I fucking love this show so much.

[Rammsteinmad]

Great show, interesting to see how this works.

[Frank Drebin]

Really cool concept. No idea if any of the choices had any effect on the end. Guess I'll read about it later.

[RP]

I'm to a point where it gave me a choice to yell at my dad or pour coffee on my computer. I poured the coffee on the computer and it made me go back and restart from a certain point.

Really cool concept, like Franky D said... Parts of it I was really interested and invested, but the end I got was kind of "meh". Gonna have to read about it and see if there are more interesting endings/footage to get. I wonder if any of the more "mundane choices" like cereal/music effect it at all/much.

I started to "feel bad" at points for controlling him and him going nuts because of it...... but I had a good chuckle at going down a path where I was explaining what Netflix was to him and ended up having an action sequence burst out at the psychiatrist's office

[Frank Drebin]

I watched a second time with my wife making the choices.

Seems like you basically get to see all the endings everytime it has you go back to chose something different. The "coolest" ending I got was him going back and deciding to get on the train and die with his mom. Basically the same ending as The Butterfly Effect.

Of course, someone on Reddit has made a map:

Good. So I've seen everything and don't need to go through it all again.

Cool concept

Not sure what I thought of it tho

Really thinking about what would have happened if I had

chosen KICK DAD IN THE BALLS instead of KARATE CHOP DAD

Watched through yesterday, as it only went to the full credits once, I saw the majority of “endings” which saves me having to watch again.

Think that was one of the inconsequential choices that leads to the same outcome regardless of which choice you make.

I liked it

[Seanny One Ball]

Watched this for about three hours yesterday.

Fucking hypnotic until you realise that's the point, you keep re-doing it and he keeps re-doing his game and you both get fidgety, angry and neurotic until he snaps in a variety of ways.

It's typically brilliant Black Mirror, Charlie Brooker is the funny man's Rod Serling.

[Frank Drebin]

Twas. Just hope that's the only choose your own adventure schtick they do. Don't think I could do another one of those. Like playing one of those old Sega CD games.
