Sep 26, 2020Not even comparable to the original by Channel 4 back in 2013-2014. Heartbreaking and incredibly disappointing.

Sep 26, 2020Drivel. This barely watchable, paltry imitation takes the subtly woven plot points of the original and violently forces them down your throat in the first episode. That's to say nothing of the utter lack of even an effort towards the artistry of the original which is as enthralling and outstanding today as it ever was. Even if this remake wasn't heresy, it's still utter trash.

Sep 26, 2020I will give it two stars for the two watchable episodes which lead the series. If nothing else, I am intensely interested in seeing the BBC series whom which they adopted this effort. A pity it is proving so elusive to find streaming in the US.

Nov 11, 2020Nowhere near as good as the British version in every aspect and then they go and kill the main lead of the show just to Game of Thrones you... But this time it didn't work because it happens in episode 2 (way too early) and Rothe/Sam is the only watchable actor and character in the show. That leaves you with no characters to root for unlike Game of Thrones. Bad, bad writing....

“Utopia” thinks big to erect its overarching structure, but thinks small to give that structure its support. And it’s loaded with great work from its cast, particularly Lane, a talented actress with a gift for slipping in and out of genres and easily fitting into each.
-
Like all conspiracy theories, Utopia’s central narrative ends up being a bit too grandiose and hokey to be entirely believed—which is sort of a relief, given how psychologically enveloping the conspiracy is for the first few episodes. But maybe that’s why I found it unnervingly compelling, too.

Even with its end-of-the-world urgency, this Utopia still feels sluggish, muddled, unfinished. It’s as if someone went to great pains to restore a classic car, added their own custom interior, and then forgot to fill up the tank with gas.
