"content": "\u003cp>As turn-of-the-millennium YA soaps on television go, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KycNsC2Iyw\">\u003cem>Roswell \u003c/em>\u003c/a>was no \u003cem>Buffy \u003c/em>or \u003cem>Dawson's Creek\u003c/em>, but it had its devotees. Furthermore, it was the big break for both Shiri Appleby and Katherine Heigl, both of whom are still in TV 20 years after \u003cem>Roswell\u003c/em> premiered in 1999. Now, the reboot business has found \u003cem>Roswell—\u003c/em>now called \u003cem>Roswell, New Mexico \u003c/em>in its new form on the CW. (Both are based on the Melinda Metz book series \u003cem>Roswell High.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYNUT_vxA9w\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bones of the new show are the same as the earlier versions: three orphaned aliens named Max, Isobel and Michael live in Roswell, surrounded by the kitsch of a town that made its reputation as the (sort of) site of a (purported) alien landing in 1947. The joke is that while tourists come for the little green men and the funny diner names (like the Crash Down Cafe), the real aliens, now adults, walk among them, keeping secret a variety of powers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inciting incident is similar in this version to the old one, too: Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason) has returned to Roswell, where she grew up, to visit her father. While she's there, her old friend (and perhaps more?) Max (Nathan Parsons) saves her life using his alien powers. This threatens to expose his secret, along with those of his sister Isobel (Lily Cowles) and their friend Michael (Michael Vlamis). Isobel and Michael both have other issues, other secrets, other people in their lives—as does Liz, who remains connected to her old boyfriend Kyle (Michael Trevino), who's now a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The major innovation in the new version is that Liz is Latina, and her father is undocumented. This creates echoes, of course, not only with the ideas of travelers and visitors, but with the fear of discovery that exists in Liz's life as well as Max's. An early incident in the series (critics have seen three episodes) underscores the fact that Liz's father is vulnerable not only to ICE, but also to people who know what happens to him if he goes to the police or the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a CW series to its core: It fits alongside the network's superhero shows, which mix soapy drama with science fiction, and with \u003cem>Riverdale\u003c/em>, a dark spin on a premise that sounds funny. Not everything about it works—Isobel is not well developed in the early going, and Kyle seems extraneous at best, although his story starts to ramp up a couple of episodes in. Of course, it's a lot of characters to build. It may take time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But parts of it work pretty well out of the gate. Mason won \u003cem>So You Think You Can Dance\u003c/em> back in 2009 and has been acting ever since, most recently on \u003cem>Grey's Anatomy\u003c/em>.

Furthermore, it was the big break for both Shiri Appleby and Katherine Heigl, both of whom are still in TV 20 years after \u003cem>Roswell\u003c/em> premiered in 1999. Now, the reboot business has found \u003cem>Roswell—\u003c/em>now called \u003cem>Roswell, New Mexico \u003c/em>in its new form on the CW. (Both are based on the Melinda Metz book series \u003cem>Roswell High.\u003c/em>)\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/pYNUT_vxA9w'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/pYNUT_vxA9w'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The bones of the new show are the same as the earlier versions: three orphaned aliens named Max, Isobel and Michael live in Roswell, surrounded by the kitsch of a town that made its reputation as the (sort of) site of a (purported) alien landing in 1947. The joke is that while tourists come for the little green men and the funny diner names (like the Crash Down Cafe), the real aliens, now adults, walk among them, keeping secret a variety of powers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The inciting incident is similar in this version to the old one, too: Liz Ortecho (Jeanine Mason) has returned to Roswell, where she grew up, to visit her father. While she's there, her old friend (and perhaps more?) Max (Nathan Parsons) saves her life using his alien powers. This threatens to expose his secret, along with those of his sister Isobel (Lily Cowles) and their friend Michael (Michael Vlamis). Isobel and Michael both have other issues, other secrets, other people in their lives—as does Liz, who remains connected to her old boyfriend Kyle (Michael Trevino), who's now a police officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The major innovation in the new version is that Liz is Latina, and her father is undocumented. This creates echoes, of course, not only with the ideas of travelers and visitors, but with the fear of discovery that exists in Liz's life as well as Max's. An early incident in the series (critics have seen three episodes) underscores the fact that Liz's father is vulnerable not only to ICE, but also to people who know what happens to him if he goes to the police or the hospital.