    Yeah there are a few duds. But the Great ones are going to be classics for a long time.

    just watched the Black Mirror interactive movie they just put out
    it's more a novelty than a movie though

    somehow Netflix doesn't inform me of this movie even though I have the show as a favorite :mad:

    Shut Up and Dance is by far the best episode I've seen. GREAT twist at the end!

    Hang the DJ was really good. I enjoyed that one. It's hard to make me care about a couple in any show or movie, but the couple in this episode had a real enough connection, and felt human enough to root for. The ending was cool also.

    Of course it does. But it's not even fair - TWLZ shits on any show.

    The very best Black Mirror episode equates to like a middling or even below average Twilight Zone episode.

    The best of the Twilight Zone is still mouth watering good to this day.

    Black Museum was quality.

    Arkangel was quality.

    Nosedive was VERY good.

    The National Anthem.... ehhhhh this was one was okay, but can't call it good.

    Be Right Back... this one started out with a lot of potential, then fall apart at the end. Ending was lame.

    The Waldo Moment... the worst I've seen. Hated that one.

    Looks like very very soon. Like possibly in the next few days soon.

    I'll binge watch a couple episodes I haven't seen yet tonight.

    What's your favorite episode?

    Tough call... I've enjoyed all of them on some level

    "Playtest", "Hated In The Nation", "USS Callister"... liked those a lot

    Haven't seen any of those.

    I got two minutes into "The Entire History of You" by it was 2am and I was ready to pass out.

    That's the first one I'll watch tonight. I heard it's one of the best.

    True.

    Have you seen Nosedive? That's the second best I've seen thus far behind Shut Up and Dance.

    Literally just finished watching ‘Bandersnatch’, myself. Went through a variety of scenarios and Ah must admit it’s made me question ma judgement lol! Ah dinnae want tae give the game away for those who havenae seen it but ma own experience resulted in a sad end. Ah decided tae ‘roll the credits’ and mibbees go back tae it another day. It held ma interest like nothing else on telly fer a wee while... no arsing aroond on ma phone, which is testament tae the originality. Tae answer yer question, it kept me entertained. We’re all spoilt wi’ shows nowadays and it’s hard tae maintain concentration so thumbs up from me.

    Ye said it wiz a novelty but it wiz also VERY Black Mirror, conceptually... whit did Ye reckon tae it?

    it's good...though not a movie, and not as good as the better episodes
    good as a stand alone novelty though

    i didn't think it was possible to get alternate endings though? since it ran through all the scenarios regardless, it seems

    I watched The Entire History of You last night.

    It was good, like you said, depressing.

    Not one of my favorites though.

    Someone suggest an episode I should watch tonight.

    interesting..I actually saw 7 out of 8 of those endings through a single viewing

    it would be cool if the storyline can diverge into an entirely different movie though, rather than only change the ending..maybe in the future

    I didn't like the interactive episode of Black Mirror. I expected more.

    I liked "Playtest" a lot.

    I started watching "Bandersnatch" a couple night ago and then got distracted doing some chores and left the remote with the wife to watch it through. Got back in time to watch whatever ending she picked out.

    I wasn't really feeling it to be honest. Not that it didn't seem well done, but I've never been a game-player and the concept of choosing your own pathways in a fictional storyline just doesn't appeal to me for some reason.

    1. Just read the synopsis for Playtest. Sounds interesting, I'll watch it tonight.

    2. Same here. Not big into the concept of choosing your own pathway. I'll pass, for now at least. Might watch it in the future though.
