The verdict concerns the death of Netflix until 2020 of Charlie Brooker and his partner Annabelle Jones of the Black Mirror.
Adapted to a Brooker Screw Cloth and, more recently, an antivirus wipe released in May, Death in 2020 solves the biggest problems of the past 12 months.
The coronavirus pandemic, George Floyd’s protests and the American presidential election are all subjects that are covered in 70 minutes of ridicule.

The Evening Standard states that he stayed longer than expected throughout the year. However, critic Nancy Durrant praised female stars as brilliantly scary and Lisa Kudrow as White House press officer Jeanette Grace Susan.
The view over the pond was not so beautiful, as Daniel Feinberg of the Hollywood Reporter wrote: Death to 2020 is usually a piece of poor quality recycled political satire and a tired documentary parody for the year that will only seem fresh in your memory if you yourself are subjected to a severe media blackout since February.
It seems that if you’re a fan of Charlie Brooker’s previous work, Death by 2020 may not be your cup of tea, but you can always draw your own conclusions….
