Utopia (2013 UK Series)
« on: January 23, 2013, 03:42:57 AM »


Wikipedia

Started last week on Channel 4. Almost skipped it because a conspiracy thriller involving a comic book graphic novel didn't sound too appealing to me. After just watching the pilot, I'm glad I didn't, though, because it's nicely weird and stylish in a very f**ked up way. Also, is this the first TV series in 2.40:1?

Not seen this but Channel 4 are known for being quite experimental with everything so I'm interested in checking it out some time.

Wow, just watched the first episode and it was really pretty good.  Not as extreme as the new Fox series The Following with Kevin Bacon, but just as creepy.

From what I have read this is just a 6 episode series so will see how it goes.  I ill be interested in what others think about this one.
Thank you
David

I'm watching it and I'm really liking it.

I can't really compare it to anything else though, it is unlike anything else I watch.

Lovemoneky187 .. have you caught "The Following" airing in the US on Fox?  Just as intense.
Thank you

I've watched the pilot of The Following and don't have any intention to continue. Not comparable at all, IMHO.
