Netflix’s 'Kaleidoscope': Here is the best order to watch

The popular online streaming platform, Netflix, is here with yet another fascinating series titled “Kaleidoscope”. The Netflix show has managed to grab attention with its unique non-linear viewing experience. You can enjoy any episode in any order of your choice without missing the “high points” of the story. However, finding the right episode order for Kaleidoscope has become a task for the viewers. Therefore, we have tried to explain the correct episode order to watch the Kaleidoscope series.

About Kaleidoscope

Kaleidoscope is a one-of-a-kind heist drama created by author Eric Garcia. The series comprises eight different episodes. The first seven episodes appear for every Netflix account user in a random order. The last episode is titled “White” and is suggested for viewing at the end for the best experience. In this episode, you will get the showcase of the entire heist.

Each episode bears a title associated with a hue/colour which distinctly relates to the main element of that particular episode. The story depicts a long timeframe ranging from twenty-five years before the heist to six months after the heist. Viewers can watch any episode in any order of their preference.


The movie stars Giancarlo Esposito, Tati Gabrielle, and Rufus Sewell in lead roles.

What is the “ideal” order to watch Kaleidoscope?

Ironically, there is no set viewing order for Netflix’s Kaleidoscope and this is what makes it a unique show. If you plan to keep “White” for the last, then you can watch other episodes in 5,040 possible combinations. However, if you want to mix all eight episodes, then you have a whopping 40,320 ways to enjoy Kaleidoscope.

In case, you are willing to watch the seven episodes chronologically, then you can follow the given below sequence:

Violet: 24 Years prior to the Heist
Green: 7 Years prior to the Heist
Yellow: 6 Weeks prior to the Heist
Orange: 3 Weeks prior to the Heist
Blue: 5 Days prior to the Heist
Red: The Morning post the Heist
Pink: 6 Months later
White: The Heist

However, if you want to follow a different pattern, irrespective of the suggestions given by the Kaleidoscope creators, then you can follow the given below order. Remember, that this order will present the story differently to you than it will appear to other viewers.
