Starting off the new year strong, Netflix has opened 2023 with the release of “Kaleidoscope”. A heist thriller with a unique twist, the eight episode limited series can be viewed in any order with the one that the viewer chooses revealing information and unraveling the plot so that the viewing experience might be drastically different from other people’s. 

Quickly rising to be the streaming platform’s number one show, and maintaining that spot from its day of release even until the time of this writing, the gimmick is central to the success of the series when combined with the consistent writing and masterful performance of Giancarlo Esposito in the lead role. It’s not unexpected for the series to be the hit that it is with an actor like Esposito at the helm of the performance aspect, being Emmy-nominated and known for portraying some of television’s most chilling characters, but the gimmick itself only adds to the show.
