I think it’s always 90 mins. Was enjoyable!
Good stuff. I was nervous reading your reply, in case of spoilers. Thanks for that. No more questions. Need to watch this before reading anything more about it!
Was interesting for sure.
I like the idea, but to be honest I think I'd have rather watched a normal style movie from them. Though the idea itself should lead to some good really movies where you make your own decisions.
For those who have done/watched it:

What ending did you get?
He died whilst in the Psych's room with mine. I first chose PAC (as opposed to TOY) as the password, and then when I went through it again I chose TOY, as opposed to PAX.
I want to know what PAX would have lead to for one, but after choosing TOY I think chose to go on the train with his mum, which seemingly led to his death in the psych's room. So I also wonder what would have happened if I chose NO to going on the train with her.
Also given that choosing TOY seems to lead to him having the rabbit as a child, and she is late and has to catch the train that crashes anyway, does that mean that it wasn't his or his dad's (in particular) fault?

I chose exactly the same options as you and got exactly that ending. Would also be interested to explore all the other permutations...
I was apparently wrong on this btw. As per the BBC, "... time can be reduced to around 40 minutes if viewers avoid "do-overs" - narrative loops that steer them back to the main story".
Interesting concept, worked quite well.
Don't open unless you've seen it! I managed to get all the endings detailed.
Didn't like it. The story is just..meh
Yeah I thought same. Concept is good but was just a bit of a dull story. Prob get praise for the idea which is fair enough I suppose
Was okay. Not a massive fan of it. It’d be very low on my list of BM favourites as a story (in any permutation) but I suppose that wasn’t the point.
Just watched it again and tried a few different answers this time.
Did anyone else try jumping out of the window? 
I liked the idea of playing out the story like a computer game, but I think it could have been done better. It feels very nonlinear and a bit confusing when the wrong choice sends you back quite far in the story.
I killed the dad first. Went to jail. Seemed fairly straight forward.
Then I went back and tried more outcomes. I didn't fully get the outcome where he gets on the train with the mum, but then dies while seeing the doctor. In that outcome, does the train not crash?

Yeah it was a bit meh. Cool concept though, would definitely like to see more.
It's basically Donnie Darko. Took me about an hour and a half, going on 2 hours.
Only thing I regret is not

jumping off the balcony myself.
what can i do this on? my telly or can i do it on my phone/tablet/pc?
I've been on this two and half hours now and still not boned the therapist
Decent but not original. Harold and Kumar: Escape from Guantanamo Bay DVD version does the exact same thing.
So I didn’t find this as cool as others as I’ve done this before!

To some degree very awesome, and scary, and funny, but also to me it became an absolute clusterfeck of a story without any point other than to creep us out. It isn't a movie, it's something else.

Hipsters these days
Here fishy fishy
It was good enough, yeah. Novel concept for a TV show (as far as I’m aware), but the obvious ramification is the quality of the episode being weaker without as much of a message, or just something that runs on your mind later about the episode.
I got the one where he stops taking his pills, kills and chops up his dad. The game ends up getting a flawless 5 star review from the TV reviewer, but the police later find and arrest the kid, and the game is controversially wiped from everywhere.
30 years later Colin’s daughter finds and attempts to recreate the game. She begins to fail and the options load up at the bottom for her to throw tea or destroy the computer...
I think that, or the ending where he chooses the toy feel like the most natural endings. The one thing that had been playing on his mind all this time he finally resolves, but is still made late and dies on the train.
How very Black Mirror.

Community did the time lines concept better, just like they did with Meow Meow Beans.
Fun concept but I didn’t think the story was great at all... watching through different scenarios after became a bit tedious very quickly.
Made me think that it would be cool to see a Netflix version of the Until Dawn computer game which is a similar concept. That would work much better I think.

The story wasn’t the greatest - think they could’ve fleshed out more about the Jerome guy, and more about his mum.
But it was a lot of fun, I watched it with a group of people and the interactive parts made it good

Colin literally disappeared for me, I thought it would’ve been better if they show him transcending timelines too, since he was aware of it.
Also when they revealed his mum wasn’t his actual mum, how did that make sense? I mean his house was on a set, so surely when he walked through that door he would’ve seen the lights, cameras, props etc?

I liked Spider-Verse... and the new Bros documentary.

If you select no options and let Netlfix choose for you it’s supposed to loop through all the endings.
There is a 'default' version available where the most popular 68 choices play.
Did anyone else get the ending where you tell him via the computer you're controlling him via an entertainment service called Netflix, he freaks out then in the therapist office she mentions how his life isnt very entertaining and asks if he would like to make it more entertaining? The choices were Yeah and Feck Yeah.. Thought that was hilarious

Did you leap through the window or fight?
I'm gonna watch these tonight
The Bros one (it’s on iPlayer) is the greatest inadvertent Mockumentary since Jon Ronson followed David Icke round for a month and a bunch of hippies destroyed the children’s section of a book shop with custard pies in a failed attempt to “silence him”
Its that good.
I fought and chose ‘feck yeah’ to more entertainment
Nearly choked from laughing after that
Heard a lot about this,how good is it,don't wacth series anymore
