Death to 2021

Where is Charlie Brooker? This is like watching someone copy his previous work but not understanding why it was actually funny.

Sad.

Maybe this in itself is deliberate, making 2021 just that little but more grim.

Bring back the end of year Wipe!

A repeat of quality of Death to 2020, Charlie Brooker's writing is still brilliant, but again isn't as hilarious when performed by US actors. Having Fishbourne as narrator seems a good draw, but ultimately isn't as scathing or as well-timed as Brooker (in his Yearly/Weekly Wipes). Unfortunately Netflix always skews to the US and ignores the UK talents that made the show great in the first place.

US and UK centric, heavily focusing on the former, the main events of 2021 are summarised and put into context, with varying degrees of humour. Diane Morgan easily provides the standout character, who is hilarious in her delivery.

Important and sensitive topics are covered well with a level of explanation hidden below the cartoonish characters. Not as good as Brooker's previous reviews, but better than 2020 and still worth watching.

I'm not sure if it's because 2020 had a far worse tale to share or this film felt too repetitive? They used the same formula but had fewer laughs. Not to say it's uninspired or disinteresting - it's definitely a fun mockumentary to watch. I was just hoping for more?

My issue is for a movie that mentions diversity a lot, there doesn't seem to be much in the movie in terms of country. They made it feel like all the events revolves around how U. S. and U. K. and it's people see the world. It would be interesting to add perspectives from other citizens of the world.

• Here's to hoping we don't get another sequel for 2022 cause that would mean, the world went through another hell ride.

The media has this year again shown itself to be empty of substance and void of any in depth examination and I was really looking forward to a programme having real guts in its examination of people and subjects. Death to 2021 continued the narrative everyone already hates - a biased one.

Fox News is awful, CNN is awful, neither have anything to do with news - If a satire programme cannot see its own bias towards either of these ideologies, the blind spot becomes the comedy.

Comedy can really bring people together when it shines a light on the absurdities we are all subjected to all the time, especially after a year like this one. This was missed.

Hugh Grant and Diane Morgan are still great but this was a real wasted opportunity.

South Park seems to be the only programme having a real go at showing corporate and political craziness on both sides.

After the first 5 minutes being dedicated to sniping the right i turned the damn thing off. While i'm for neither side, i don't like political sniping films and this more than qualifies. It's pathetic how far one side will go to attack the other and i've seen the left do it far more than the right ever will in a decade. It's another sub-genre of "Trump attack films". Andm, considering the clown we have as a president now, these morons didn't bother to look at the "entire" view of things.

It's funny, but not for true comedic reasons. It's funny because it's so blindly obvious these people spent the whole film attacking things/people they didn't like, not actual comedy.
