“Black Mirror: Bandersnatch” dropped on Netflix at 12 p.m. PT/3 a.m. ET last night — and a bunch of (totally not crazy) people stayed up to experience the Charlie Brooker-created anthology series’ very first “Choose Your Own Adventure” installment as soon as it launched.
If you weren’t willing to sacrifice your sleep to see what all the fuss was about, don’t worry, because TheWrap went through several viewings of the interactive story that follows ’80s programmer Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) and his attempts to adapt the fantasy novel “Bandersnatch” into a video game. And in the wee small hours Friday, we unearthed tons of references to previous “Black Mirror” episodes buried inside the movie.
