Giving up alcohol when one is addicted is never about a single decision. It requires an ongoing effort while will affect numerous aspects of future life. It also – though this is less often talked about – affects how one processes one’s past life. An unexpected encounter at an AA meeting forces Liv (Olivia Levine) to take on past and future together at a very vulnerable time.
Liv is hesitant to go to the meeting at all. She’s aware of the faith-based framework of Alcoholics Anonymous and its history of being less than inclusive, so it takes some time for her partner Marty (Rosaline Elbay) to persuade her that things have changed and she will be welcome there as a queer woman. Realising that the two of them are not the only ones there gives her confidence a big boost. She does recognise that her drinking is out of control,...

Move over, Bandersnatch, Netflix has a new choose-your-own-adventure show out for viewers. Kaleidoscope, a new series that premiered January 1, follows an expert crew as they try to pull off a 7 billion robbery (and like most good heist stories, possibly right some family wrongs along the way). Netflix created the show for a non-linear experience, which encourages viewers to watch the episodes leading up to the season finale in different orders.

Fans of Netflix’s new series Kaleidoscope are warning prospective viewers of one thing before they begin watching the series.
Netflix released the heist thriller series on New Year’s Day (1 January), with some fans already bingeing all eight episodes.
The series is created by Matchstick Men author Eric Garcia and follows a team of thieves who work together to pull off an elaborate heist worth 7bn (£5.8m).
The team of thieves is led by Leop Pap (played by Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito), and the action takes place over a period of 25 years.
What makes Kaleidoscope so unique is that the series has been designed so that seven of the eight episodes can be watched in any order and still make narrative sense. This allows viewers a “build your own adventure” viewing experience.

So much can be ascertained about a show from its colour palette. Look at how the snowy whiteouts of Nordic noir, or the persimmon plains of the American West, use colour to orient the viewer. This is where you are. But in Netflix’s new eight-part robbery romp, Kaleidoscope, colour throws viewer expectations into a phantasmagorical blender. From the greens of prison escapes to the yellows of diamond heists, the violets of memory to the reds of betrayal, the whole Dulux paint chart is on dazzling display.
Giancarlo Esposito (of Breaking Bad fame) is Leo Pap, a preternaturally composed career criminal on – you guessed it – one last job. He’s a sort of budget Danny Ocean, and he puts together for the raid a knock-off 11: smuggler Stan (Peter Mark Kendall), chemist Judy (Rosaline Elbay), armourer Ava (Paz Vega), safe-cracker Bob (Jai Courtney), and driver Rj (Jordan Mendoza).

The heist genre is always interesting because, despite its typically sleek, stylized nature, it usually brings a sense of comfort to the viewer. A movie like the blue-collar-tinged “Logan Lucky,” for example, wouldn’t be described as sleek — and perhaps not the same type of “aspirational” presentation of the criminal lifestyle that something like Soderbergh’s “Ocean’s” franchise is all about — but at the same time, it’s comforting for the same reasons as other heist media are. Because when it comes to the heist genre, the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. When everything comes together, without fail, even the most rudimentary heist films and shows are still successes; because seeing the full picture and re-contextualizing everything is always satisfying. And Netflix’s new series “Kaleidoscope” fits that bill, but with a twist.

Netflix subscribers are facing a dilemma when watching the new release, Kaleidoscope.
Kaleidoscope arrives on Netflix on Sunday (1 January) with its unusual premise prompting raised eyebrows and questions from many viewers.
The crime drama – created by Matchstick Men author Eric Garcia – takes place over 25 years. It follows a group of masterful thieves, led by Breaking Bad star Giancarlo Esposito, who work together to pull off an elaborate heist.
What has intrigued viewers, however, is the fact that the series has been designed so that viewers can watch seven of the available eight episodes in any order
This means that every episode, named after different colours, except the finale – titled “White” – can be watched in any sequence and the narrative will still make sense.

Kaleidoscope is a series created by Eric Garcia starring Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell and Jai Courtney.
Kaleidoscope is a story that can observed from different points of view, angles and situations. Each episode offer one view point and has its corresponding color: with flashbacks, pieces of the story and twists and turns in this kaleidoscopic puzzle, it offers us a bit of everything to create a good thriller.
About the Series
Note though, that it is not as novel as it appears to be.
Entertaining, humorous and with a good tempo. It has all the “hooks” to save us from the global hangover this New Year.
Kaleidoscope (2023)
It is a good series, but we are under the impression that it aimed high, shot and just barely made the mark, without being an “electrifying” viewing experience.
Using the classic heist premise, it doe shave good photography, a solid ensemble cast that deliver good performances.

