Utopia

[REDTALISKER 73]

Anyone else been watching this? New conspiracy drama from Channel 4. Surprised it has not had a mention in the forum. I say new but it's five episodes in now with just one more to go but it's available on 4oD if anyone wants to catch up.

 

Not giving anything away it revolves around the search for a unpublished graphic novel. It's violent, weird but in a good way, beautifully shot, and has some fantastic memorable characters. I have not enjoyed a British TV series as much since Shadowline. I also love the soundtrack.

I thought it was a thread about R0y H0dgs0n beating 3v3rt0n

[Skidfingers McGonical 3,493]

My arl fella was an extra in the episode the other night. He was part of the surveillance team.

 

I haven't watched it though. Keep forgetting.

A comparison to the shadow line? I'm going to check it out

[Tyler Durden 357]

I think it's been quite good, fact that it was filmed in Liverpool was what made me watch it to begin with.

[PestiRed 3,210]

Caught this online and it's ok. Sometimes a bit hit and miss though

 

Not in the same league as shadow line

A great show, reminds me of the shows Channel 4 used to make.

So should I bother watching the final episode that I never got around to, due to being bored shitless by the whole thing? Seemed to have promise at the start but went rapidly downhill after that

I thought this was class. Opinions hey.

[manwiththestick 5,257]

I thought it was good, something a little darker and different to the normal stuff churned out.

[Chip Butty 3,031]

Best thing I've seen in years.

 

If you're blowing everything that gets in your way's head off, it can't be all that bad.....can it?

Anyone watch this? My best mate keeps demanding I watch it and he's usually spot on with his recommendations. 

[manwiththestick 5,257]

Watched both new episodes last night, I like it.

Caught some of one episode the other night because it had that nice ginger piece in from Game of Thrones, from what I saw it looked quality, might get the first season on DVD.

[Stu Monty 3,373]

Watched the first series in two nights last week and really enjoyed it. Interesting ideas, interesting direction and soundtrack and some good performances. The sound definitely had hints of The Shadow Line.

[Hand Shandy 2,471]

It's excellent.

Yeah, it is. We went through them last week.

Loved the 1st episode of the new series...loved the look and feel of it

[Spy Bee 3,535]

Just finished the second series. I do like it, but sometimes I think it insults the viewers intelligence.

 

 

Like the bit at the end when he managed to pump her stomach by doing CPR.

I think this happens a lot, and of course the whole premise is very flawed.

Yep, I thought exactly the same thing and found it spoiled what was a very good moment, if quite bleak.

[Adebisi 782]

Watched the first 3 episodes now and I like it, but think my mate hyped it up a bit much. He asked me what I thought of it and I said it was 'very channel 4' 

[Chip Butty 3,031]

Just been told that C4 won't be commissioning a 3rd series.

 

Considering they run with that Hollyoakes shite and them horrific 'I am actually your boss' wank stain programmes, they've got a massive fucking cheek.

 

Cunts!

Never mind we can still watch Google box and 8/10 cats.
