Death to 2020

"What a shit show!"

NR 2020 · 71 min · ★ 6.5 · Comedy

2020: A year so [insert adjective of choice here], even the creators of Black Mirror couldn't make it up… but that doesn't mean they don't have a little something to add. This comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was — and perhaps still is? The documentary-style special weaves together some of the world's most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage.

Directed by Al Campbell · Written by Charlie Brooker
