What to Know

Critics Consensus

While Kaleidoscope's interactive storytelling offers some flashy novelty, its color-coded story strands are unfortunately all in service to a disappointingly pedestrian plot.

There’s just not enough story or character development here to warrant eight episodes, let alone eight episodes that are juggling a gimmick. Go to Full Review Robert Levin Newsday 01/17/2023

No matter the episode order, "Kaleidoscope" is a lot of fun. Go to Full Review Wenlei Ma News.com.au 01/06/2023
While the format has promise, the idea and the material was a poor match. Maybe someone else can come along and do better with it. Go to Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground 01/26/2023
The scrambled storytelling and Esposito do plenty of heavy lifting, and overtly; thankfully, the latter alone always makes for engaging viewing. Go to Full Review Diego Jemio Clarín 01/23/2023
4/4
Eric García delves into the deeper nature of some of his characters... digging into what are the characters seeking out of the heist. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Brian Grubb Uproxx 01/20/2023
I came away from it thinking that it didn’t matter at all what order I watched the episodes in, and not in the fun puzzle-box way I think they intended. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Heather L @RT27515068 Aug 2 So this show managed a first for me - it was the only heist where I found myself rooting for the anyone BUT the crew carrying out the heist! Rufus Sewell, as always, saves the day acting-wise. Otherwise very ho-hum, unfortunately - because the premise worked... this could have been great. See more Alison B @RT12901704 Apr 17 This was a really fun show with many twists ! Lots of action. Suspense. I really enjoyed this !!! And definitely some heartfelt moments between father and daughter. Brave is in the- Strong is the - ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ See more Ry N @RyGuy Mar 23 Yellow builds the team, Green gives Leo's backstory, Blue sets up the job, Orange plants a mole, Violet holds the grudge, Red points fingers after things go wrong, Pink gets revenge, and White is the heist. It’s too hard to keep up with the timelines, just watch the episodes chronologically. See more arcticbabe2006 T @FunSized76 Jan 21 Decent characters, ok storyline but I was struggling to hold on when the ex dope head FBI chick came along. She’s dreadful. Her acting is just awful. It turned a decent show into B rated back alley junk. 🤷🏼‍♀️ See more Lily K @RT11417529 08/14/2024 Excellent series. Characters and acting superb. Very entertaining. Watch it in chronological order: definitely not the Netflix order. See more Pauline W @Paulwall 08/13/2024 Poor man's Oceans Eleven. Unimaginative. See more Read all reviews
