I don’t think there are any good options! I had hoped for a happy ending, but I don’t think there is one. For me, it just kept going around until it stopped after about 2 hours.
I have to mention the Sherlock connections - Jonathan Aris (Anderson) plays a reporter, and the actress who played the nurse who hires Sherlock (in the Sign of Three) plays the therapist. I’ve seen her in some other things, too, and every time I do, I think “I’m so pleased that that nice nurse has recovered so well from finding out that the guy she met online was a murderer!” Ha!

I wasn’t looking for a happy ending just something coherent!
I didn’t saw Aris, I wonder if I took a path in which he wasn’t there!

He was the tv reporter who reported the story about Tuckersoft going out of business, which happened in a couple of the storylines I saw.

Perhaps now that I'm on holydays I'll watch it. I think that with todays technology someone was going to do something similar.
Is the story any good?

I thought it was fun! I’m not sure why so many tweeters said it was scary. I don’t think it was meant to be scary, so I have no idea what they were seeing. The story was good, although not very original.

It’s not scary AT ALL. But if you are familiar with Black Mirror, it is repetitive: another story about video games affecting the sanity of its creator and at least one of the endings is also derivative of other episodes: nothing is real, it’s just a TV show! I wonder why they don’t try more political episodes, now that we have Brexit with Rory Kinnear, I remembered the shocking first episode! Political themed episodes sound actually more scary than another evil video games plots!

While I mostly agree with the Hollywood Reporter, it seems to me that they were expecting something a lot “deeper”. Maybe I was fine with it because I never revered Black Mirror like most of the media did. I thought that much of it was recycled Twilight Zone episodes, but written by young people who thought they were being very clever and original. I think Bandersnatch fits right in with the whole series - they took an existing idea and tried something a bit different with it.

I didn't see the option with the character in the TV studio. I went down a "Netflix" path, and just got the main character telling everyon "people from the future are controlling my actions!" Which of course, we were. I thought it was pretty clever, except that the product placement of their own name, and description of their company, was extremely cheesy.
