About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a fast, biting recap of 2020 told through mock interviews and real footage; Not for you if you dislike edgy, politically charged humor or want a more global focus like Cunk on Life.
Pros: sharp mockumentary format; diverse satire and absurdity; strong ensemble performances | Cons: polarizing political tone; jokes feel repetitive; US-focused second half
