Synopsis
Death to 2021 is a British-American comedy special from Netflix and BBC that you can watch online on iFILM. Charlie Brooker and Annabelle Jones — the team behind Black Mirror — assembled this 60-minute mock-documentary as a follow-up to their equally savage Death to 2020, turning the wreckage of another chaotic year into sharp satirical comedy.
The format blends real archival footage with scripted vignettes starring fictional pundits played by Hugh Grant, Laurence Fishburne, Lucy Liu, Tracey Ullman and William Jackson Harper. Each character skewers a specific brand of talking-head absurdity — the pompous British historian, the straight-faced news anchor, the enthusiastic American optimist — while the actual events of 2021 speak for themselves. It's the kind of year-in-review that works precisely because it refuses to pretend any of it made sense. Stream Death to 2021 online on iFILM.
