Maybe if they would’ve listened to me their show wouldn’t have gotten cancelled. Hyde, and I heart you also, as well! So we can “bury that body” now, what with the thorough explanation I’ve just given you, aka FOR REALSIES THE TRUTH!” Hyde: “oh, she was ACTUALLY - are you sitting down, team? - she was team bad guys, I de-mapped her accordingly/sorry to you all, my good guy team, for lying, but we weren’t so tight then, I perceived a lack of grip-having amongst y’all, but we are real now, don’t you find? I’ll call it though, that’s a “my bad” - I could’ve just “let it lie” harhar, as you all seem to feel almost entirely positive towards me, J. TL DR ~ I finished the season, 40% CERTAIN AF that it’d wind up like I guess not really all that good? Stuff like that?

Now that I’ve given the show/books WAY too much time, his and Brienne’s chapters take the proverbial cake…īut here, in this Utopia-verse which we are talking about, have been talking about it’s like…. Well played, my fairest Railroad! But on the for real, Jaime’s storyline was originally just, to me, bad guy soup.

Truly don’t judge him by his past mistakes, nobody’s perfect, and stuff like that! But all this from the quintessential ruggedly handsome scandinavian? Jaime’s ‘character arc’ - so this selfish, slimy, oozing with elitist-ness, preternaturally adept NOT ONLY at the defenestration of children but also at making lazily self-worshipy quips throughout said kiddie-defenny… and he’s human after all, so the ensuing and really-quite-rapey pound-sesh with his twin sister is telegraphed/beyond routine. But the concepts and characters don't quite come together to create a show worth watching.I “hear you,” but just… I can’t allow that, sir. With his loopy line readings and unnerving stare, Christopher Denham ( Billions) also breathes some life into his stock grim-hitman-on-a-mission role, and John Cusack, too, is a reliable kick. What is this story about and who's important to watch? With her everygirl vibe and a big juicy speech where she takes comic fanboys to task, Lily feels like creator Gillian Flynn's mouthpiece, but she feels insubstantial, tasked with doling out exposition but not a character we're eager to get to know.įlynn's most interesting creation is Grant (Javon "Wanna" Walton), a middle schooler posing as a wealthy adult to his cadre of conspiracy theorist buddies who actually does wind up pulling off some very adult stunts. By the end of the first episode, we've met dozens of characters, each of whom only gets a brief turn in the overcrowded pilot, and some of whom are abruptly dispatched.

A show full of kooky plot elements that are also emotionally involving sounds great, but Utopia stumbles on that front. This show ultimately feels a lot like somebody who commandeers your attention at a party: eager to impart far-out stories, but less interested in making sure said stories land with its audience. The cast is diverse in terms of age, race, and ethnicity, and women have strong, central roles.

#UTOPIA UK TV SERIES#
Positive messages are few and far between, but viewers may glean a few messages about loyalty to friends and staying true to principles. Utopia is a British thriller drama television series that was broadcast on Channel 4 from 15 January 2013 to 12 August 2014. Language is frequent: "f-k," "f-king," "s-t," "assh-e," "bitches." Adults drink at gatherings and parties some get drunk and get sloppy and sexually uninhibited. Sexual content is less frequent characters have a sweet romance with kissing and references to off-screen sex a man intends a one-night-stand with a woman and brings her to his hotel room (they do not wind up having sex). There are also references and visuals related to epidemics like Ebola and SARS, which may disturb viewers familiar with COVID-19. Expect characters to die horribly in the course of the series. Violence is intense and frequent: characters are killed suddenly, violently, and on-screen: shot point-blank in the head with blood and gore, stabbed with syringes in an incident staged to look like deaths due to IV drug use.

Parents need to know that Utopia is a dark series about a mysterious comic book that's the subject of a deep state conspiracy, and the young comic fans who try to unravel it.
