There’s a lot that’s familiar about Netflix’s new limited series Kaleidoscope. It’s the story of a heist, and as such, it comes with many of the beats you might expect: old grudges, team assembly, smaller missions that set up for the big one. But there’s one key way Kaleidoscope differs from similar shows you might’ve seen. You can watch the episodes in any order. <\/p>\n

The series dropped Jan. 1 and is the No. 1 TV show on Netflix right now. Without giving too much away, Giancarlo Esposito plays Ray Vernon (aka Leo Pap), the ringleader of a group plotting a multibillion-dollar job while settling an old score. Every episode tells a chunk of the story, focusing on Vernon’s motivations, or the planning of the heist, or what unfolds in the aftermath. The segments come in whichever random order Netflix decides to deliver them to you (with the exception of the actual heist serving as the final episode). <\/p>\n

This isn’t the first time Netflix has experimented with nonlinear storytelling. in 2018, Black Mirror: Bandersnatch<\/span> offered a choose-your-own-adventure take on a movie about a computer programmer. The following year, viewers got to make decisions for adventurer Bear Grylls<\/span> in You vs. wild.<\/p>\n

Kaleidoscope’s episodes are named for different colors, no doubt a nod to the series’ name, but also a way to easily track what order you’re watching and compare with friends. You aren’t obligated to watch the way Netflix suggests. Here’s what you need to know about how to watch Kaleidoscope. <\/p>\n

And if you’ve powered through and need some help sorting out what happened, here’s the ending explained<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Do I need to pick an order?<\/h2>\n

Not necessarily. If you hit play on the show, you’ll see a quick primer on how it works, and then launch straight into the episodes. They can come in any order, with the exception of White, which is the heist itself, and is structured to be the series finale. That said, if you want to pick an order for yourself, you can. <\/p>\n

How do I watch it chronologically?<\/h2>\n

In the spirit of the show, I’m going to skimp on episode descriptions as not to spoil anything. If you decide to watch Kaleidoscope chronologically, the episode order goes like this, starting with a young Vernon 24 years before the heist: <\/p>\n