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>The best-selling trilogy of novels by Justin Cronin—\u003cem>The Passage, The Twelve\u003c/em> and \u003cem>The City of Mirrors\u003c/em>—collectively form an epic tale, sweeping in scope. Combining apocalyptic fiction with straight-up horror, the books hop around in time—well, I say \"hop\"—they \u003cem>long-jump\u003c/em> around in time, from the near-future, when a secret team of government scientists attempts to develop a formula that will render humanity immune to disease, to 1,000 years hence, long after \u003cem>that \u003c/em>bright idea has borne its inevitable, nasty, blood-sucking fruit: vampires called \"virals\" that have wiped out most of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's pulpy going, sure—part \u003cem>I Am Legend\u003c/em>, part \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>, part \u003cem>The Stand\u003c/em>—but all those familiar, pulpy components cohere into something hugely satisfying, because Cronin is so good at establishing the vastness of the world he creates: shocks and twists abound, characters thought dead return after looooong absences, and there's a palpable sense of humanity's enduring legacy—its triumphs and missteps—on a planet where only a hardy few huddle together in far-flung outposts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>big\u003c/em>, in other words. Vast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the new FOX series \u003cem>The Passage\u003c/em>—named for the first book in Cronin's trilogy, but based, we are assured, on all three of them—isn't. At least, not yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rJ64J-gSbY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the first three episodes made available to press, the series boasts strong performances, agreeably hokey dialogue you'll likely be able to mouth along with the actors, too-brief but sorely needed flashes of humor, and characters who say and do some very, \u003cem>very \u003c/em>stupid things only because the plot demands them to.

Combining apocalyptic fiction with straight-up horror, the books hop around in time—well, I say \"hop\"—they \u003cem>long-jump\u003c/em> around in time, from the near-future, when a secret team of government scientists attempts to develop a formula that will render humanity immune to disease, to 1,000 years hence, long after \u003cem>that \u003c/em>bright idea has borne its inevitable, nasty, blood-sucking fruit: vampires called \"virals\" that have wiped out most of the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's pulpy going, sure—part \u003cem>I Am Legend\u003c/em>, part \u003cem>The Walking Dead\u003c/em>, part \u003cem>The Stand\u003c/em>—but all those familiar, pulpy components cohere into something hugely satisfying, because Cronin is so good at establishing the vastness of the world he creates: shocks and twists abound, characters thought dead return after looooong absences, and there's a palpable sense of humanity's enduring legacy—its triumphs and missteps—on a planet where only a hardy few huddle together in far-flung outposts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's \u003cem>big\u003c/em>, in other words.

McShane does what he can, but the precious screen time he's allotted isn't enough to establish him as much more than a pale guy with bad skin sitting in a cell, biding his time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108594\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-108594\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Evil Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane) can't help but look bored as he bides his time.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-1920x1080.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/tp-pilot2_sc12-em_0144_wide-2603fe517757c9b6d18aec685d14a958a7e59ac8-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Evil Tim Fanning (Jamie McShane) can't help but look bored as he bides his time. \u003ccite>(FOX)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The producers' go-to scare tactic—having McShane, or one of his fellow virals, suddenly grimace and hiss—doesn't pack quite the punch they want it to.

