I played Bandersnatch and I think I got most of the endings! I sat there for a few good 4 hours rewatching to see what would be different. I watched this first before the show. I really liked the concept and hope they do more!

Now I'm watching the show I see all the references and nods to other episodes in Bandersnatch! I'm still on season 1 and loving it so far!

I watched one episode (not bandersnatch) and was weirded out so have not tried any other. I'm considering watching Bandersnatch with hubby though.

     Seen it. It’s a kind of secret joy of mine. Despite liking cartoons, I also seem to enjoy weird stand alone strangeness. Who knew? My favourite episode would probably be Metalhead. One of the first episodes I saw, and I find it quite intriguing. Also, the black and white camerawork adds to the spooky side of things.

Each episode is different so try to give it another go, it's all technological horror, with a few twists. Some episodes I've watched have had bitter sweet endings and are worth the watch. The 1st episode was bad imo, try again with other episodes :)

I spent about 2 hours on before I reached an ending.

I'm surprised it wasn't totally wiped from the profile though. I figured it would be very "Black Mirror" of it to make you think you could replay it but then take it away from you :lol:

Haha, weird and strange are my primary thing. It's the ponies that stand as an outlier for me :lol:

Was Metalhead the one with the robot dog things? That one was okay imo. I do love those robots though!

White Christmas is a lot of people's favorite, pretty sure that's in Season 1. But yeah, there are definitely good and bad episodes. Some are dark, sweet, funny. It's a real mixed bag.

I love black mirror! It reminds me a lot of a modern day twilight zone, which is another favorite of mine! I agree it can be a bit hit or miss though, I’m glad I watched more episodes after the first one. That’s a terrible introduction to the show imo. When I was introducing my parents to the show I refused to let them watch it.  :lol:
I haven’t had the chance to play Bandersnatch yet! I just saw it today, I’m hoping over the weekend i’ll have some time to really dig into it!
I think my favorite episodes are White Bear, Men Against Fire, USS Callister, White Christmas, and San Junipero. I think I’ve watched San Junipero like 5 times now, it’s actually a really cute uplifting story by black mirror standards! :P I was actually really disappointed with the last season we got, it just felt so much more dark and cynical than the other seasons for some reason. I know it always runs pretty dark but I guess these stories just weren’t as compelling or thought provoking for me.

I like it but the interactive thing is not my cup of tea so , I will be skipping that one. I am here to watch a series, not interact with it.  If I want interaction, I will go play some click and point adventure game.

I love it all! Watched it right from the beginning when it was lower budget. I actually think I prefer some of the first/second series to the latest ones, even though the production values are higher.

San Junipero is my favourite episode. I love love love it, even have a T-shirt with the Tuckers logo on XD   White Bear a distant second.

I am watching Bandershatch tomorrow. I can’t wait!

Tried to watch a few episodes of the show and couldn’t get interested. We did watch bandersnatch and I was interested for the first hour or so, but once I started going in circles and watching the same things over and over, I was kind of praying for it to end lol.

I liked most of the series. My favorites were Shut up and Dance, White Bear, San Junipero, Arkangel, USS Callister and Hang the DJ. I liked the fact that they were all so different and it wasn't like I had to watch them all or in any sort of order.
Haven't played Bandersnatch yet but my family is supposed to leave me alone today to do it.
