FLUFF Utopia

Please, if you are seeking to fill the black mirror hole, try UTOPIA!!!! This show was amazing 🤩 it came out on channel 4 right before black mirror and has that same British dystopianess as the great eps of bm. Give it a go guys…

A crime they cancelled it after just two series, particularly as it ended on a cliffhanger!

Definitely should have made more. I quite enjoyed the American version as well but it was no where near as good as the English, but that usually the case when they redo an English program. Was hoping they carry the story on but it just didn't do well,

Not to be confused with the excellent Australian 'Utopia', which was like The Office, but set in public services.

I always saw Utopia as Australia's successor to Yes Minister.

It started out over a year after Black Mirror started.

Loved it but kept getting distracted by the backgrounds 😆 (lots was filmed in my city)

I feel like it was way ahead of it's time. I remember telling everyone about it at the time but I didn't know anyone else in real life that watched it. It was phenomenal.

Set up Stremio with Real Debrid (a small monthly fee but well worth it).

Get the right version, try to find the unabridged uk original version.

Aspect ratio, colours and one very dark scene all preserved.

It is superb.

But it’s just cancelled out of nowhere. So watch it knowing that you be disappointed eventually.

It’s dystopian and dark af but I’d be hesitant to draw a direct parallel to BM.

A massive shame it got cancelled out of the blue - it was a fantastic series.

I forgot about this show. It was great. Also recommend.

I always recommend it. There's a remake on some streaming sites and that was nowhere near as good. I think it got cancelled pretty fast. Utopia (UK) is also visually stunning. I love it.
