Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or you don’t have Netflix (let’s be honest, who really doesn’t have Netflix these days?), you’ve heard of Black Mirror. It has become so popular and successful that a pop-up shop based on one of the storylines has sprung up.
Bandersnatch is the interactive episode of Black Mirror released on December 28th by Netflix. In the short time it has been available, Bandersnatch has become wildly successful. With all this success, Netflix sought to promote the new version of the show even more. Hence, the pop-up shop. In Birmingham, you will find a little shop with an 80s theme and tons of Black Mirror Easter eggs.
The store in Birmingham is located next to Nando’s at the Grand Central shopping center. Though the store is not open to the public, you can get a pretty damn good view from the outside.
Well, there you have it, folks, the new Bandersnatch pop-up shop! I’ll be honest, I haven’t seen Black Mirror yet (don’t come for me pls), BUT I am totally impressed with this promotion tactic. I think I’ll go watch it now, so the shop did its job, and I didn’t even have to see it in person.
If you love all things Black Mirror, one of these episodes might get its own spin-off!
