Black Mirror (Channel 4, Netflix) TV Show • Page 39

I took one look and thought, "not worth the effort"

 

And I thought I was the one being lazy.

 

You were. I think that’s why they don’t want to work through translating your formatting.

 

I think it’s worth checking out in that if there was an unwatched episode of Black Mirror sitting out there on Netflix, I would watch it twice within the next week. That said, it was probably the most underwhelming episode of the series that has been made so far. It was just so... straight forward? On the nose? It mostly immediately was what it was? Sure, the reveal at the end gave some emotional color to the protagonist’s motivations... but, regardless... it was what it was. It lacked oomph.

 

it's alive

 

Fuuuuck it's not supported on my TV. I didn't want to have to watch on my tiny laptop screen

 

Will watch it this weekend. Didn't think about needing a TV that supports it. Hope mine does!

 

there are some really wild endings to this, it's a lot of fun. you can easily lose hours going through all the nuances

the branch where you try to tell him what Netflix is is just outstanding

 

Wait what!? What kind of tv do you need?!

 

I assume if I use a game console for Netflix I’m fine??

 

What kind of TV do you have? Why would a TV not support this?

 

Is this out yet? I just flipped on Netflix on my OLED and couldnt find it.

 

Search Bandersnatch, it doesn't come up with Black Mirror?

 

So how does this work? I’m only seeing a 90min episode? How do they handle the multiple endings?

 

Just tried to play this on my girlfriends parents tv. Not supported haha

 

It’s weird that it’s not supported by some TVs because apparently if you don’t choose any option in time it just chooses for you. The “non-supported” TVs should at least do that.

 

Bandersnatch Not Working: What Devices Are Supported? | Heavy.com

Chromecasts, the Windows App and Apple TVs do not support interactive content at this time.

 

So the only place this would work for everybody is like in some futuristic Black Mirror episode. Makes sense

 

Tried this on my Vita Netflix app knowing full well it wouldn't work, kind of annoying that it even shows up just so you can play it just to get a trailer telling you that your device is too stupid for it

 

No Apple TV eh? Guess I'll just watch on my mac.

 

I have a computer hooked up to the TV downstairs (I think HDMI? I don't really look back there), and wireless mouse/keyboard, that seemed to do the trick. Took a few shots to load anything, though; either my internet was being slow, or there were a lot of people watching it at 5am PST.

 

My laptop is connected to the TV with HDMI and wireless mouse and keyboard too, so I'm hoping I won't have issues.

So, length wise, how much of it is the set up and how much of it is the alternate endings? Is like the first hour the same regardless of which path you choose?

 

finished it, not entirely sure what constitutes an ending so i either got two (with credits, one of which kicked me out of the episode to the "up next" screen) or four or five, where it had an ending sequence but no credits and then went back to the last choice so i could continue on a new path. it's...fine. i think it's a weaker black mirror episode on its own and kind of thin from a character/plot perspective considering how long the whole experience took me but the choose your own adventures stuff is novel and the way its integrated into the actual conceit of the episode is kind of neat. i probably won't watch/play it again and feel like i got a good range of endings/different paths my first time through. cool experiment and good to have a bit of black mirror again but i'm ready for a new traditional season.

 

I'd love to see some stats like Telltale games had where you could see how many people picked which option

 

oh no... I was wondering if I would have that problem... will check today
