Kaleidoskop

The gimmick of being able to watch the show in any order is fine on paper, but what does it actually accomplish? You're not going to watch it more than once and who really cares what order someone else watches the show in.

I don't mind non-linear storytelling and the show was perfectly watchable in the order I got it, but all in all there is very little payoff. I also figured out the twist quite early, because it's pretty obvious if you watch a specific episode early on so when I got the actual heist episode as the last one there was no surprise and it was pretty lackluster. Think about how Oceans Eleven would feel if the actual heist wasn't even interesting.

The cast does a decent job even though everyone is fairly one dimensional.

Overall it wasn't a terrible show, but you're not missing a whole lot if you decide to skip it.

So, there was a lot of potential in the script, but a couple of things was a big letdown.

The story could easily have been told in 4 * 45 min episodes. The amount of fillers was annoying.

The plot is in many aspect not believeable, there are so many strange plot twists, and those are like... "What are they doing, have they lost it? " Even the episode that contains the money shot is to be honest rather bad... A heist story is easy to tell, and we as an audience do want the story to be at least party believeable, but nope, this is not the show that worth watching.

There are so many other heist movies out there.

The main draw for this show is that you can watch any episode in any order. Although, the majority consensus is to watch the WHITE episode last as it provides all the answers.

Now, the way this is written is to have episodes without cliff hangers. Meaning you get a snapshot of the story, you have questions and some of them get answered by another episode.

In fact, you should credit this for giving it's viewers some intelligence.

It's watchable, interesting and always revealing.

I did figure it out before the WHITE episode (well most of it except I got the motivation wrong).

Look it's not like you couldn't episode shuffle with other competent shows. Where action had already taken place, you get an idea of what happened then you watch the actual episode where all the action took place and go oh I get it.

As heist movies go, it's ok. As novel storytelling ideas go, it's ok.

As a full 8 episode season goes, yes I would say it's fun, enjoyable and worth watching. It's always engaging which is the key to keeping the audience on your side.

A good binge worthy show.

It looked liek a fun idea and i was super excited to start the show. Untill Netflix decided do start my experience with Episode Black 0:51 seconds intro folowed by PINK ... Pink from all episodes , which is 6 months after the heist and contains a lot of references to all the other episodes and conclusions. The idea is great on paper but in reality it ruiend the most important part of the show for me the ending from the start. I don care how many puzzle parts or twist the story will have if i see them all resolved before i even know the caracters and their development. I will not watch another episode.

Yes it could have been better. It's not perfect, but really what is. I watched over two nights in the order Netflix gave it me and I thought it was fine. If you need to watch it in chronological order, you'd missed the point. And those who say bad script, bad acting, bad direction blah blah. Tell you what, why not get off your couch and do better. Write something great, pitch it to Netflix. That's the problem with most couch critics, they love to trash everything, yet don't have an ounce of creative ability. Some shows deserve a bashing, because there is some absolute trash being made, but this isn't one of them. In my opinion...of course.
