Death to 2020 is a Netflix mockumentary about the less-than-stellar events of the year 2020. It includes interviews with a host of fictional characters. I found this to be pretty amusing.
We've had a bad year, and it's nice to make light of all the awful trying stuff that has happened. The jokes in this work pretty well, and the show has fun with the documentary formula.
Great group of characters and cast. This even got Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. By far the best performances in this are Grant as a historian and Palm Springs' Cristina Milioti. Grant has really been given it his all these past few years to show he's a versatile performer and not just "the romantic movies" guy, and he does a great job of parodying the British authority on a subject. I won't spoil Milioti, as her character isn't defined in the trailer, but she's great and has the best line delivery in the film.
Understand that this involves American and British talents/creatives, so the emphasis is mostly on those respective countries. The film is only an hour and fifty minutes, meaning the year's events are gone through pretty quickly. I wished there was more time to go more in depth and over more subjects.
If you're conservative, you might not like the fact that the jokes are more from a liberal bent, but the films does poke some fun at the Left as well.
Overall, I recommend this. It's a fun time-waster.
