I've been busy so I can't draw much
That gun got passed around more often than a bts member in an army camp
and was absolutely dumbfounded about the hype surrounding the show
Is the british version better enough to be worth a rewatch if I didn't like the other one or can I go straight to the next season?
Watched a really good 7-hour video recently and got me thinking. Does anyone know whether…
Why Diel’s needed to be hereditary ? Janus didn’t need to be, I guess by definition it couldn’t be (unless it’s the resistance to Russian Flu).
Whether Philip intentionally made Janus so that it would not protect everyone from the Flu or whether it was an accidental by-product?
If the impact of Janus is as follows:
-Keeps Roma people safe from Russian Flu -Keeps Roma people fertile -Does not protect everyone else from Russian Flu -Makes everyone else infertile
As title , I watched (on prime) the series during COVID but would like to rewatch .
I actually bought the first 5eps (on prime) so can watch these but can't find the 6th ep of S1 or any of s2 available for streaming or purchase.
I'm on episode 3 and just heard it was cancelled. I was devastated when Mindhunter was cancelled right when things started getting interesting, does this show have the same problem? Or is there enough closure in these two seasons.
Apologies if this questions been asked before, but I don't want to risk searching and spoiling anything.
specifically smile 2 and ofcourse the piss series
i dont wanna o
I watched the series in one night at my brother’s suggestion. Overall, it’s not a bad show—the acting from Arby and Jessica is solid, the music and aesthetics are great, and it’s an enjoyable experience. However, I felt a bit disappointed. The series becomes rather predictable at a certain point and leans too heavily into the "oh, it's a conspiracy, the world is controlled, we must kill everyone" trope.
The whole idea of the Network threw me off a little. Throughout the series, they’re built up to be this omnipotent, shadowy organization capable of anything, yet they send two rather unstable brutish henchmen after the protagonists who only create unnecessary chaos and draw attention. I never really felt any dread or terror from them; they came across more like schoolyard bullies (special-needs school, to be specific) than professional assassins working for a powerful organization.
Additionally, the pacing is inconsistent—it speeds up, then slows down, with the plot seemingly trying to cover it up by throwing twist after twist. The overemphasis on how immensely powerful the Network is, combined with their Orwellian surveillance, felt a bit... cheesy. Instead of building tension, it mostly bored me.
I also think the show hasn’t aged well. There’s a certain meta-reference when, in the first episode, an editor tells Becky, “Conspiracies aren’t really… NOW.” And I kind of feel the same way—this didn’t resonate with me.
I rated the show 6 out of 10. Personally, I think it would’ve been great if they had leaned more into themes like No Country for Old Men and saved the whole conspiracy/Network reveal for the very end. It didn’t quite land for me, but I’m curious to hear other opinions before I consider watching the second season. Perhaps a rewatch or sitting with it longer might help, maybe I missed something.
Take care.
When he is literally wearing blue? Drives me mad.
Is there anywhere to watch Utopia season 1 currently that is a HD actually half functioning service besides a pirate site?
There was a series upload on YouTube but of course that got copyright struck and for some strange reason channel 4 don’t have it either? Want to watch it currently but can’t find anywhere other than pirate streamers with 360p potato quality and rife ads.
Plan on buying the blu ray but last I checked that was out of stock so any assistance on where to watch it presently would be appreciated, thanks in advance 🐇💉
Sasha lane is not my Jessica ;(
I have a few theories on what might happen if number 3 is dropped
I want to hear other theories too
I found that the original Utopia is actually available on Stremio, but I don't know if it is censored or not; plus, I can't even watch it yet because the app tells me I need to download some addons to stream it. I don't even know what addons I need so if someone knows how to watch it on stremio or if you know another alternative please let me know, thanks.
It's a massive credit to the show and it's casting that so many of the cast are having successful careers after the show.
To my knowledge, I think most of the cast were relatively unknown before Utopia. Since then, almost all of the cast have had leading roles in high quality films and TV shows. A lot of them seem to be BBC drama regulars (a massive compliment).
It seems Utopia nurtured some real talent. Some of whom may have big careers. A credit to the producers. That's all.
