Television Kaleidoscope: Netflix Series

[SirAnderson]

Making a big splash right now this, thought it deserves its own thread.


Interesting concept they bringing or not? You can watching it in any order etc. And they recommend just leaving episode White for last

Don't want to spoil too much.

Thanks to @Dan for the recommendation.

I'm 3 episodes in and I took the path of finding out what they best order is for watching it. Rather than just doing it random. Apparently it can get pretty confusing but all comes together when you watch the one they recommend for the end.

So far, I'm enjoying it, other than the terrible attempt at making Gus look younger

I’ve gone random, yellow, green and now watching violet.

I've just been watching it in the order Netflix gives. Though if I had watched in chronological order I could see how the story takes on another dynamic.

Just finished it now.

Really a mess honestly. It was entertaining at time, but really lacking.

For me there are too many holes no matter what order you watch it in.

Plus the amount of things you just have to ignore to keep watching pile up.

Anyway, was a decent past time, but it could have done much better.

Struggled through the first episode, not least because of Giancarlo Esposito who is a rather limited actor.

How many episodes is it?

How many episodes is it?

8.

I watched it:

Yellow, Violet, Orange, Green, Blue, Red, Pink, and then White.

Must say, I'd rather have pink as the last episode.
It kinda spoils watching that before White for me.

Reminds of that Hustle show on the BBC from a few years ago.

Spoiler

kind of disappointed with the ending

Why did the daughter steal the bonds, it seemed like nobody won except the triplets?

According to the Guardian:

“The more I think about it, though, the more I’m convinced that the only way to watch Kaleidoscope is to do it chronologically. If you haven’t seen it yet, please do so in the following order: Violet, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, White, Red, Pink. You’re welcome.”

Thought it was ok but dragged a bit. Watched it in chronological order, except White which I kept to last.
