Anyone watched Death To 2020 yet ? Opinions ? Won't get a chance till after all the football and American football today !
Watched it this morning, it was decent with some good stuff (and some absolute zingers, possibly the best of which was"the history books about this era will have to be written in crayon. By a dog."
) but a bit of a step down from at least the last couple of Wipe episodes. The shift towards more American (or perhaps just internationally well-known) guests is paired with a broader perspective and an archer, sillier/spoofier tone - apparently intentional, according to this Guardian interview from yesterday.
Some of it is definitely a bit more tired and weak than you'd expect from Brooker & Jones, and the election part in particular feels like it could have been distilled down to be sharper and funnier - in part because a year that's had everyone spending way more time on screens than usual has meant that we've already heard a lot of the jokes about the easier targets. On the other hand, I thought Leslie Jones, Samuel L Jackson and Hugh Grant were all on good form.0 -

I loved the Lisa Kudrow character / Kelly Anne Conway portrayal.Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

It is historically accurate and if you think otherwise then you're racist. 0 -

The colour blind casting does not bother me in the slightest but the tone alone should put anyone off believing it to be an historical drama.
In regard to the quote, every time at some point was the present and therefore we must question who controlled it and how that affects our perception of it as the past.0 -
