Utopia (2013)
I wanted to write an article about the show a lot of people around never saw and I believe are just great. 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. 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.
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 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.
