Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Review - 7 Ups & 2 Downs

5. It's Jam-Packed With Easter Eggs

Bandersnatch is absolutely jam-packed with Easter eggs, from neat little details of the mid-80s period, to hilariously on-the-nose nods to previous Black Mirror episodes - namely San Junipero, White Bear and Metalhead, the latter also being helmed by Bandersnatch's director, David Slade.

Video game fanatics may also notice a brief appearance from legendary game designer Jeff Minter, who appears fleetingly as a demented game designer driven to violent lengths by his obsession to create a sprawling, labyrinthine CYOA game.

Though there's inevitably still plenty of hidden nods and references for fans to discover, it's certainly another incentive to cycle back through the various story paths and seek out every last one.
