I preferred White Bear because it was much more captivating. The fact that I had no idea what was happening or why it was happening compelled me throughout. Both endings hit me like a ton of bricks, but with Shut Up and Dance I just felt annoyed by the main character's decisions (though I'm guessing that's obviously what Charlie Brooker intended so the ending would make more of an impact) and I didn't care for the other guy at all.

White Bear was a far cleverer concept too. I feel like the scenario that was set-up in Shut Up and Dance had been done quite a few times before. It reminded of that television film, Cyberbully, straight away. Not so much a bad thing, but I felt White Bear's plot was more intriguing. tbh, I didn't really know if I liked either of them straight after watching the episodes because they're both a bit too grim for my liking. Though, in hindsight I think I can appreciate the depth of thought that was put into White Bear.