A new year is nearly upon us. Despite a 2022 chock-full of blockbuster movies and groundbreaking television, it is usually tough to have high expectations for the start of the new year. Historically, January has been the month that studios dump their unwanted projects to the masses to disappointing box office results. But the rise of streaming services has allowed for a healthier, more consistent dose of quality television and cinema throughout the year, from start to finish. And 2023 should be no different, especially judging by the upcoming titles coming to Netflix this January.
Netflix will be following up a jam-packed December with an almost equally-exciting lineup. In January, a slate of fan-favorite films will be making their way onto the streaming platform, while several new original projects look to impress audiences for the first time. If you want to revisit "Top Gun" or watch "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra" for whatever reason,...

The payoff? 7 billion, if the team can successfully crack open the world’s most secure vault.
Netflix is hoping to lure in true crime fans and anyone with a knack for solving mysteries by dishing up the fun “watch in any order” twist. Only “White: The Heist” needs to be watched last. Otherwise, it’s up to each individual viewer to decide where to begin.

"She basically robs herself." Netflix has revealed the main official trailer for an interactive streaming series arriving in early 2023 called Kaleidoscope. Also known as Jigsaw, this "non-linear" anthology series is similar to Black Mirror's "Bandersnatch" episode. It takes a non-linear approach, building intrigue and suspense uniquely, with Netflix viewers each having a different experience. It's centered around the largest heist ever attempted (in NYC), and the vengeance and betrayals that surround it. Some wil start out with certain episodes ("Yellow" or "Green"), then move deeper into their own personal viewing order until the epic "White: The Heist" finale. Everyone will eventually see all episodes, but the order in which they watch the episodes will affect their viewpoint on the story, the characters, and the questions/answers at the heart of the heist.

Netflix has never been shy about putting experimental TV on its platform, as seen with interactive specials like “Bandersnatch.” Now, the streamer is playing with the medium’s episodic format with “Kaleidoscope,” a new anthology series set to premiere New Year’s Day.
“Kaleidoscope” is loosely inspired by a real-life story of 70 billion in bonds gone missing in Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy, focusing on a group of thieves as they undergo a multi-decade-long plan to pull off the perfect heist on a seemingly unbreakable vault. The first season features eight episodes, with each installment bouncing around a 24-year timeline from when the crew’s preparations began to six months after the heist day itself.

A new Netflix anthology is on the way and it's likely to put a spin on your typical water cooler discussions. "Kaleidoscope" is certainly the kind of show you'll want to unpack with your friends: it's got high stakes, lots of intrigue, a mystery, and action-packed criminal hijinks. There's just one problem. Should you discuss the miniseries with someone before either of you has finished, you'll quickly realize that something is off: neither of you will have seen the same episodes.
"Kaleidoscope" isn't your average Netflix series — it's an immersive experience. Unlike most shows, this series was designed to be watched in any possible order. In fact, Netflix itself will be scrambling the episodes so that each viewer watches the series unfold in a different way.

Formerly known as Jigsaw, this "non-linear" anthology series is similar to Netflix's clever interactive "Bandersnatch" episode of Black Mirror. This one focuses on the largest heist ever attempted, and the vengeance and betrayals that surround it. Inspired by the story of money going missing during Hurricane Sandy in NYC. The compelling crime series takes a non-linear approach, building intrigue and suspense uniquely, with Netflix viewers each having a different experience. Some may start out with certain episodes (like "Yellow" or "Green"), then move deeper into their own personal viewing order with options until the epic "White: The Heist" finale.

Viewers are given the opportunity to choose which order they view the episodes in with Netflix’s Kaleidoscope, loosely inspired by true events that might have occurred during Hurricane Sandy. In the just-released behind-the-scenes video, series creator/showrunner Eric Garcia and his cast explain the setup and the beauty of audience members being able to determine which order they watch the crime drama unfold.
Series star Giancarlo Esposito believes audiences will want to rewatch the episodes to suss out all the clues they might have missed. “Every episode had multiple connections to every other episode,” says showrunner Garcia.
In addition to Esposito, the ensemble includes Rufus Sewell, Paz Vega, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Niousha Noor, and Jai Courtney.

