StarringGiancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell,Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, Niousha Noor, Jordan Mendoza, Soojeong Son and Hemky Madera, the show follows a group of thieves who attempt an epic heist worth $7 billion.
While the plot alone is intriguing, it’sthe show’s unique formatthat really has viewers tuning in as Netflix encourages people to watch the episodes in whatever order they see fit.
Per the streamer, the show “takes a non-linear approach to storytelling, building intrigue and suspense uniquely, with Netflix members each having a different immersive viewing experience.”
“All viewers will eventually see all episodes, but the order in which they watch the episodes will affect their viewpoint on the story, the characters, and the questions and answers at the heart of the heist,” the statement from Netflix continues.
While the episode “White” is meant to serve as the show’s finale, there are numerous different ways to tune in.
“When you watchKaleidoscope, all the information is there to be able to connect the dots and know the story,“executive producer Russell Fine told Tudum.com, with creator/showrunner Eric Garcia, adding, the finale is “almost like a skeleton key.”
