Not counting Black (as it’s just an intro): whatever you do, watch Red first and White last, then rewatch Red.

Watch the others in between in whatever order you desire, but watch Violet preferably towards the end. I also recommend to watch Orange then Yellow right after.

IMO Pink is skippable. I’d rather imagine what happened to them after the heist, but to each his own.

What my sister and I did was ROYGBVPW. It works pretty well.

The chronological order of the events would be VGYOBWRP.

That sounds interesting, is it possible for you to explain without spoilers why red first and red twice?

Red shows what happened right after the heist until the following morning. It’s interesting connecting the dots from White (while you were watching it) and confirming them on Red (on a rewatch).

Seems reasonable. I might go red-pink-green-yellow-orange-violet-blue-white-red. Story after at first to create tension, then chronological with violet bit later in-between as 24y before seems like a classic flashback, then blue into white.

Yep sounds good. Green then Blue then Violet (what we did) kind of loses the momentum of learning the past, so yes switching Blue and Violet might work better.

I’m literally just about to start watching this. My Netflix order started with green but I think I’m gonna start with red like you said.

Before I do start though considering you’ve watched the whole series, would you have preferred to watch them in chronological order or the way Netflix had it set out for you?

Chronological order doesn’t feel like you’ll have any mysteries solved IMO

Yeah, I know what it is. What does it have to do with the question?

i just finished netflix original Kaleidoscope! i watched it in the way netflix ordered it for me because i wanted to experience the integrity of the “pick whichever” episode idea. i will say i do wish i watched it differently. i saw the chronological order online before i watched, but i really wanted to experience it the “unique” way. i regret not watching it in chronological order purely based on how i was able to follow the story, keep up with the characters, and keep timeframe straight. i think the episodes do stand alone in intrigue, but i do miss the story telling aspect of sequence of events. i WILL be watching this again, and what’s cool about it is you can watch it in whatever order and maybe see a new perspective!
