Would you have Watch The Running Mates: Human Rights Onlineliked Bandersnatch better if it had been a 'normal' Black Mirror episode, rather than the groundbreaking Choose Your Own Adventure feat that it is? Did making all those decisions stress you out?
Well, Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker doesn't care about that. At all.

"There’s [...] some people that are like, ‘I don’t wanna make decisions’, ‘I don’t want to do any of it.' Well fuck off, then," Brooker told HuffPost. "Do something else!"
Fair enough.
Brooker also had some words for those who would argue that Bandersnatchachieves nothing that computer games haven't been excelling in for years.
"Then there’s some people who think: ‘oh, it’s too simple as a game’ or ‘games have done this before’ – well this isn’t on a gaming platform, it’s on Netflix," Brooker told HuffPost. "I’m well aware of what a computer game is, thanks."
And to those viewers wondering why there really is no happy ending for Stefan in Bandersnatch, Brooker has yet another scathingly brusque answer.
"Have they seen Black Mirror?"
Loving the sassiness, Charlie.
