This comedy event that tells the story of the dreadful year that was — and perhaps still is? The documentary-style special weaves together some of the world's most (fictitious) renowned voices with real-life archival footage.

Key opinion
Death to 2020 presents a polarizing mockumentary recap of a tumultuous year through the lens of celebrity caricatures. While some viewers enjoy its cynical, fast-paced satirical style, others criticize the project for feeling rushed, superficial, and overly reliant on one-sided political mockery.
| Acting | The star-studded cast delivers strong performances, with Hugh Grant and Samuel L. Jackson standing out for their portrayals of eccentric characters. | |
| Originality | The mockumentary format successfully provides a recognizable and humorous collage of the year's most significant cultural and political events. | |
| Humor | The humor is divisive: supporters appreciate the clever, cynical satirical style, while critics find the jokes low-brow, blunt, and ultimately unfunny. | |
| Theme | Opinions on the political content are split; some see it as biting social commentary, whereas others argue it functions as a one-sided, relentless propaganda smear. | |
| Production | The production quality feels inconsistent, with some viewers praising the tight assembly and others viewing the project as a rushed, kitchey attempt to capitalize on recent events. |
