Yes, an actual flow chart.
Netflix dropped us a late Christmas treat in the shape of Black Mirror special Bandersnatch on Friday.
Our man Rory Cashin was quite taken with the “groundbreaking” piece of modern media, arguing that it will change television forever.
Not only that, but he also went and found all of the endings for you to discover, which took some serious dedication.
Sound like too much work for you? Fine, read on…
Bandersnatch is no ordinary episode of Charlie Brooker’s speculative sci-fi anthology show, more of a unique interactive experience, offering the viewer the choice to pick what direction the story goes at certain points.
It is essentially the TV equivalent of a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
However, unlike reading a Choose Your Own Adventure novel in your hands, you can’t just keep your thumb on the page and go back to the previous section if you get a bad ending.
Anyway, we have a solution.
As shared by Bandersnatch star Asim Chaudhry on Twitter, here is a flow chart detailing all the possible outcomes depending on which options you choose.

Wow. Just wow. That is so complicated.
Prepare to spend the rest of your weekend going through all the options.
Or, if that is making your head hurt, maybe just watch San Junipero again.
