Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Skunkyrate Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

rchalloner While the central premise of the series is a good one and deals with one of the central problems facing humanity today, what might have been a brilliant undertaking is spoiled by several factors. Firstly, the insertion of paranoid conspiracy nonsense which detracts from the main plot line.Secondly massive plot holes, including: improbable characters; a vast number of murders (many public) to which the police appear to be oblivious; a supposedly international conspiracy which only involves British people; and meaningless attempts to weave in real assassinations to the story, which have no relevance and have no historical basis. Thirdly, the extreme and graphic violence, which it seems, does not bother any of the reviewers. Also extremely disturbing is the number of children murdered throughout the series, which again, has not drawn any comments. This is what is so wrong with out society today; we are so inured to violence that we are prepared to accept any amount of it, however graphic and distasteful, in the name of entertainment. Yes it is well made, well acted and visually good, but that is not enough in my view, to overcome some of the truly vile aspects of this series. Handled intelligently it could have been so much more. A great disappointment.

donizback This is my first review on this site; I have many, many TV series but I have to admit, this one is seriously one of the best. I am such a fan of British TV shows!The story revolved around a number of strangers, meeting online on a forum, discussing about conspiracies and a comic book they all know about. Soon after, things starts to get dirty... well, you gotta watch it to know more! This show, in specific, has made me question if all the viruses are man made. I watched this show in a week and I question everyone as to what they think about the idea of killing people by viruses. Also, I totally loved Alexandra Roach and Paul Higgins' accent. I always smiled when they were on screen. Adeel and Neil were fantastic! Overall, a great piece of director and cinematography. I hope to watch something as good soon!

Voldsby Let me just say this right from the start; Utopia is a masterpiece! Not only is this one of the most intense and twisted shows I've ever seen, it's also absolutely beautiful! The cinematography alone left me in awe and don't even get me started on the soundtrack! This is not your typical TV show. In fact it's a whole lot more than just a TV show. It's an artwork that is being unfolded in front of your very eyes. The cast and their on screen dynamic is especially what makes this series so incredibly good. You have a lovely mismatch of so many different and perhaps a little odd but great characters, that just fit perfectly together. There's also plenty of humour, swearing and loads of "what the hell did I just watch?" moments, that just makes this even more enjoyable. This show is dark. Really dark in fact, and the amount of WTF moments and plot twists are enough to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout the entire series.There's only one major problem with this show: It got cancelled! After just 2 seasons, Channel 4 unfortunately had to pull the plug on this gem of a series, which is such a shame, and while it might remain one of the most underrated TV shows in newer time, you will certainly never find a show quite like this again. So, once and for all; do yourself a favour, and watch this masterpiece!

xtingley-81910 I would give this series a "10" rating, but had to say 9 because it ended way too soon. This show, along with the UK series Mad Dogs has made me a big fan of British TV series.Utopia's characters are a combination of everyday people who manage to also be quirky and weird at the same time, and the villains in the show are particularly creative and evil.One other thing that struck me is the cinematography is so much more vibrant; I don't think I've ever seen another movie or series with such intensity of colours. If people consider you to be a little strange, or artsy, or that you have a dark sense of humour...then this show is for you!
