Bandersnatch was fire for as long as I could stay inside of the meta-concepts and as far as that goes I think it's a home run. But that really wasn't effective after the first run for me. It was dope as I followed Stefan through his realization that his choices were an illusion and then after a couple of dead ends, I started to feel that same concern. Like I was on some "how much is this narrative pushing me in one direction...what happens if I choose the opposite...I guess I HAVE to make the other choice to see more" into a straight up rabbit hole.
But that sort of realization and the way it shaped the experience was gone when I jumped back in for a second lap from the beginning. Once you're pulled outta that meta-mindset, it starts to feel flat and less rewarding imo.
All in all; dope concept and a cool way to incorporate interactivity into the story in a way that gave me the same disorienting and dystopian feelings of some of the best episodes. But it falls from being one of those better ones because those impacts faded a lot more quickly here and while I can rewatch those episodes and get lost in them again; I feel like the branching paths take away from recapturing the vibe on multiple viewings.
