Yearly Departed

7/10

In this comedy special, a group of female comedians, including Tiffany Haddish, Sarah Silverman, and Rachel Brosnahan, attend a funeral for the year 2020 as they each do a eulogy tackling something that people lost during that year. 

Yearly Departed is alright. There's some good jokes and material here. However, I found nothing to be laugh-out-loud funny. I also didn't like the gimmick of the other comedians reacting to whoever's doing the stand-up. These reactions often feel forced and took me out of it. (Not to be surprised things didn't feel natural since due to COVID, a lot of the reactions were filmed without anyone up on stage.)  

I really can't strongly recommend or not recommend this. If you're a big fan of one the comedians in this, this would probably be worth a watch if you like them in most things.
