Kaleidoscope

If you like heist films this is worth watching



Spanning 24 years, Jigsaw centers around the largest heist ever attempted, and the vengeance, scheming, loyalties, and betrayals that surround it. It's loosely inspired by the real-life story where seventy billion dollars in bonds went missing in downtown Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy.

Kaleidoscope consists of eight episodes which can be watched in any order; the introduction "Black" explains the concept of the show, while the episode "White" is intended to always be the series finale.

With Giancarlo Esposito, Executive producer Ridley Scott among others

Recommended order:

Violet
Green
Yellow
Orange
Blue
White
Red
Pink

i watched it as it came up, but i liked how the timelines worked. seems like jumpy timelines are common these days and sometimes it bugs me. but this seemed to make it flow.

But the first episode about tough times in prison just didn't catch my attention. I quit the first episode after 15 minutes.

I like heist movies but this one just couldn't keep my attention.

I liked that the episodes were not linear. Other than Rufus Sewell, I had never seen any of these actors before. They were all quite good. Especially liked Bob!

I didn't think I'd like it. It was so fast paced and disjointed it was hard to follow what was going on. But I'm on the fourth episode and am enjoying it. It's taking it's time with the backstories. Looking forward to the rest of the show.