It premiered on Fox on Wednesday night, and the network would love to see it burn brightly, even though the high (like, \u003cem>extremely high\u003c/em>) concept suggests it might burn rather briefly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oode4PFfhG4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The way it works is this: There are 12 contestants total. On Wednesday night, six of them performed. They are celebrities, \u003cem>we have been promised\u003c/em>, but their identities are obscured. They are wearing various mascotlike costumes: a peacock, a unicorn, a deer. They are introduced by Nick Cannon, with taped segments in which the audience gets \"hints\" of various bluntness about whom they are. Then they compete in pairs, with the studio audience voting and the judging panel (more about them in a minute) weighing in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three who lose their faceoffs are then subjected to the whims of the judging panel, which consists of Ken \"\u003cem>The Hangover\u003c/em>\" Jeong, Jenny \"The Less Said, The Better\" McCarthy, Nicole \"Pussycat Dolls\" Scherzinger, and Robin \"Blurred Lines, Indeed\" Thicke. One of them is eliminated, and on that person's way out the door, their identity is revealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday night, we saw Peacock vs. Hippo, Unicorn vs. Monster, and Lion vs. Deer. Hippo, Monster and Deer (who are not, by the way, the partners in a Fisher-Price law firm) lost their battles. The judges eliminated Hippo, and Hippo turned out to be Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown is a famous football player—famous enough that he's on the cover of the video game \u003cem>Madden 19\u003c/em>. But is he famous enough outside of football fandom to make that a fully satisfying reveal to a general audience when it's the only unmasking in the episode? That's a fair question.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108316\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-108316\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2019/01/ms-s1_ep101-show-mb_0436_wide-b107e19169a922ea05caa3a83f3692fdb5c8fd89-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Ladies and gentlemen...

THE HIPPO!\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There were one or two contestants it was pretty easy to guess, especially after you saw someone else make the suggestion. If you go to Twitter, you can find out what the consensus was on the identities of both the peacock and the unicorn. But consider, if you will, the lion. The audience seemed \u003cem>really \u003c/em>into the lion. The judges (who, we were promised, also don't know the identities of the contestants) went wild for the lion, who appeared to be a woman and who said she could be considered \"Hollywood royalty.\" But if the lion becomes an audience favorite, then the lion will win and win and not be revealed until the very end.

It premiered on Fox on Wednesday night, and the network would love to see it burn brightly, even though the high (like, \u003cem>extremely high\u003c/em>) concept suggests it might burn rather briefly.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/oode4PFfhG4'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/oode4PFfhG4'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The way it works is this: There are 12 contestants total. On Wednesday night, six of them performed. They are celebrities, \u003cem>we have been promised\u003c/em>, but their identities are obscured. They are wearing various mascotlike costumes: a peacock, a unicorn, a deer. They are introduced by Nick Cannon, with taped segments in which the audience gets \"hints\" of various bluntness about whom they are. Then they compete in pairs, with the studio audience voting and the judging panel (more about them in a minute) weighing in, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three who lose their faceoffs are then subjected to the whims of the judging panel, which consists of Ken \"\u003cem>The Hangover\u003c/em>\" Jeong, Jenny \"The Less Said, The Better\" McCarthy, Nicole \"Pussycat Dolls\" Scherzinger, and Robin \"Blurred Lines, Indeed\" Thicke. One of them is eliminated, and on that person's way out the door, their identity is revealed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday night, we saw Peacock vs. Hippo, Unicorn vs. Monster, and Lion vs. Deer. Hippo, Monster and Deer (who are not, by the way, the partners in a Fisher-Price law firm) lost their battles. The judges eliminated Hippo, and Hippo turned out to be Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. Brown is a famous football player—famous enough that he's on the cover of the video game \u003cem>Madden 19\u003c/em>. But is he famous enough outside of football fandom to make that a fully satisfying reveal to a general audience when it's the only unmasking in the episode?

