(L to R) Jordan Mendoza as RJ, Peter Mark Kendall as Stan Loomis, Giancarlo Esposito as Leo Pap, Jai Courtney as Bob Goodwin, Rosaline Elbay as Judy Goodwin, Paz Vega as Ava Mercer in episode “Yellow” of Kaleidoscope. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2022]( Source: Netflix Okay so this one’s not technically a trailer, but [this first-look behind-the-scenes featurette for the new Netflix series “Kaleidoscope”]( has us very intrigued. This new heist show was designed so that anyone can watch any of the episodes in any order they choose, and it’ll all still make sense. Giancarlo Esposito leads the ensemble of characters planning a massive heist, and the episodes are all titled based on when they take place in relation to the heist — one is set 6 weeks before, one is set 24 years before, one is set 6 months after, etc. So when all episodes drop on Jan. 1, everyone will get to choose their own viewing experience.
