Remain voters watching Channel 4's Brexit drama have been joking that the show should be more like Black Mirror's Bandersnatch - where viewers get to choose their own ending.
Brits tuning into Brexit: The Uncivil War took to Twitter to compare the show to the interactive episode from Charlie Brooker's latest series.
The two-hour programme dramatises the characters and strategies behind the historic 2016 vote under the tagline: 'Everyone knows who won. But hardly anyone knows how.'
Brexit: The Uncivil War stars Remainer Benedict Cumberbatch as Dominic Cummings, the mastermind behind the Vote Leave campaign
Remain voters took to Twitter to joke that the show should be like Black Mirror's Bandersnatch - where viewers choose their own ending for the 2016 referendum
It features several defining moments, including Cummings unveiling the infamous coach that carried the banner claiming that £350 million of EU money could be poured into the NHS.
But remain voters have been joking the real-life based drama should offer up an alternative ending.
Trevor Ridler tweeted: 'Is this like Netflix bandersnatch and we get to choose a different better ending?'
George Swindale joked: 'At what point do we get to choose an alternative ending, Bandersnatch style?'
Scores of Twitter users compared Arron Banks' actor - Lee Boardman - to Robbie Williams
James Shaddock said: 'Banks ain't going to be happy with this portrayal is he?'
James Livingstone added: 'Benedict Bandersnatch. We can pick the better ending right?'
'The man who bought Brexit', Arron Banks
Arron Banks has been dubbed 'the man who bought Brexit' for how he bankrolled the EU Leave campaign.
The insurance broker, raised in Basingstoke, has donated millions of pounds to Ukip - and in 2016 backed the Leave.EU group with £8million.
He was pictured alongside Donald Trump when the US President met Nigel Farage in New York just days after his shock election victory.
But last November, it was announced that Britain's FBI had started investigating him over suspected crimes linked to the EU referendum.
It has been alleged he may have hidden the 'true source' of the loans linked to Leave.EU. But he has blamed 'intense political pressure from anti-Brexit supporters' for the police probe.
He is married to Russian Ekaterina Paderina and has five children.
And while Channel 4's two-hour long political thriller promised to look deeply into the campaign that split the country, other viewers were more interesting in the actor portraying Arron Banks.
Banks, portrayed by Lee Boardman, was compared to a 'morbidly obese Robbie Williams', while others criticised Benedict Cumberbatch's attempt at a Durham accent.
One user write: 'The #ArronBanks character looks like a morbidly obese Robbie Williams.'
James Shaddock added: 'Banks ain't going to be happy with this portrayal is he?'
Another joked: 'Didn't know Robbie Williams was in this.'
Other users chose to focus on Benedict Cumberbatch's accent - which was supposed to be based on Cummings' Durham accent.
Kerry Neale wrote: 'He's an amazing actor but Benedict can't do a north east accent, which just confirms Geordie as one of the hardest accents to imitate.'
One user joked: 'I would place Benedict Cumbersome's accent somewhere between Calcutta and Bishop Auckland via Cardiff.'
It features several defining moments, including Cummings unveiling the infamous coach that carried the banner claiming that £350 million of EU money could be poured into the NHS
Plenty of Brits were distracted by Benedict Cumberbatch's attempt at a north east accent
Matt Pilcher added: Benedict Cumberbatch's dodgy North East accent is making me feel ill.'
The behind-the-scenes account is based on books by Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman and Craig Oliver, the head of the Remain campaign.
The tactics employed by Brexit campaigners have come under intense scrutiny since the referendum, particularly the use of misleading slogans and targeted political ads.
In July, the Electoral Commission watchdog fined Vote Leave for breaking campaign spending rules.
How Dominic Cummings was the man behind the big red Brexit buses
Political strategist Dominic Cummings, 47
Dominic Cummings, the strategist behind Vote Leave, was visited by Benedict Cumberbatch in research to play him in the Channel 4 drama.
Mr Cummings's wife Mary Wakefield had feared the strongly pro-Remain actor would portray her husband as a villain.
But she said that when Cumberbatch appeared at her front door he was 'slight and polite' and had simply come over to get into character.
The Eurosceptic political strategist has been a backroom figure unknown to most of the general public despite his key involvement in the referendum.
But the 47-year-old was the man behind the infamous '£350million-a-week for the NHS' claim on red buses, and the 'take back control' catchphrase.
However, a year after the referendum, Mr Cummings said it was a 'dumb idea'.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
