"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 ("Blue" or "Violet" or "Orange," then "Red" or "Pink") 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. It stars Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Peter Mark Kendall, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, Niousha Noor, Jordan Mendoza, Soojeong Son, and Hemky Madera. This looks like some good heist fun, I'm down.

Here's the official trailer for Netflix's experimental series Kaleidoscope, direct from YouTube:

Spanning 25 years, Kaleidoscope (previously titled Jigsaw) is an all-new anthology series following a crew of masterful thieves and their attempt to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault for the biggest payday in history. 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. How did the crew of thieves plan it? Who gets away with it? Who can be trusted? Loosely inspired by the real-life story where seventy billion dollars in bonds went missing in downtown Manhattan, NYC, during Hurricane Sandy (in 2012), Kaleidoscope consists of eight episodes spanning from 24 years before the heist to 6 months after.
