I love the interactives on Netflix. I wish they would’ve made more episodes for the Minecraft one. It leaves me with a bad taste in my mouth the way it ends. The countless doorways to go through and then nothing… the end. I know that they would never do this but I cannot help myself from wanting to somehow see a Pokémon one! I mean Carmen Sandiego was cool but ya might be doing something like Shaun the Sheep.

Interactive more!!!
