Quit spamming
prevnextBlack Mirror: Bandersnatch doesn't play on 4k Apple TV is a big WTF. Also, Netflix emailed me each time I tried to play it. Sure, let me watch this on my tiny ass phone screen instead.. pic.twitter.com/kZjBtIZByP

A workaround, perhaps?
prevnextAbout to watch the new interactive #Bandersnatch on #Netflix ... You can watch it over Chromecast with interactivity over a Chrome browser on Windows 10

Inspiration for Charlie Brooker's next Black Mirror

Don't bother with the torrent...
prevnextThe only way pirates can be able to fully torrent #Bandersnatch as it is meant to be interacted with, is if they figure out the source codes for the web design or at least uncover all the hundred possibilities! But hell, that shit didn't even play on chrome.

Yep, this is our own Black Mirror episode...
prevnextNetflix instantly emailing me offering help after I tried and failed to watch #Bandersnatch on my Fire Stick is more terrifying than any Black Mirror episode.
