Right from the get-go you're given the option of which cereal the protagonist has for breakfast. Sugar Puffs or Kellogg's Frosties. Hurry now, you only have five seconds to decide. Your choice will alter the whole storyline. No pressure. Time's up. He grabs the spoon. What have you done?!

Choices become increasingly more consequential as the show moves along. One moment you're deciding what cassette to listen to on the bus. Thompson Twins, yeah. The next moment you're choosing which weapon you will use for a grisly murder. Um, what? Summon the online memes that read "Well, the escalated quickly".

It's not entirely true that the audience decides everything that is going to happen. That would be, well, impossible to produce. Most of the actions have been chosen for you. For example, when people in the show are supposed to die, they do. Your choice is limited to the method in which that happens. So don't expect to get out of some very hairy situations, because they're inevitable.

So far, I've reached five divergent conclusions. All unfortunate, of course. It's Black Mirror. It's a freakin' nightmare. It's what I came here for.