"content": "\u003cp>Netflix is hungry, and it's got its eye on a juicy slice of interactivity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The streaming service started its originals business with prestige dramas and comedies. But its appetite increases, and now it also wants to be your source for holiday schlock, baking competitions, home renovation shows, documentaries, animation, stand-up specials, and romantic comedies. And it's looking for new areas that it can own, new ways it can make itself essential, new worlds it can dominate. A new film that can follow a variety of paths depending on choices made by the viewer—a film that's almost a game—is the next direction it would like to stomp its giant feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>, a science fiction anthology series focused on the horrors of technology, was originally on British television. Now, Netflix makes it directly for its streaming service. On Friday, \u003cem>Black Mirror \u003c/em>released its latest installment, called \u003cem>Black Mirror: Bandersnatch\u003c/em>. Set in 1984, it's about a young programmer named Stefan working on a game adaptation of a famous \"choose your own adventure\" book. For those who aren't familiar, CYOA books (which really existed) are books where at certain points, the story asks you to make a decision. Something like, \"If you pick up the stick, turn to page 49. If you leave the stick on the ground, turn to page 51.\" And you would follow the story from there. CYOA was an elementary, low-tech version of interactivity, long before today's complex open-world games were available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The innovation of \u003cem>Bandersnatch \u003c/em>itself is that it functions similarly. While you're watching the film, on Netflix, on your television, a choice will come up on the screen, and you'll use your remote (or your computer or finger or whatever) to choose the option you want. The first choice, for instance, is what Stefan will have for breakfast from the two cereals his father shows him. Whichever you choose, that's what you see his father hand him. As you can imagine, the choices grow more significant than that later in the film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would have been good to see this technology demonstrated on a stronger story. While it obviously makes sense for Stefan to be developing a CYOA game inside a Netflix CYOA movie about him—that's kind of the joke—you don't really learn enough about who he is to care about him. Sure, he's getting angry and wondering if he's losing it while he works on his game, but that's pretty elementary \"isolated artist who might go mad\" stuff, and it doesn't really hold up a narrative on its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the story sags a bit, the execution is largely seamless. There's a lull in the action while you make each choice (if you don't choose, there's always a default option), but it generally doesn't actually hitch or pause or hiccup before it continues. It rolls right on, as instructed by you. Should Stefan say yes or no to a tempting offer? Should he take medication or not? Should he listen to the Thompson Twins or a compilation cassette?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XM0xWpBYlNM\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The novelty is interesting, and in a couple of places, the story flirts with some great ideas about control and free will that have a connection to the very fact that you are—to some degree—dictating the narrative you see. \u003cem>Bandersnatch\u003c/em> has a couple of classic \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>-ish tricks to spring, and on a first viewing (which might take you an hour and a half or so), they're a lot of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is a long way from being a fully developed concept that Netflix can deploy for other forms like romances or comedies (as representatives have suggested it might). There's just a distance, not yet bridged, between what a movie is and what a CYOA book is—let alone what a game is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first time you follow \u003cem>Bandersnatch \u003c/em>through to one of what Netflix says are its five endings, it quickly becomes tiresome to try to find others. Fast forward and rewind are of limited use—you can jump 10 seconds ahead or back, but only within the unbroken segment you're watching, between the last choice you made and the next one. That means you can't, for instance, make a choice and then jump back past the choice point and try the other one, like you can with a CYOA book. The software \u003cem>sort of \u003c/em>behaves like it remembers what you've already seen, but in part for technical reasons and in part because a lot of segments look alike and happen in the same settings and involve the same elements, you can't immediately say, \"Oh, I've seen this part\" and double back. (Again, this is crucial to CYOA navigation on paper.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for comparisons to games, in games where people are willing to try again and again to reach the end of a sprawling game, they're usually trying to solve puzzles or develop game skills. They have to figure out how to beat that monster, open that bridge, get past that gate. But here, trying to find all the variations is just a matter of guessing, wandering through binary choices until something happens that you haven't already seen. When the rubber hits the road, a film is still linear in a way that a book isn't. Trying to see what other options might lead to, I wound up watching scenes six or seven times that were not interesting enough to watch six or seven times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108199\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-108199\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Fionn Whitehead plays Stefan, a programmer creating a mid-'80s adventure game in 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-520x292.