Most of us want to forget this year because of all the political, health and environmental calamities, so why would anyone want to watch a comic doc about it? Because it’s funny as hell! The creators of Black Mirror have shown their lighter side in this very clever, witty review of the highlights and lowlights. Some well known actors have a great time playing characters who are often clueless, including Hugh Grant, Samuel L. Jackson, Lisa Kudrow and Tracey Ullman (as Queen Elizabeth). When the subject gets serious, the creators have managed to maintain integrity, while finding satirical ways to broach every subject successfully. This is a great way to help put 2020 behind us…with a big grin.
