Taking care of beesness: Leo (Giancarlo Esposito) is swarmed in the White episode, the show’s preferred finale. And the order of the middle episodes can vary even when you do start at Yellow and end with White. But while Yellow seems to be the most common starting point and White the desired finale, some users have reported being served a different starter and others have reported watching a different episode last, without suffering any untoward shock. Netflix does appear to have a default order, which is Yellow, Green, Blue, Orange, Violet, Red, Pink, White (aka YGBOVRPW). But it’s not like they’re going to come to your house and force you to do it.īut is there a best order in which you should watch it? This is tricky. Wait, are you saying that it’s a show without an actual ending? Well, Netflix does urge you to watch the White episode last(white being what you end up with when all the colours of the rainbow are blended). And when you can watch in any order, who’s to know where the end really is anyway. The thing is with a story like this, you never know who’s zooming who until the end. The gang’s all here: (L to R) Jordan Mendoza as RJ, Peter Mark Kendall as Stan, Giancarlo Esposito as Leo, Jai Courtney as Bob, Rosaline Elbay as Judy and Paz Vega as Ava in the Yellow episode. The sequence doesn’t change what happens, but it does alter the significance of certain moments, and your understanding of what is happening as it happens. Kaleidoscope isn’t quite the same sort of choose-your-own-adventure proposition, but by letting viewers select the order in which they watch its eight episodes it does allow for the narrative to unfold in different ways. The Bandersnatch episode of Black Mirroris perhaps the best known, and Choose Love, a multiple-choice rom-com from Australian director Stuart McDonald ( A Perfect Pairing), is due sometime this year. The streamer has close to two dozen programs in that space, and while most are aimed at younger viewers, a few are clearly built for adults. Loosely speaking, it sits within a small but growing genre of content on Netflix – interactive storytelling. Netflix claims the first seven episodes are served to viewers “in a different order … but everyone will arrive at the same finale to witness the heist go down”. Kaleidoscope is a crime thriller told in eight episodes, each named (and, to a degree, styled) after a different colour. If I could go back and watch in a different order, I'd bump up Red (but leave Pink where it is) and flip Yellow and Green, as I think Yellow would be the strongest episode to start.Can we just start at the beginning? That’s not exactly in the spirit of things, but why not. Watching this show chronologically feels like missing the point. In that section, I could feel my attention waning somewhat. For me, this approach got off to a strong start, but having Orange and Blue, and then Red and Pink meant two sets of episodes in chronological order, with relatively small time jumps in between. Oddly enough, my best friend's Netflix account gave her this exact order. Each episode truly is a puzzle piece rather than a specific sequence.- ames JanuHow did you watch it, person writing this article?
