DEATH TO 2020: a perfect summary of this unlucky year!

Although this blog is dedicated to TV series, sometimes I must make an exception for your own good! That's why today I will recommend you a fantastic Netflix production that appeared on this site at the end of December 2020...

I decided to do it because some movies simply cannot be missed. Death to 2020 is a mockumentary created in collaboration with world-famous comedians. Hugh Grant, Lisa Kudrow, Samuel L. Jackson - these are just a few actors starring in this one-hour documentary. The idea of the creators of Death to 2020 was to give people a reason to laugh, summing up a year that turned our lives upside down.

The global pandemic and its consequences, political scandals, mass protests, natural disasters are the main themes of this mockumentary. At this point, you are probably wondering how it was possible to mock such a dramatic and catastrophic events? Believe me - the creators of Death to 2020 did the impossible. It turns out that we can see our reality from a very different perspective: we just need to keep a distance! Obviously, I'm talking about an emotional distance ;)

Lisa Kudrow as Donald Trump's spokesperson, or Hugh Grant as a homophobic historian are simply hilarious.

An hour in front of the TV will pass quickly and when you're done watching this fantastic mockumentary, you'll want more! Luckily for us, the creators of Death to 2020 have already announced the summary of 2021. And although we must admit that 2020 provided them a lot of material, my intuition tells me that 2021 will not disappoint them either...

Death to 2020 is now available on Netflix!

Good Behavior - one of the most underrated TV series in recent years

Do you know that feeling, when you watch a TV series, you become interested in it, and then it turns out that the production is not popular enough and is finally canceled? This is what happened to me after watching two seasons of Good Behavior. What a pity! I believe that if the show ever hit Netflix, it would be quite a success. Unfortunately, it never happened, probably for legal reasons... And although the series is considered a failure, I must say that I strongly disagree with this general opinion. What's more, I highly recommend watching Good Behavior to all of you! This is a unique opportunity to watch Lady Mary from Downton Abbey playing a junkie and recidivist speaking with an American accent!

She spent a few years there for stealing and multiple drug offenses. However, she gets out

The fourth season of The Crown - a true masterpiece!

There are some TV series that we don't watch but we are all aware of their value. The Crown falls into this category.  You don't have to love the British royal family to watch this show. What's more, I think that The Crown is a perfect choice for everyone who is rather skeptical about the idea of monarchy in our modern world.  Source: oldaintdead.com The Crown landed on Netflix four years ago. Since then, it became a global phenomenon. The series focuses on the life of Elizabeth II. The first season begins when she becomes the queen of the United Kingdom. The next seasons show us the following decades of her reign. We get to know Elizabeth not only as a queen, but we also become witnesses of her private life. We see how she interacts with her husband, her children, her sister, etc. We admire her dedicated service to her country but we can't ignore her indifference towards her own family feelings.  The fourth season of The Crown starts in 1979. Margaret Thatcher wins par

Little Fires Everywhere and a great family tragedy

Everyone who watched "Big Little Lies" on HBO must remember the role of Reese Witherspoon in this TV series. This time, this great actress has reprised the role of a typical American suburban mom, but her family is far from ideal ... Source: m.imdb.com Little Fires Everywhere is a series based on the novel by Celest Ng. Reese Witherspoon, known for her literary interests, decided to produce this series for the Hulu platform. She also gave herself a leading role in this TV series which of course helped her to promote it. Source: southernliving.com Her character - Elena Richardson is a woman in her 40s, a mother of four teenagers. The woman seems to have everything - a fantastic husband, a beautiful home, a nice job, and children to be proud of. Her life is close to ideal. Unfortunately, as we all know, ideals do not exist. Elena is a typical control freak and she can't communicate with her youngest daughter, the rebellious Isabelle. To be honest, their relation can be desc
