NetflixBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch was the peak of Netflix’s interactive experiment.
The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt tried its own interactive special, and Netflix tried an interactive rom-com called Choose Love, but neither reached Bandersnatch’s success.
NetflixThe only interactive specials remaining were those spun off from existing series: Black Mirror and Kimmy Schmidt.
While other interactive shows can be remade into linear experiences, Bandersnatch’s entire plot relies on the interactivity.
And a future where popular media can be deleted on a corporate whim feels like one Black Mirror would try to warn us about.
