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

arcticbabe2006 @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 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 08/13/2024 Poor man's Oceans Eleven. Unimaginative. See more Genaro R 07/25/2024 No me atrapo del todo, lástima porque me encanta como actua Giancarlo Esposito. See more Paul J 06/28/2024 Never seen such a poor version of a man with Parkinson s disease. The series is ik, this part of it is really bad. See more Ana D 06/26/2024 It's ok, but i didn't understand some parts. See more Read all reviews
