Black Mirror: Bandersnatch Review - 7 Ups & 2 Downs

4. The Stellar Supporting Cast

True to form, Bandersnatch is spectacularly cast across the board, and Fionn Whitehead is backed up by a terrific roster of acclaimed character actors.

For starters, Will Poulter is bizarrely cool and charming as famed video game designer Colin Ritman, while Alice Lowe is perfect as Stefan's concerned psychiatrist Dr. Haynes, and Asim Chaudhry is wonderfully slimy as Mohan Thakur, the enterprising head of games company Tuckersoft.

Everyone commits to their roles splendidly, ensuring that this is without question the best-acted CYOA film/FMV game ever made.

Fingers crossed its instant success could invite some A-list names to the table if Netflix decides to proceed with a follow-up.
