Very impressed

Completed it. It was OK as a heist series maybe a 7 out of 10. It would be a 6 on story alone, but the great cast and the final episode make it a 7.

I'm just not sure if everyone watching episodes in a different order adds anything of value, in the end. And without that unique element, its just an above average heist spread over 8 episodes.

I watched the episodes in linear order, and looking back on it I can't think my experience would have been enhanced much by changing the order, except a couple of small reveals and twists.

To be honest I was very very bored by about half-way through the first episode (Blue) that it started me on. Not sure if I'll persist with it or not.

It was okay.

The whole "watch in any order" was just a pointless gimmick.

We're about half way through, quite enjoying it.

I'm 3 episodes in, quite enjoying it. Didn't really like the first episode (yellow) but the next two were much better (green, orange)

I'm a little disappointed that it has a fixed order on Netflix, I hoped it would randomise the order if that is the aim. Going to hop about after the first two and see how it works.

Watched it in chronological order and didn't really think you could chop and change throughout. Was ok,with some episodes better than others. Solid if not spectacular.

I thought the order was different for all, so what you're seeing Shamikebab is what it has given you, but someone else's might be completely different.

Are you sure? My parents are watching it too and they've been given the exact same order so far and it's the same order that is listed on wikipedia so I'm assuming that is the default order.

Finally finished this, I've got to say the ending felt completely unsatisfying

Order it gives me is:

~~Black~~, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, Violet, Red, Pink, White

Most people seem to get the first 4 episodes mostly the same but in different orders, then the last 4 roughly the same group but not always the same order, with the odd exceptions.

Personally found it extremely boring whenever I've tried to get into it, I might try a different order to see if other episodes get it going better but don't have much hopes.

Yeah reading around it seems like episodes are linked, so you'll see some episodes in a certain order (always pink after red, orange after yellow for example I think) So there are less combinations than you would expect. Somehow I just ended up with the same order as wiki!
