Hi there,
I am facing this issue as well.

Also, on hovering on the "garbled characters" it shows Failed to convert to Pickle message.

[rad-pat]

The problem I experience with this that results in the Failed to convert to Pickle is that my keys are stored pickled with Protocol 5 in Python and the library pickleparser used for RedisInsight does not currently support Protocol 5.

[GnaneshKunal]

Hey @rad-pat,

You are right with it. The library we currently use doesn't support Pickle Protocol 5.

[ewfian]

Protocol 5 will be supported in https://github.com/ewfian/pickleparser/pull/4/files
