Bandersnatch is worth at least one run-through if only to grok the basic challenges of this storytelling mode. Doesn’t quite work but they tried all the right kinds of cleverness. It was like watching a test launch of an experimental rocket.

A little bit like Inception. More intricate than interesting, and the self-aware metaness was a bit much. But they did manage to draw the chooser-watcher into the structure somewhat. It’s a proof-point that the zone between story and game is habitable.

It felt less like “choose your own adventure” and more like “try to guess which choice the writers want you to pick”

Slight issue with being force fed into certain decisions. Overall, I applaud any content that attempts something bold and creative. Curious if anyone else watched more than once to test a new decision tree.

There are YouTubers who have done much more, with much, much less. BM can't have its pig & fuck it too. It's about goddamn time we stop celebrating mediocre crap on TV just because it has the name of a show that was OK about 5 years ago. And fuck GoT, too while I'm at it...

while certainly novel for a streaming TV, it felt almost like a retro parade of interactive narrative choice techniques vastly explored in video games. see for example Life is Strange and especially Stanley Parable
