Who would have though there's a world outside the US/UK? Certainly not me during this mockumentary Just entertaining enough, mostly worth it for Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson and Hugh Grant. It starts way stronger than it ends Though it's curious to see that when they get to May and the BLM they switch to documentary and patch it up with a couple of bad, evident jokes about a racist Karen, a black Boris Johnson and such, all traces of subtlety and acid humor gone for practically the rest of the film. I mean it's December, we've already seen plenty of pieces about it months ago, and much better ones. It wasn't funny nor informative. And I wasn't eager to hear all about the election for 25 minutes straight either just a mere month later.

Like reading your own tweets: sure its comedy but you knew all along what was coming. A Black Mirror Mockumentary: well made, but considering 2020, it wasn't as funny as I deserved.

I loved Brooker's Wipes, which seemed to balance genuine insight about the nature of the news with cutting satire, but this is a highly watered down version of that which almost misses the point of what makes the Wipe series work. The jokes are flat, its targets fairly obvious, with celebrities over-performing their delivery, and it doesn't really move beyond broad brushed stereotypes.

First half was very funny - typical British dark/dry humour, but once it got to the BLM part it just died. Not funny in the least - and it wasn't just because of the subject. Once past that however, it picked up again but not as funny as the beginning part of the show. 6.5/10

Perfectly captures the spirit of Brooker’s annual Wipe specials, with a bigger budget and guest stars. Great to see Philomena Crunk (Diane Morgan) on screen again. People who have seen the Wipes before may struggle with the humour. I’m not sure what American audiences will make of it.
