    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Yearly Departed' received mixed reactions for its humor, honesty, and cathartic experience. Many praised performances by Tiffany Haddish, Natasha Rothwell, and Sarah Silverman. However, some criticized it for being in poor taste, overly political, and not funny. The vulgar content and suitability for certain audiences were points of contention. The special's comedic approach to serious issues was both refreshing and tone-deaf, sparking varied reactions.

    Summarized 2020 up nicely !

    I don't think that this should be labelled comedy, maybe they didn this because the women arecomedians and the setting was kind of like a roast. I think it was really good because it was so true!!!! Best parts were the 2020 goodbyes from Sarah Silverman to MAGA 🙌, Ziwe Fumudoh to Beige Bandaids 🙌 and finally Rachel Brosnahan on Pants ! Also loved Natalie Leggero's points on being a mom during lockdown 😂

    This was a lot of fun. Smart, witty, cute. Bad reviews are clearly political.

    Seriously, there used to be a time when we could all take a joke or two. I know things have been tough, but you have to be able to laugh at stuff. Its only human.

    Funny spirited show with a great team full of amazing energy. Watch the behind the scenes during credits to see how cleverly they made the film during Covid.

    Not for me

    This is not for me. I didn't find it funny, and didn't laugh once.

    Take the "hate reviews" with a grain of salt

    Comedy is subjective, so pretending your opinion will matter to anybody else when it comes to that is kind of silly (friendly reminder that Larry The Cable Guy is worth over $100 million). Personally, I thought there was some great material, and some slightly more obvious stuff that just kind of fell flat with me.

    In terms of raw talent, great lineup of comedians/actors and it's really technically impressive what they were able to pull off (which you get to see at the end of the film). Unfortunately, I think the fact that all of it was ultimately digital kind of adds to some of the downsides of the whole piece. In a lot of ways they weren't able to play off each other in a normal context, which really is such a huge part of comedy. I don't think they needed to consistently have reaction shots from the other actors when one was giving a eulogy. That took me out of it a bit. And some of the acting did kind of come across as over-the-top (again, likely because of the circumstances).

    Ultimately, I thought it was a clever way to put together a comedy special for this year and a great opportunity to shine a light on some really talented folks. And anybody who is surprised by some of the views expressed in these bits probably doesn't follow the comedians themselves.

    That said, Amazon tends to be one of the first places people go to "hate review" something if it's perceived as political or trying to "even the scales" by giving representation to underrepresented groups (i.e. women and women of color in comedy). So ignore those, watch the first few bits, and decide if the humor fits your mood/style. If it does, then it's a nice little end to the year.

    Make America Good

    Funny, real, very tongue-in-cheek while also being brutally honest. Ignore the negative reviews that reek of racism and fragile masculinity. This is a good way to say "adiós" to 2020 and welcome in some of the few silver linings of this year into 2021.
