The new Netflix Black Mirror series has another Bandersnatch-like gaming crossover moment, but you might not even notice it
We play the new Netflix Black Mirror gaming crossover and wonder whether it works better than Bandersnatch, or worse.
Several years ago, Bandersnatch, a special spin-off episode of the anthology series, which tells dark, cautionary tales about the use of technology, turned heads for putting interactivity directly in a TV show. Ritman was in Bandersnatch, where he was also idolised by the main character, and he's played by the same actor again, Will Poulter (who was excellent in the prescription drug-focused series Dopesick, in case you haven't seen it). There's so much about the set-up of Plaything that's similar: Tuckersoft is once again the fictional game developer at the heart of the story, only this time it's depicted in the early 90s rather than the 80s, and hallucinogenic drugs play a catalytic role in the plot again.
