Anyone been watching 'UTOPIA' on C4?

cant believe you said that Andy…you like american series the most and they ALL end up seasons like that…:stuck_out_tongue:

Nah, not all, maybe half. Human Target did it and then got cancelled, Alpha’s did it and then got cancelled… that’s why I don’t like it! You don’t know how it finishes :frowning:

IT started out ok but got really boring and repetitive… all the characters use the same lines, there’s very little depth to it, the twist was mediocre at best and the ending is bland… I mean it’s an interesting idea and it’s kind of nicely shot but the excitement of watching the first two episodes is not kept up…

I loved it, I love the comic book feel to it - in the script (short and to the point) and the crisp vibrant visuals.

Finally got round to it last night - watched the first 4 eps - have to watch the last 2 tonight as it’s the last day for it being on ‘catch up’. Loving it, even if I’m going to be disappointed by the ending (from what you’re all saying). At least my expectations are low!

I think the series deserves a lot of praise and kudos for reasons stated in previous posts - but yeah - I agree - it got a bit repetitive in the last two episodes - the formula seemed to boil down to:

setup: you are my friend/enemy

plot turn 1: hang on you are my friend but now you are pointing a glock at my head . . .

or

plot turn 2: wow you just saved my life although I thought you were my enemy etc . . .

the twist being:

hang on you are my friend but now your pointing a glock at my head . . . but you turn out to be my friend after all.

or

wow you just save my life although I though you were my enemy etc . . oh - you actually are my enemy as you’ve just put me in a dungeon/are pointing a glock at my head etc.

On balance it’s worth watching and was high quality.

No-one’s mentioned it this year. Just finished watching Season 2, very good again I thought.

its still awesome. the speech at the bus station, never truer word have been spoken. bit disappointed about Jessica though, she’s gone way too soft in the end.

Season 3 and 4 to come !!
