” (left and right).
Another of his suggestions advised viewers on an order in which to watch if they’re “big on introductions and conclusions.”
Another wrote: “I wanted to see red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple but pink is killing me. I’m having a bad day now.’
One commented: ‘My Netflix order for #KALEIDOSCOPE is Black, Green, Yellow, Blue, Purple, Orange, Red, Pink and White, but I’ll go my own way and start with red. See you on the other side.’
A fourth added: “Green, yellow, purple, orange, blue, red, pink and finally white seems to be the best order for this show.”
Meanwhile, another Twitter user shared a number of different suggestions to watch the series.
The suspenseful series, which released on the streaming platform on New Year’s Day, follows a master thief and his crew as they attempt a lavish $7 billion heist (pictured Giancarlo Esposito as Leo Pap).
He wrote: “If you’re planning on watching Order Less #KALEIDOSCOPE on Netflix, I hope this helps! But it was also fun to see how the Netflix gods wanted me to watch it.
His suggestions included the best order to watch in if you want to “build a story,” a “mystery” order, and a “if you like introductions and conclusions” order.
He also shared a list of suggestions “as he would have liked to have seen it.”
Giancarlo suggested that the unique viewing orders would encourage viewers to watch the series again.

He told the New York Post, “Everyone will hopefully have a different take on the characters and the storyline.
“The show really thrives on the conversations between people and the second viewing if you watch it in a different order.”
In an interview with TV Line, lead actor Giancarlo said the show has come at a busy time in his career.
He said: “Well it’s as good as it gets, as busy as it gets, but I have to say I’m on a creative wave.
Meanwhile, British actor Rufus Sewell stars as Roger Salas on the show
“I mean, I know for you and for the audience they say, ‘Man, this guy doesn’t stop working,’ but I’ve had the opportunity to take part in quality projects that I couldn’t say no to.
“Everything I read, everything I do has filled me with passion, especially Kaleidoscope. I said, “Wow, I see the challenges, I see the creative elements that will allow me to soar.”
