i engaged with it over several viewings but would in no way say that i enjoyed it or thought it was great {nm} Mar 13, 11:40
Your idea of enjoyment is probably not the same as Netflix's idea of "a huge hit". {nm} Mar 13, 11:43
but that's the whole problem with their metrics. eyeballs over time doesn't necessarily mean the same thing as popular {nm} Mar 13, 11:50
Surely this proves the success of Black Mirror as a brand rather than choose-your-own-adventure as a format {nm} Mar 13, 13:07
They have stats showing multiples viewings of this particular episode, while others won't get the same repeat viewings. {nm} Mar 13, 13:11
but only because you have to do it over and over to get all the endings, or if you hit a dead end and have to start over {nm} Mar 13, 13:22
Exactly. Wonder if the Minecraft series (also CYOA) is successful as well? {nm} Mar 13, 13:29
Therefore, it's the format. Stats are what Netflix cares about. {nm} Mar 13, 13:35
but it's literally creating a type of show engineered to juke their stats {nm} Mar 13, 13:47
How long until Netflix creates, "Spin the Wheel, see an Outcome" with new outcomes each week! {nm} Mar 13, 15:33
Black Mirror may have drawn to the first viewing, but repeat viewings are due to the format. {nm} Mar 13, 14:08
