    Actually funnier a year on

    2022 is just days away as I write this. Netflix promoted this in their popular stream.

    I think this will split opinion, much like the satirical "don't look up", people will love or hate it.

    I found it funnier than "death to 2020", and didn't expect to find this as funny as I did, but the last four years of the state of the world have become quite surreal, and U. S. politics especially so. Laughing at it is a good "pressure relief valve". There's something to offend everyone!

    Same but less eventful

    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.

    Fantastic cast struggles to make terrible writing funny

    Where is Charlie Brooker? This is like watching someone copy his previous work but not understanding why it was actually funny.

    Sad.

    Maybe this in itself is deliberate, making 2021 just that little but more grim.

    Bring back the end of year Wipe!

    Same Formula but a little less interesting

    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.

    Downgrade

    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.
