The first big Netflix show of 2023 is here
The eighth and final episode of the show is titled 'White', and it takes place on the day of a huge bank heist, which is very loosely based on the true story of billions of bonds that mysteriously went missing during Hurricane Sandy.
Before that, depending on the order you've received, you'll flit back and forth from 24 years before the heist, to six months afterwards, with the interactions, characters and events all said toWhile we can certainly see how that might be the case, unfortunately at its core we've got a pretty run-of-the-mill revenge-heist plot. It's aiming for Ocean's 11, but we get Ocean's 6... 6 1/2 if we're feeling generous.
Each episode does contain its own little centrepiece to hold our attention, be it a smaller heist , a shoot-out, a double-cross, a prison break, what have you. It never actually becomes boring, but it also never really breaks through to become interesting in its own right, beyond the way it is being presented.
So you've got a mediocre heist thriller that is essentially being played on shuffle, suffering from some obvious budget constraints - the big bank heist everything is building towards looks like it is taking place on the set of a game show - but buoyed by some very decent performances.All eight episodes of Kaleidoscope arrive on Netflix on Sunday, 1 January.