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb.jpg 1336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fionn Whitehead plays Stefan, a programmer creating a mid-'80s adventure game in 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch'.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are also some moments that I found deeply frustrating where there aren't really two choices—there's only one, in that the other creates a loop where you're simply shown the same segment of story again to force you into choosing the one that will actually move you forward. Similarly, Stefan jolts awake quite a lot, and sometimes it's clearly just a way to push you into a new situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More troublesome is the fact that because many choices lead to the same outcomes and many paths form loops, the story can't help but lose its narrative integrity as you experiment with it. When you've already seen it once all the way through and you keep exploring, you'll keep thinking, \"Did the event I'm remembering already happen in this version I'm watching now, or only in the first one?\" There's some effort to make this a feature rather than a bug with a lot of jabber about time and a story that is partly about losing your grip on reality. But that makes for a pretty flimsy explanation of what becomes a pretty tedious viewing experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to write all this off under \"they meant to do that.\" You could choose to believe that it's intentional that the story falls apart and that you become disoriented and can't figure out what's occurred in this version and what hasn't. But you're probably not supposed to be \u003cem>bored\u003c/em>, which I eventually was. And you're probably not supposed to realize you don't actually care what happens to any of the people, which I eventually did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a piece of television that is especially eager to convince you to view it more than once—multiple viewings with their attendant obsessives are surely one upside of interactivity. Unfortunately, it's especially poorly suited to being watched more than once. After your first time through, when you'll see most of the things that are interesting about it (including some that are charmingly self-referential bordering on \"cute\"), you're likely to experience rapidly diminishing returns as you try to find things within the story itself to pay attention to. In fact, you may even wind up aggravated, muttering to yourself, \"QUIT SHOWING ME THE SAME SCENE IN THE RECORD STORE.\" (Just, you know. For example.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experimentation is good. Just getting this thing onto a streaming platform in a workable and intact condition is a huge accomplishment. And parts of \u003cem>Bandersnatch \u003c/em>are undeniably clever. But this model is still the smart watch of television, if you will—kind of a cool gadget to mess around with, and good for certain things. But it's not anything you particularly need, and it's not ready to replace the things it might hope to convince you it can render obsolete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cem>Copyright 2018 NPR.

But its appetite increases, and now it also wants to be your source for holiday schlock, baking competitions, home renovation shows, documentaries, animation, stand-up specials, and romantic comedies. And it's looking for new areas that it can own, new ways it can make itself essential, new worlds it can dominate. A new film that can follow a variety of paths depending on choices made by the viewer—a film that's almost a game—is the next direction it would like to stomp its giant feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>, a science fiction anthology series focused on the horrors of technology, was originally on British television. Now, Netflix makes it directly for its streaming service. On Friday, \u003cem>Black Mirror \u003c/em>released its latest installment, called \u003cem>Black Mirror: Bandersnatch\u003c/em>. Set in 1984, it's about a young programmer named Stefan working on a game adaptation of a famous \"choose your own adventure\" book. For those who aren't familiar, CYOA books (which really existed) are books where at certain points, the story asks you to make a decision. Something like, \"If you pick up the stick, turn to page 49. If you leave the stick on the ground, turn to page 51.\" And you would follow the story from there. CYOA was an elementary, low-tech version of interactivity, long before today's complex open-world games were available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The innovation of \u003cem>Bandersnatch \u003c/em>itself is that it functions similarly. While you're watching the film, on Netflix, on your television, a choice will come up on the screen, and you'll use your remote (or your computer or finger or whatever) to choose the option you want. The first choice, for instance, is what Stefan will have for breakfast from the two cereals his father shows him. Whichever you choose, that's what you see his father hand him. As you can imagine, the choices grow more significant than that later in the film.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would have been good to see this technology demonstrated on a stronger story. While it obviously makes sense for Stefan to be developing a CYOA game inside a Netflix CYOA movie about him—that's kind of the joke—you don't really learn enough about who he is to care about him. Sure, he's getting angry and wondering if he's losing it while he works on his game, but that's pretty elementary \"isolated artist who might go mad\" stuff, and it doesn't really hold up a narrative on its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There's a lull in the action while you make each choice (if you don't choose, there's always a default option), but it generally doesn't actually hitch or pause or hiccup before it continues. It rolls right on, as instructed by you. Should Stefan say yes or no to a tempting offer? Should he take medication or not? Should he listen to the Thompson Twins or a compilation cassette?