I really enjoyed the 2020 one but I found this edition much less entertaining. I guess the year just wasn't as interesting to comment on.
They brought back probably my two favourite characters from the previous one in the average British and American woman and added a news woman who I thought was a lot of fun as well so there were definitely moments I found hilarious.
Again the majority focuses on America but they manage to squeeze in a few moments of world news.
Overall just not very funny for my taste and the commentary wasn't exactly groundbreaking.

I thought it was very entertaining with the footage of the year and the interviews although I found this time Hugh Grant as the pompous professor and Diane Morgan as dimwit Gemma tended to get on my nerves and both had to much screentime and neither were very funny. Others however Cristin Milioti (Kathy Flowers) , Stockard Channing and Tracey Ullman characters were quite funny. Its was very watchable.
A repeat of quality of Death to 2020, Charlie Brooker's writing is still brilliant, but again isn't as hilarious when performed by US actors. Having Fishbourne as narrator seems a good draw, but ultimately isn't as scathing or as well-timed as Brooker (in his Yearly/Weekly Wipes). Unfortunately Netflix always skews to the US and ignores the UK talents that made the show great in the first place.
US and UK centric, heavily focusing on the former, the main events of 2021 are summarised and put into context, with varying degrees of humour. Diane Morgan easily provides the standout character, who is hilarious in her delivery.
Important and sensitive topics are covered well with a level of explanation hidden below the cartoonish characters. Not as good as Brooker's previous reviews, but better than 2020 and still worth watching.

I'm not sure if it's because 2020 had a far worse tale to share or this film felt too repetitive? They used the same formula but had fewer laughs. Not to say it's uninspired or disinteresting - it's definitely a fun mockumentary to watch. I was just hoping for more?
My issue is for a movie that mentions diversity a lot, there doesn't seem to be much in the movie in terms of country. They made it feel like all the events revolves around how U. S. and U. K. and it's people see the world. It would be interesting to add perspectives from other citizens of the world.

- Here's to hoping we don't get another sequel for 2022 cause that would mean, the world went through another hell ride.
It has some good footage that I hadn't seen before. I think there was an attempt to make fun of the Liberals too, not just the Conservatives, but whoever made this was clearly a Leftist or Democrat leaning Moderate.
Not many lol moments, but still an entertaining watch.
