It’s a work in progress, but it is definitely a helping hand in getting the most of the special
Netflix dropped us a late Christmas treat in the shape Black Mirror special ‘Bandersnatch’.
Of course, this is no ordinary episode of Charlie Brooker’s speculative sci-fi anthology show. ‘Bandersnatch’ is a unique interactive experience, offering the viewer the choice to pick what direction the story goes at certain points.
It is essentially the TV equivalent of a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
However, unlike reading a Choose Your Own Adventure novel in your hands, you can’t just keep your thumb on the page and go back to the previous section if you get a bad ending (or, for the very advanced, find the best ending at the back of the book, and systematically work your way backward – did anyone else do that?).
Anyway, we have a solution. As shared by ‘Bandersnatch’ star Asim Chaudhry (ak Chabuddy G from People Just Do Nothing), here is a flow-chart detailing all the possible outcomes depending on which options you choose.

Wow. Just wow. That is so complicated.
Pretend to spend the rest of your weekend going through all the options.

Or, if that is making your head hurt, maybe just watch ‘San Junipero’ again.
