    Fantastic cast struggles to make terrible writing funny

    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!

    Actually funnier a year on

    2022 is just days away as I write this. Netflix promoted this in their popular stream.

    I think this will split opinion, much like the satirical "don't look up", people will love or hate it.

    I found it funnier than "death to 2020", and didn't expect to find this as funny as I did, but the last four years of the state of the world have become quite surreal, and U. S. politics especially so. Laughing at it is a good "pressure relief valve". There's something to offend everyone!

    Better than 2020, Still Lacks UK Delivery

    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.

    It wasn't entertainment, it was political sniping "disguised" as entertainment

    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.

    Cynical Leftist propaganda, with comedy

    It has some good footage that I hadn't seen before. I think there was an attempt to make fun of the Liberals too, not just the Conservatives, but whoever made this was clearly a Leftist or Democrat leaning Moderate.

    Not many lol moments, but still an entertaining watch.
