This Week’s Highlight

Kaleidoscope

Eric Garcia’s new series Kaleidoscope is eight episodes that span 25 years as its crew of thieves plan the ultimate heist. The twist, though, is Netflix claiming you can watch this series in almost any order. Weird, sure. It’s not exactly interactive like Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, but Kaleidoscope is one of Netflix’s latest attempts to immerse you into a series’ interactive storytelling. Will we care? Depends how badly you need a show to binge after Emily in Paris. (Streaming January 1.)
