I wanted to write an article about the show a lot of people around never
|
|
|
|
|
saw and I believe are just great.
|
|
|
|
|
[[https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/46511-utopia][Utopia (2013)]] UK version (not the US one) is one of these TV Show I
|
|
|
|
|
believe deserve more attention.

The *filmography* is quite original.
|
|
|
|
|
I have never see another film/TV show with a similar atmosphere.
|
|
|
|
|
The usage of bright colors is magistral.
|

|
|
|
Flashy yellow, green, red.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *soundtrack* is also pretty excellent and help the overall feel.
|
2021-06-01 16:05:04 +00:00
|
|
|
Also not the typical soundtrack you're used to.
|
|
|
|
|
A lot of originality here too.

|
|
The *acting* is perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
Actor are quite relatable, they looks and act as real people.
|
|
|
|
|
Not the (super)heroes you are used to.
|
|
|
|
|
We are far away from a every girl is a bimbo and every guy is a
|
|
|
|
|
Chippendales.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The *scenario*, in regard to the events related to COVID19 is just perfect.
|
|
|
|
|
This is focused on the complotist theory.
|
|
|
|
|
But this one turn out to be quite interresting and very close to the
|
|
|
|
|
current events.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-06-01 16:05:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The *Surrealistic Humor* atmosphere make the viewing experience quite
|
|
|
|
|
exceptionnal.
|
|
|
|
|
There is a mix between apparent nonchalance and extremely brutal violence.
|
|
|
|
|
It really puts you in a surrealist feeling.
|
|
|
|
|
People perform extreme violent acts as if there were no choice.
|
|
|
|
|
As if the act of violence was inevitable.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
As a conclusion, if you are looking for a very innovative TV show then
|
2021-06-01 16:05:04 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
