BLACK MIRROR: "BANDERSNATCH"
Netflix, 3:00 a.m. ET
SPECIAL PREMIERE: As a special treat during the holidays, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker presents a special – very special – one-shot, one-off installment of his always worthwhile TV anthology series about technology, fantasy, suspense, and surprise. This new 2018 entry, Bandersnatch, requires you the viewer to decide the actions of the protagonist – which means the first thing you have to decide is whether you want to go to all the trouble of watching on a computer, smartphone or other similarly interactive device. I suggest you do, but I can’t make you. I can, however, make the central character of Bandersnatch, who’s busy designing an interactive videogame of his own, do lots of things… and I already have.
