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.
|
2021-06-02 22:48:41 +00:00
|
|
|
I have never seen another film/TV show with a similar atmosphere.
|
2021-06-01 16:05:04 +00:00
|
|
|
The usage of bright colors is magistral.
|
2021-06-01 09:07:12 +00:00
|
|
|
Flashy yellow, green, red.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-06-01 21:14:57 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|
2021-06-01 21:14:57 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
|
2021-06-01 09:07:12 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
