Comedy As the year we all want to end finally does, take a look back at 2020's mad glory in this comedic retrospective from the creators of "Black Mirror".

	Media	Author	Review
		Zack Handlen AV Club	"An unnecessary summary of a miserable year"
		Tilly Pearce Metro	"It’s not bad, but it is what it is (...) And seeing as we’ve all lived through it this year, that’s not quite enough (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Ryan Lattanzio IndieWire	"[It] proves Hollywood isn't ready to tackle the pandemic year — and, for now, probably shouldn't."
		Joel Keller Decider	"The cast is game (...) but there’s just not enough funny material for their performances to overcome the special’s structural problems."
		Chris Bennion The Times	"They may have assembled a dazzling Hollywood cast, but Charlie Brooker and Annabel Jones's documentary parody falls flat (...) It is a huge disappointment (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Tanzim Pardiwalla Mashable	"A recap nobody wanted. For a year that's been referred to as an episode of 'Black Mirror' one too many times, the showrunners missed what could’ve been a sure shot (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 5)"
		Eoghan Cannon entertainment.ie	"While 'Death to 2020' will definitely produce a generous amount of laughter from viewers at times (...), one can't help but think - why bother?"
		Ed Cumming Telegraph	"[It] is a mess and you’ll be glad when it’s over. In that sense, at least, it’s appropriate to its subject (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut	"Some of the writing is sharp, and there are funny turns of phrase everywhere (...) The problem is that we’ve heard it all before (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] simply lacks an angle other than to attempt to emulate a dispassionate and generic documentary"
		Nancy Durrant London Evening Standard	"Mostly it made you realise just how much you didn’t want to remember (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
