Black Mirror: Bandersnatch
Available on Netflix
In BLACK MIRROR: BANDERSNATCH, it's 1984, and Stefan Butler (Fionn Whitehead) is a creative, ambitious video game designer. Obsessed with Bandersnatch, a book written by an author who has a bizarre history, Stefan is working on a game based on the book. He's overjoyed when a pitch meeting at a notable gaming company -- which includes designer Colin Ritman (Will Poulter), Stefan's idol -- has a positive outcome: The company wants his game. Faced with a challenging deadline, Stefan immerses himself in his work. But Peter (Craig Parkinson), Stefan's dad, is worried. The young man is still trying to cope with his mother's tragic death years earlier; he's taking anti-depressants and seeing a therapist. So Peter is afraid that his son's frenetic schedule will be harmful. As the conflict between the two men escalates, Stefan begins to feel strangely manipulated by an unseen presence he thinks may be controlling his behavior -- specifically, his choices. It's a combination of forces that just may send Stefan over the edge.
