Remember reading those "choose-your-own-adventure" books when you were young? The ones that let you decide how the story should go after each cliffhanger? Choose the right option and your adventure continues; choose the wrong option and your story could end disastrously.
Now streaming service Netflix has adopted that concept for television, and anyone who's seen it has something to say about it. Titled Bandersnatch, this special episode of the futuristic series Black Mirror tells the story of a computer game designer trying to create a choose-your-own-adventure video game. But the mammoth scope of the task gradually unravels him, leading to possibly untoward endings.
Of course, that ending depends on you. Every now and then, you'll be prompted to choose between two options on your viewing device. Click on either option for radically different trajectories.