Guarded by the world’s most powerful corporate security team, and with law enforcement on the case, every episode reveals a piece of an elaborate puzzle of corruption, greed, vengeance, scheming, loyalties and betrayals.

Spoiler Alert: Do not read if you haven’t watched “Ramy” Season 3.
Ramy is suffering an identity crisis.
The character, that is. “Ramy” the show, as well as its creator and star Ramy Youssef, couldn’t be in a more confident place creatively. After Season 2 finale “You Are Naked in Front of Your Sheikh” saw Ramy confess to Zainab (MaameYaa Boafo) on their wedding night that he’d cheated on her with his own cousin (Rosaline Elbay) the night before, Season 3 begins with a full embrace of the dirtbag Ramy has become. He’s left his job with his uncle Naseem to start his own competing business in New York’s diamond district, and having lost the religious guidance of Zainab’s father, Sheikh Ali Malik (Mahershala Ali), he is nothing outside of his work. He’s rich now, but nearly friendless, especially neglecting his longtime best friend Steve (Steve Way...

After pulling off a victory at the Golden Globes for Best TV Comedy Actor, Ramy Youssef is now seeking to replicate the win at the Emmys. He’s earned two two nominations: one for playing Ramy Hassan on his eponymous Hulu series and one for Best Comedy Directing. For his acting submission, Youssef has chosen “Ramy‘s” Season 2 finale, “You Are Naked in Front of Your Sheikh.”
The episode opens with a flashback to Ramy and his cousin Amani (Rosaline Elbay) meeting up for a hookup at a hotel in Egypt. The hotel staff harasses them, believing they are an unmarried couple, but they back off after Amani claims that she and Ramy are siblings. Amani then says she’s tired of sneaking around and wants to tell their family about their relationship so they can get engaged. Ramy doesn’t want to move the relationship forward, which makes Amani break it off.

As more people spend their twenties developing into who they want to become rather than settling down and committing to their current identity, more TV shows are focusing on that extended maturation period between teenage folly and adult responsibilities. From “Girls” to “Superstore,” and “You’re the Worst” to “New Girl,” plenty of comedies have mined the awkward and exciting time when personal decisions come with extra pressure, whether it’s from parents impatient to see children follow in their footsteps, the imposing demands of societal standards, or an internal desire to just hurry up and figure out your life already.
Viewers wouldn’t be blamed for shouting that at select 20-something TV characters, given how many shows have tackled this modern day “arrested development” (and how many have done it badly). But in its first season, “Ramy” found multiple ways to freshen things up. Framing the eponymous character’s quest...

This Ramy review contains no spoilers and is based on all 10 episodes.
When Hulu’s Ramy debuted in 2019, it won the audience award at SXSW for episodic premieres, netted creator/writer/star Ramy Youssef a Golden Globe for Best Actor in Television Series – Musical or Comedy, and garnered widespread critical acclaim. Still, while onstage accepting his award, Youssef joked “I know you guys haven’t seen my show.” So how do you get audiences to tune in to an autofiction about a first generation Egyptian-American caught between living a millennial lifestyle while maintaining his Muslim beliefs? Simple: you add Academy Award-winner and fellow American Muslim Mahershala Ali.
With added star power and a darker tone, Ramy Season 2 continues to offer a fresh perspective on tried and true sitcom beats while also focusing deeper on spirituality and how the pursuit of spirituality can sometimes be a selfish endeavor. The season picks...

Throughout the first 10 episodes of Hulu’s “Ramy,” our lead Ramy Hassan’s love life is pulled in two different directions: either he settles down with a Muslim girl at the wishes of his parents, or he goes out-of-the-box and just does what feels right. In the season finale, Hassan somehow manages to do both, locking lips with someone he really connected with in Egypt who’s also Muslim.
Except– wait — it’s his cousin.
“The relationship my character finds in Cairo is definitely an unconventional one,” “Ramy” co-creator and star Ramy Youssef tells TheWrap of the finale. “It’s going to be really exciting to unravel the complications that Ramy has created for himself in season two.“
