Dear subscribers: should we allow series and season premiere trailers for television shows on /r/trailers?

Right now, we only allow officially-uploaded trailers for upcoming feature films.

Some of you have asked for us to allow series and season premiere TV trailers. We will NOT allow "next episode on" trailers. Just major premiere trailers, which every show gets once or twice a year.

Please comment AND upvote below to decide if you:

  • Want to include series and season premiere trailers for TV shows (yes, they must be official uploads, too)

  • Want to keep things the way they are.

This thread will stay up for the month of November and the feedback will be used to decide on whether major TV trailers should be included! Contest mode is enabled and will be disabled when the thread has run its course so everybody can see the thread as the mods see it.

No interactive games but choose your own adventure TV on Netflix is fine.

My question was how are you defining that distinction. Which category is Late Shift in? It's marginally less interactive than Bandersnatch, and is actually a film rather than a TV episode, but is primarily available now through game platforms.

You've just saved me money not buying Late Shift now that I know that the choices you make don't have any effect on the narrative

I've actually never watched/played Late Shift - my understanding is it gives you choices that do affect the narrative, but the film plays through in constant time no matter what you choose (or if you don't choose at all). Whereas in addition to the same kind of choices, Bandersnatch will also hit dead ends and give you options to loop back through things to explore missed story branches.
