2020 is over, what film and television works are most suitable for the end of this year?

Black Mirror creator Charlie Brooker's "Death to 2020" with Netflix couldn't be more fitting. Translated as "2020 to Die" or "Never See 2020", it is a pseudo-documentary that takes us back to the year in a dark comedy way.

We also have a lot of origins with the "Black Mirror" series. Its third and fourth seasons and the interactive movie "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" were all broadcast at the end of the year. We have organized multiple The city's offline "Black Mirror New Year's Eve" activities, the largest one was "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch" in 2018, nearly 2,000 people in 22 cities spent New Year's Eve together, it was really unforgettable memory.

Death to 2020 quotes

  • Tennyson Foss: Polarization is the problem of our age. And not just in America, in the actual world too. Whether the debate is over Trump or Brexit or science or gender, God help us, or reality itself, no two factions can agree, or agree to disagree, or even agree that their disagreement might be disagreeable.

    Director: I'm not sure I totally agree.

    Tennyson Foss: Well, then why don't you fuck off?

  • Narrator: Throughout 2020, the gods of Silicon Valley stand accused of allowing their products to split the world into two warring factions.

    Bark Multiverse: Um.. Actually it's more like four warring factions. We prefer to call it a hate spectrum. That's the official term.

    Director: Right now it takes about six months' exposure to social media for the average person to become hopelessly radicalized.

    Bark Multiverse: I know right? We're hoping to get that down to five minutes.
