I wanted to write a few articles about great shows lot of people around me
do not know about.
[[https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/46511-utopia][Utopia (2013)]] is one of these TV Shows that deserve more attention.

The *filmography* is quite original.
I have never seen another film/TV show with a similar atmosphere.
The usage of bright colors is magistral.
Flashy yellow, green, red.

The *soundtrack* is also pretty surprising original and enjoyable.

The *acting* is really great.
Actors are doing a great job and are quite relatable.
These are not the (super)heroes you are used to.
We are far away from shows where every girl is a bimbo and every guy is a
Chippendale.

The *scenario*, in regard to the recent events related to COVID19 is just perfect.
I do not want to reveal too much.
But let's just say the current real events are close to the events
predicted in this show.

The *Surrealistic Humor* atmosphere make the viewing experience quite
exceptionnal.
There is a mix between nonchalance and extreme violence.
It really feels surrealist.
In this show some people act with extreme violence as if there is no choice.

As a conclusion, if you are looking for a very innovative TV show then
search no further this one is a great original choice.
If you are still unsure, just watch the opening scene, it is quite incredible.

ps: Also try to get the original content. Amazon Prime apparently cut some
very important scene and also changed the ratio which hurt the very good
image work.
