Review: Death To 2020

It's fun, but only if your idea of fun is watching 70 minutes of Hollywood stars reading out jokes from The Mash Report.

Chris Bennion, The Telegraph, 27th December 2020

Review: Death To 2020 is too rushed

The 70-minute Netflix special should probably have been at least five times longer.

Review: Death To 2020 misses the Screen Wipe magic

It's not bad, but it is what it is. It's a recap with some characters going 'can you believe that?'

Tilly Pearce, Metro, 27th December 2020

Review: Death To 2020

Once people realise Death To 2020 isn't actually very Black Mirror-esque at all, but rather just a subpar year-in-review show - in the vein of Last Week Tonight only less sharp - I'm not sure why anybody would seek out this special.

Daniel Fienberg, Hollywood Reporter, 27th December 2020

Review: Death To 2020

It fast became a cliché to say that the spiralling dystopia of 2020 was like an out-of-control episode of Black Mirror. So it was probably inevitable that Charlie Brooker would be called upon to offer a satirical summary of the momentously awful 12 months, especially given his track record with the Wipe series for the BBC. The result is a wry, often bleakly amusing look at the year, albeit without the astringent personal bite Brooker normally brings to his year-end round-ups.

The Guardian, 23rd December 2020

Motherland Christmas special review

The slapstick carnage in this one-off episode - there's a broken nose, a toppled tree and an explosion of flour - is not as funny as the more low-key moments.

Alexandra Pollard, The Independent, 23rd December 2020

Motherland Christmas Special, BBC2, review

A hilarious dose of reality at a time of forced schmaltz.

Emily Baker, i Newspaper, 23rd December 2020
