NP: Bandersnatch

[David Morris]

Spoilers!!!!

It has dead ends with rewinds. It has loops back to choose-agains with the
same two options as before.  It is up front about these with its game
coding limitations metaphor, and its fast forwards for re-dos.  Its
postscripts are better than its body.  I think it has only one ending, but
I didn't try all the binary choices. Its making the binary fork into a god
was cool, especially alongside its us/Netflix god.

My giving it a B+ was much in keeping with its own world of judgement.
