Black Mirror's "Bandersnatch" goes offline as Netflix's interactive experiment era ends
Briefly

The departure of Netflix's interactive specials, "Bandersnatch" and "Kimmy vs. the Reverend," signals a significant shift in narrative choices available on the platform. Both specials, which allowed viewers to interact with the storyline, will be removed on May 12th. This move follows the removal of numerous other interactive titles and coincides with a broader redesign of Netflix. "Bandersnatch," notable for its integration of themes regarding technology's effects on society, maintained a connection to the larger Black Mirror narrative, while "Kimmy vs. the Reverend" successfully adapted the adventurous model, providing emotional depth for its characters.
"Bandersnatch," an interactive special from Black Mirror, exemplified the evolution of storytelling by allowing viewers to make choices that influenced the narrative, thus deepening engagement.
Both "Bandersnatch" and "Kimmy vs. the Reverend" will be leaving Netflix this month as the platform undergoes a redesign, marking the end of its interactive series era.
