Death to 2020 2020

Perfectly captures the spirit of Brooker’s annual Wipe specials, with a bigger budget and guest stars. Great to see Philomena Crunk (Diane Morgan) on screen again. People who have seen the Wipes before may struggle with the humour. I’m not sure what American audiences will make of it.

I could watch Lisa Kudrow read a book in silence and still find it funny....

I loved it, i love how this is a mockumentary and documentary at the same time.

Who would have though there's a world outside the US/UK?
Certainly not me during this mockumentary

Just entertaining enough, mostly worth it for Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. It starts way stronger than it ends

Though it's curious to see that when they get to May and the BLM they switch to documentary and patch it up with a couple of bad, evident jokes about a racist Karen, a black Boris Johnson and such, all traces of subtlety and acid humor gone for practically the rest of the film.
I mean it's December, we've already seen plenty of pieces about it months ago, and much better ones. It wasn't funny nor informative.
And I wasn't eager to hear all about the election for 25 minutes straight either just a mere month later.

First half was very funny - typical British dark/dry humour, but once it got to the BLM part it just died. Not funny in the least - and it wasn't just because of the subject. Once past that however, it picked up again but not as funny as the beginning part of the show. 6.5/10

It made me genuinely laugh in bits and pieces.

Very suitable for Netflix. This is the made for TV mockumentary movie which would go unnoticed or wouldn't be made if it were not for Netflix.

Will be a tribal watch. Conservatives will hate watch it to prove their stereotypes of liberals and liberals will watch it because the other side lost.

The soccer mom was a bit over the top.

Will we ever see a mockumentary where both sides of the political landscape will see something that makes them question their political beliefs?

I doubt it:kissing:

I missed anything even remotely funny. At least the makers themselves say 'What a sh*tshow!'. Can't say I wasn't warned...

could have been funny but....

Didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so I just did both, simultaneously. HILARIOUS (and horrifying).

Although 2020 has been a tragic year and enough time has passed but this mockumentry had me laughing out loud.

Great comedy, got me laughing, and I'm glad for it, because 2020 was everything but not funny. :)

Let’s hope there’s no sequel...

Like reading your own tweets: sure its comedy but you knew all along what was coming.

A Black Mirror Mockumentary: well made, but considering 2020, it wasn't as funny as I deserved.

I loved Brooker's Wipes, which seemed to balance genuine insight about the nature of the news with cutting satire, but this is a highly watered down version of that which almost misses the point of what makes the Wipe series work. The jokes are flat, its targets fairly obvious, with celebrities over-performing their delivery, and it doesn't really move beyond broad brushed stereotypes.

I don’t know why are there so many bad reviews :man_shrugging_tone1: I totally liked it.

I had a good laugh watching Death To 2020. It's heavily centered around the US and UK, but then again these countries have been dominating the news the past year, so it isn't a complete surprise.

Although it mocks both ends of the political spectrum, it makes more fun of right wingers imo and of course they won't like being mocked.

it was ok, some jokes were actually good (the Star Wars joke cracked me up) and it was a good kick in the balls to the worst current sterotypes of people (mostly in the US). The only thing that i didn't like is that, as you most have guessed, it was mainly centered in issues in UK or US and the US election (so after a while it became boring; more if you take count that most foreign people like myself have been soaking unintentionally with all this crap through social media, even if we didn't care, for months). At least they showed it as the actual shit show that it seemed to every US outsider, but being the main story of the mocumentary, took away some points.

Besides that, i would give it a 7, because at least i laugh more than in modern comedies. Bonus points for Sam Jackson

kinda funny but not hahaha laugh out loud funny, nothing else to say.

I absolutely loved this, an amazing satirical look at the shitshow that was the year of 2020.

I really couldn't stomach even five minutes of this. It seems as it is turning millenials jokes into boomer jokes. Satire hasn't been as painfully unfunny as this.

Don't watch this. Just get on Twitter.

This is like a one hour SNL sketch. And they don’t even have to try that hard because all the satire keeps getting one-upped by reality

the part with Karen was just hilarious and yet so true

[Netflix] Despite the 18 screenwriters, this mockumentary doesn't find the right comic tone to be equally cynical and funny. It also doesn't help that it is exclusively focused on America and Britain, as if the rest of the world doesn't exist. It's a typical New Year's Eve comedy show turned into an international Netflix premiere. Charlie Brooker remains in the shadow of what he was.

I just celebrated New Year’s Eve by watching this MOCKumentary from the creators of BLACK MIRROR. It is irreverent with laugh out loud moments. It has a great cast giving us definitive farce. I highly recommend it if only for the sole purpose of getting the yuck out of our system so we can look forward to the new year. I give this film a 7 (witty) out of 10. [MOCKumentary]

I didn’t find it as funny as most did, it seems ... perhaps the old adage tragedy + time = comedy is holding true and simply, still being technically in 2020, not enough time has passed. Definitely some of the quips were humourous but not many laugh out loud moments for me.