\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XM0xWpBYlNM'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XM0xWpBYlNM'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The novelty is interesting, and in a couple of places, the story flirts with some great ideas about control and free will that have a connection to the very fact that you are—to some degree—dictating the narrative you see. \u003cem>Bandersnatch\u003c/em> has a couple of classic \u003cem>Black Mirror\u003c/em>-ish tricks to spring, and on a first viewing (which might take you an hour and a half or so), they're a lot of fun.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this is a long way from being a fully developed concept that Netflix can deploy for other forms like romances or comedies (as representatives have suggested it might). There's just a distance, not yet bridged, between what a movie is and what a CYOA book is—let alone what a game is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the first time you follow \u003cem>Bandersnatch \u003c/em>through to one of what Netflix says are its five endings, it quickly becomes tiresome to try to find others. Fast forward and rewind are of limited use—you can jump 10 seconds ahead or back, but only within the unbroken segment you're watching, between the last choice you made and the next one. That means you can't, for instance, make a choice and then jump back past the choice point and try the other one, like you can with a CYOA book. The software \u003cem>sort of \u003c/em>behaves like it remembers what you've already seen, but in part for technical reasons and in part because a lot of segments look alike and happen in the same settings and involve the same elements, you can't immediately say, \"Oh, I've seen this part\" and double back. (Again, this is crucial to CYOA navigation on paper.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for comparisons to games, in games where people are willing to try again and again to reach the end of a sprawling game, they're usually trying to solve puzzles or develop game skills. They have to figure out how to beat that monster, open that bridge, get past that gate. But here, trying to find all the variations is just a matter of guessing, wandering through binary choices until something happens that you haven't already seen. When the rubber hits the road, a film is still linear in a way that a book isn't. Trying to see what other options might lead to, I wound up watching scenes six or seven times that were not interesting enough to watch six or seven times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108199\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-108199\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/pop/wp-content/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-800x450.jpg\" alt=\"Fionn Whitehead plays Stefan, a programmer creating a mid-'80s adventure game in 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch'.\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1020x573.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-1180x663.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb-520x292.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/12/2018/12/bm_bandersnatch_wide-2491fa1aba6020d4b8394c114674f41ab44a3edb.jpg 1336w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fionn Whitehead plays Stefan, a programmer creating a mid-'80s adventure game in 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch'.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There are also some moments that I found deeply frustrating where there aren't really two choices—there's only one, in that the other creates a loop where you're simply shown the same segment of story again to force you into choosing the one that will actually move you forward. Similarly, Stefan jolts awake quite a lot, and sometimes it's clearly just a way to push you into a new situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More troublesome is the fact that because many choices lead to the same outcomes and many paths form loops, the story can't help but lose its narrative integrity as you experiment with it. When you've already seen it once all the way through and you keep exploring, you'll keep thinking, \"Did the event I'm remembering already happen in this version I'm watching now, or only in the first one?\" There's some effort to make this a feature rather than a bug with a lot of jabber about time and a story that is partly about losing your grip on reality. But that makes for a pretty flimsy explanation of what becomes a pretty tedious viewing experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to write all this off under \"they meant to do that.\" You could choose to believe that it's intentional that the story falls apart and that you become disoriented and can't figure out what's occurred in this version and what hasn't. But you're probably not supposed to be \u003cem>bored\u003c/em>, which I eventually was. And you're probably not supposed to realize you don't actually care what happens to any of the people, which I eventually did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a piece of television that is especially eager to convince you to view it more than once—multiple viewings with their attendant obsessives are surely one upside of interactivity. Unfortunately, it's especially poorly suited to being watched more than once. After your first time through, when you'll see most of the things that are interesting about it (including some that are charmingly self-referential bordering on \"cute\"), you're likely to experience rapidly diminishing returns as you try to find things within the story itself to pay attention to. In fact, you may even wind up aggravated, muttering to yourself, \"QUIT SHOWING ME THE SAME SCENE IN THE RECORD STORE.\" (Just, you know. For example.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
