'Kaleidoscope' is the first Netflix series that can be watched in any order here's the best episode to start with

Each episode of "Kaleidoscope" is set at a certain time in relation to the heist whether that is during the heist, before it, or after it.

If you want to understand the motivations for the heist before it occurs, the best episodes to start with are "Violet," which is set 24 years before the heist, and "Green," which is set seven years before the heist.

Both episodes set up the motivations for the main character and mastermind of the eventual heist Leo Pap (Giancarlo Esposito). "Violet" follows Leo's life in the '90s as he deals with racism in the US and tries to leave behind his life of crime. We learn about his motivations for the heist itself (because a heist is always personal).

The episode "Green" follows Leo during his prison days and his brilliant plan of escape.

While every episode has great character development, these two episodes are the most character-focused and least action-heavy of the story, making it a good entry point into the series. After this, you can then follow the story chronologically.

"Red" is another good way to start the series if you love thriller mysteries. Similar to Quentin Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs," this episode is set after the heist as the crew tries to piece together the night before using their different perspectives. None of them trust each other and it seems clear that there are at least one or two backstabbers in the group.

It's intense, it leaves so many puzzles to be solved, and it'll force audiences to want to watch the rest of the series to work out how all the details make sense leading up to this moment.

Following this, you can either jump to the heist-planning episodes or go to the aforementioned backstory episodes "Violet" and "Green."

"Yellow" is the first episode that is shown when you click on the series and it's an adequate place to start. It's essentially an episode-long heist team-up montage where Leo starts to form his crew.

There's Stan Loomis (Peter Mark Kendall), a smuggler who can get the materials they need for the heist. He's joined by Ava Mercer (Paz Vega), a resourceful woman with an armory of guns. There's explosives expert Judy Goodwin (Rosaline Elbay) and her husband Bob Goodwin (Jai Courtney), the safe-cracker. Finally, there is RJ Acosta (Jordan Mendoza), the crew's driver and technology expert.

The heist plan is to steal bonds (physical papers that represent the ownership of debt owed by a company or government) that belong to three of the most notorious criminals in the world from one of the most impenetrable safes in New York.

Frankly, this episode isn't the most exciting place to start, nor does it set up many of the characters' motivations for the heist. However, it does have one cool twist at the end which is spoiled if you watch any of the other episodes.

"Orange" and "Blue" are mid-way into the planning for the heist making them weird places to start the story. While they do have great character-building and action scenes, nothing about the episodes really feels like an introduction to the story.

"Orange" is set three weeks before the heist as the crew is being followed by the FBI. This episode sets up Niousha Noor's character Nazan Abassi pretty well as the law enforcement officer trying to hunt the crew down, similar to Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) in "Now You See Me," or Raquel Murillo (Itziar Ituño) in "La Casa De Papel" ("Money Heist").

Meanwhile, "Blue" is set five days before the heist as the crew put in their finishing touches. However, the episode is centered on the owner of the safe, Roger Salas (Rufus Sewell), who starts to get paranoid about the safety of his company.

Both episodes do set up the holes within the crew's awkward team-up pretty well but feel like a confusing way to enter the series.

The other six episodes can be watched in any order but "Pink" followed by "White" should be the final two to watch in the show to get the full experience of the series.

While "White" is intended to be the epic finale, showing how the heist went down, "Pink" which is set six months after the heist, also makes crucial references to the other episodes.
