Well I turned on Netflix and it was there.No idea what they are on about as I can’t see anything on Netflix and the new season doesn’t start till sometime in 2019.
Sometimes a little information would be great instead of assuming that everybody is in the know about everything all the time.
I wasn't assuming everybody was in the know about everything at all.
What I did assume was if you looked you be able to find it.

Yes, from today. It’s a one offandclike those multi choice adventure books where the reader is ask to pick a choice and go on to page 67 to see what happens. Now you choose with your remote.

Found it. I assumed it would be with the other episodes as specials usually are,so I looked there. Finding specific things on Netflix can be a challenge.

Having watched and enjoyed A Quiet Place recently it felt a bit like an attempt to do something similar - instead of no speaking, no looking

We just finished it. Apparently it takes 45 min to watch straight, or about 1.5h if you choose to play. I reckon it took is 1h 45m to finish it, so I guess we made a lot of wrong choicesThe interactive Black Mirror where you decide what happens with your remote.
I thought it was new. Now I'm not so sure.
Ask T & P..he's fucking it!
We killed him off a few times anyway.Not the most amazing of all Black Mirror stories, but then again this is as much about the interactivity as the story. Pretty fun anyway. Now I want to do it again choosing all the options I rejected the first time, as I reckon there’s plenty of footage we haven’t seen.

There are lots of horror films with high concept premises like stay in the light (Lights Out, Pitch Black), stay off the ground (Tremors), don’t sleep (Invasion of the Body Snatchers, A Nighmare on Elm St), don’t fuck (It Follows) etc.Having watched and enjoyed A Quiet Place recently it felt a bit like an attempt to do something similar - instead of no speaking, no looking
Don’t Breathe already had done the “don’t make a sound”-thing better than A Quiet Place a couple of years before (also on Netflix, in Germany at least). “Don’t look at he monster” goes all the way back to Medusa and she got her own Hammer horror film.

Deep fried chip butty.
Just played it. Our ending was laugh out loud. Don't know what other endings were available, don't really want to find out in reviews, gonna have to play again tomorrow.

Just watched 3 eps of this and am enjoying it. I don't know enough about it to comment on historical accuracy but it is, as you say, very watchable.

We watched/played black mirror last night. But due to language misunderstandings between me and my boyfriend (stupidly, they dub the talking into different languages but not the choices), he made a wrong choice related to the father, which led to a grim story and I had to give up and turn it off after a while of being stuck in a loop.

It is a bit random....it is recommending "Sunderland til I Die" to me which may well be good but I never, ever watch anything to do with sport so.....why?? Maybe because it's a documentary? I watch plenty of those.Oh danny la rouge

ETA: Ah actually, as I write this, I realise have watched some sport-based docos recently (something about Lance Armstrong, the Russian Olympic doping scandal one, the women rowing across the Pacific....) . Ignore me
It's the worst thing I've ever seen on Netflix. I watched the whole first episode because I couldn't believe how bad it was, it didn't get better.

It must be bad then. Netflix has some terrible shite. That could be a thread all of its own!

I've just watched the trailer and it's one of those trailers that basically tells you the whole story which for me, is always an indicator of something being dreadfulMaybe I'm usually quite picky then
Finished this last night. It's okay but the lack of continuity is jarring. Maya Eshet is the best actor in it by far.
Didn't think it was as good as Altered Carbon. Can't believe that Netflix gave up the Expanse for this.

So many particulars. So many questions.
I think it suffered from one too many jump scares, one too many horror cliches. Maya Eshet was great mind, and I quite liked the kid with the mind powers.
Enjoyed the book, but won't watch the series as the casting looks so wrong.

Up the bum - no babies!!!
I watched Birdbox with my daughter a few nights ago - just cos we'd finished (re)watching all of Catasphrophe on 4OD in preparation for the new series 
- and it came up and we thought, meh, cba to search around and it was quite enjoyable in that respect, as a random choice (although yeah, we both thought the ending was pants ) but now I keep seeing lots of *news* about 45 million people having watched it, like it was some big deal
My guess is just that there were 45 million (-2) other people sitting around in that same post-Xmas stuffed sloth state, too tired to go for anything not immediately showing up, rather than it being anything *amazing*
