14 videos in 12 days? Christmas guys! Couldn't let this one slip without discussing with you all! what did you think?

Me and some close friends sat through Bandersnatch for nearly 3 and a half hours! I love this idea and absolutely hope we see this type of ingenuity from Netflix/Black Mirror in the future...or perhaps another timeline. Great video!

You were the first online opinion I've looked for. Please keep up the fantastic content :) happy new year!!

I thought the concept was very cool, but overall I prefer the normal episode format. Can’t wait for season 5!

[GabbyZombie]

Great video, Emma! Can’t wait to give this a watch 😊 Thank you for always working so hard to give us awesome content! ♥️

[knightfaerie]

Did anyone else go for the "Netflix" option when he asks whose controlling him and then he ends up in an action movie style fight with his psychiatrist and then it gets REALLY meta. That was amusing.

Just watched this yesterday! It’ll be cool to see if we see more interactive media like this in the future.

[nightmarefiles]

Definitely agree with everything. This episode was done very professionally. Good job.

[AlexLong]

I saw this last night, I don't even care that there's not another season because this is gold.

Great video Emma 👍
Make more Black Mirror reviews/analysis, it's awesome 😊

I was hoping for a bit more variety in the choices and storyline. I feel like no matter what I did it was pretty much the same story in the end. I did watch for like 4 hours last night and still did not see everything, so credit to them. But so many of the times the choices were "Be bad" or "Be worse" I guess that's what I should expect from Black Mirror though.

This is probably the best review of this Netflix’s under taking 👍

*We're only making plans for Stefan*

[estebk]

I think it was a clever idea and somehow well executed. But it never really feels like you're choosing but rather being guided through the story. And I also picked the "mother ending" as my favourite since it's the one that makes more sense within the character development of Stephan. And there's where, in my opinion, the story felt short: the characters don't feel as such but appear rather as plot devices so you could have said choices. Anyways, cool review Emma!

I liked all the references to Lewis Carroll's "Alice" and "Through the Looking Glass." In Alice, she sees the white rabbit and follows him (Stefan and his rabbit toy). Alice follows him down the rabbit hole (Colin refers to Stefan being in the hole) Alice is faced with many doors down a long hallway and finds a key to open one of the doors (the book Stefan reads "Look Door, Get Key." This book tells you how to create a choose-your-own-adventure game). She is presented with options along the way such as drinking a potion to make her large, small, eating biscuits that causes reaction A or B, eating different sides of the mushroom causing A or B. She meets the Caterpillar who is smoking a hookah and gives advice/infornation to Alice for her journey (Colin (caterpillar?) offers Stefan the blunt in his apartment then proceeds to give him info regarding our free will and decisions.) Colin also reminds me of the Cheshire Cat. In this apartment scene, Colin sits back and has the grin on his face... kinda like the Chesire Cat? He then tells Alice how to find the March Hare... Colin tells Stefan various things about PAC and many of these things, like the government and drugs, allude to choices Stefan can make down the storyline, many of which end revolve around the rabbit. I dunno if this is too farfetched but that's what I saw.

I could go on and on with a billion other similarities that I saw but I feel like I am writing a critical analysis report for English on here. Those are just some things I noticed.

Just watched/played it on my laptop. This is a masterpiece and I can't wait to share it with everyone that I think could use a little dark depression in their lives ;) Beautifully written, performed and technically polished. I enjoyed the slow burn of the story and got genuinely creeped out (and had some chuckles from/by) some of the meta aspects. I wouldn't want every season of Black Mirror to be this, but this was great!

[skitzy]

I was kind of blown away by how easily it puts us into the action and becomes a horror film by the end - and we're directing. I only played it once and got the ending where I killed his father, chopped him in pieces, and sold the game to 5/5 review. Only for the truth to come out a few years later.

There's also a pretty good fourth wall breaking moment when we can explain what Netflix is to Stefan and he's baffled and dumb struck. And the scene that folloss with the therapist (if you choose) is equally awesome.

Similar concepts have been done in video games but for a streaming service, this is the next level. (If they decide to do more.)

Great video as always and happy holidays. :)

Hi emma, just here to say that I love your content! Would be great to watch a video of you talking about the best BM episodes 😄

[thebadassninja]

Damn. You are a very good speaker. I will check that out in January. Right now I am cramming in some movies that I needed to watch that came out this year before this year ends.

[RavenHouseMystery]

Thanks for the review, Emma. I will definitely check it out.
