Kaleidoscope (2023)
8/10
A surprisingly good heist-er from Netflix
24 January 2023
"Kaleidoscope" (single season, 8 eps, 50-mins, Netflix) is a solid, based on true story mega-heist ($7B in bonds) series that's offered to viewers in an almost random order. The span of episodes ranges from 24 yrs before the heist to 6-months after it. I did not opt for the random order which likely increased my enjoyment 10-fold compared to others you'll notice. I watched in chrono order: Black (only 1-min long), Violet, Green, Yellow, Orange, Blue, White, Red, and Pink. The tale is a good mix of Ocean-11-esque heist, revenge, betrayal, regret, family ties, FBI priorities, etc. There's a lot there to keep you interested. Production values are solid as was the casting/acting and direction. Definitely one of the better series you'll find from Netflix.
