    LOL

    Him or Philomena should appear on a future screenwipe complaining about it.

    Ditto. First mockumentary that I have really enjoyed watching. Nice to watch a light hearted retrospective on the year 2020.

    Thought that was quite funny.
    The sound bites for 2021 was hilarious.

    A few funny lines that made me smile but overall rather boring watch that was pretty much all US centric

    CB has sold his soul to pander to the US for Netflix

    I agree, it was very American and a smattering British except for a mention of the fire in Australia and footage of the Beirut explosion.

    Some of the actors were inherently unfunny and kept making the same jokes, like Phoebe from Friends, Hugh Grant as an old man and the person with the massive eyebrows who was supposed to be a right wing soccer mom.

    In fact, the narrator was the funniest thing about it. Really disappointing from Brooker. It being terrible is quite in keeping with the theme of the show, I'm sure he'd argue.

    That was really good but also really depressing at times. Wondering how much of it was actually scripted and how much was improv?! The 1 of the 5 most average people in the world (Diane Morgan) is extremely dry like that sounded like she was adding bits at times.

    Ah it had some laughs, but not even close the the standard of his old BBC wipes. And this year really deserved a UK wipe. He probably could have spent the hour on Matt Hancock alone.

    That was horrendous. Don't think I laughed once throughout the whole thing.

    Yearly Wipe was always a good watch but he'll never go back to that now. Unless to take the piss out of something like Death to 2020.

    Some laughs but mostly poor.

    The parts with the guy from Stranger Things doing YouTube videos was horrendously bad. Not a bit funny.

    Also find it quite cringy that they were all for making fun of the years events - Covid, Brexit, Trump etc. - but a big serious 5 minute montage of the BLM movement in the middle and not a joke in sight. Scared of any backlash.

    It was good for what it was , a simplified wipe for the Americans:)

    I've read a couple reviews on it and it really sounds dull, waste of some great actors

    Netflix Developing Spinoff to Black Mirror’s USS Callister

    "We’ve seen evidence that a spinoff of the episode is moving forward but unfortunetely, information right now is extremely limited. As a result, take this with a pinch of salt until any official announcement.

    It’s early days but the title is expected to be simply called Callister with no names attached.

    This isn’t the first time a spinoff for U.S.S. Callister has been floated. It’s been widely rumored since the release of that episode that it could be on the horizon.    "

    definitely looking forward to it, but can be very hit and miss. Hopefully the 3 years of a break gave them good time to come up with good ideas.

    Maybe they needed it. The majority of stuff is either mediocre or very poor.

    I think the only Black Mirror episode that I can definitely say was great was Shut Up And Dance.

    I loved this show but we now live in the dystopian world that it depicts. I also think satire is dead and after suffering through 20-30 minutes of Death to 2020 don't believe Brooker is any exception to that.

    Joan is awful

    ==========

    Really enjoyable and funny.

    Annie Murphy is excellent in this a really talented actress not surprised she was terrific in schitts creek and Kevin can f##k himself.

    Brilliant cast and some top notch cameos.

    Good premise and a very meta episode ha ha. I did guess pretty early that netflix...sorry streamberry had the rights to her life, who reads the ts and cs to be fair! A pretty rare "happy" ending too.
