I just went through it for the first time, it was cool to pick your own choices, but the story overall isn’t interesting enough for me to go back and make different choices and see the different endings. Now when are they gonna release the actual season 5? I had the same feeling. It was a cool idea but was I entertained? Tbh no I wasnt

I had really good fun with it, the Netflix ending was particularly delightful, but I agree there wasn't a hell of a lot of depth there. I think people who don't really like storytelling games as a rule aren't going to be converted by it, but as a fan of them, seeing a cleverly-written, high-budget, well acted form of that genre was pretty great.
I'm not sure this is some formal trend-setter but I'm glad it was made. I'm also curious to see how many more endings I could have got.

That happened to me too. From reading around how other people have experienced it, I'm guessing it keeps prompting you to go back to a previous point in the story so that you can get to see certain endings. Not necessarily every specific ending, just one of each type of ending.

Yay new episodes. Many people at the beginning of the thread said you shouldn't binge. Well, I did, still loved it. 😄 Dystopian SciFi is one of my favourite genres though. Imo the show has a broad variety of episode that go from very near to our reality now to more futuristic ones. I think my favourite episode is the social rating one with Bryce Dallas Howard.

Can't believe it's so soon after Bandersnatch! I would say it's a shame it's only three episodes, but if they're great I don't really care how many.

Bandersnatch was shit so i’m glad for some more proper episodes. That certainly seems to be the consensus. I love Black Mirror, but I didn’t bother with that one. The gimmick of it didn’t really appeal to me.

The gimmick of it didn’t really appeal to me. Yeah, interesting idea but not really worth the time tbh. Focused too much on a flashy new gimmick and not enough on story. Confident these will be a return to form though as they are just regular episodes afaik

I get the feeling they're going to tackle the 'What if phones but too much' criticism in that third one haha.

I thought this was the weakest season by far tbh. Definitely no standout episodes. I’d say Smithereens was the best of the three thanks to a strong performance by Andrew Scott, but that’s about it. The Miley Cyrus one might be the worst the show has done to date.
