The story of Kaleidoscope is loosely inspired by real-life events surrounding Hurricane Sandy when $70 billion in bonds went missing from downtown Manhattan.
A group of butterflies is called a Kaleidoscope. Each episode features a butterfly or makes mention of them.
This series is non-linear, which means that no matter in which order the episodes are watched, the entire story still makes sense.
According to the creators, due to the nonlinear storytelling structure, the show can be watched in any order with only one rule: that the episode "White" has to be watched last, as the season finale.
The order of episodes for this non-linear series is randomized for each Netflix subscriber. The order of episodes here isn't intended to be 'canonical' and instead is simply the chronological order of the narrative.
