Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

I want to give British movies a chance but they are simply bad and boring. The colours are bad, like a stupid dream Nonsens story Unwatchable for me, can't see more than 2 episodesI want to give British movies a chance but they are simply bad and boring.

I finished this series in 2 days and it was brilliant! All the characters are very likable and I especially liked Neil Maskell as this damaged antisocial man who only knows how to kill, he was actually hilarious at times and by the end of the series you grow to love his character even after the atrocities he commits during this series (some of the stuff he does is really bad). Nathan Stewart- Jarrett was also brilliant and I had previously seen him in Misfits (which I also loved). A lot of people I talked too always said he was the weakest character in Misfits but in Utopia he gives a GREAT performance with many emotional scenes that were handled spectacularly. One more actor I would like to mention is Fiona O'Shaughnessy who I personally thought was extremely attractive and a great character in the series playing this psycho girl who is a killing machine. Everyone else was great too but these were my top 3 of the series. The story in Utopia is completely original and I had never seen anything like it, pair that with the bright colors used in the cinematography (the colors obviously being symbolism for "Utopia" as the show is called and is essentially about) and these differences make this show very very unique. The violence in the show is pretty graphic at times (the torture scene in the very first episode was brutal) however there are a couple of death scenes that looked very bad. All of the blood and gun fire special affects have been digitally added and barely any prosthetic effects/blood is used. There are a few scenes where it's so obvious that the blood is digitalised and it really killed the vibe for these scenes taking the intensity away. A notable scene is where Wilson is holding someone at gunpoint in a church and a gun is fired at this person from behind and after doing a frame by frame analysis, no bullet seems to hit the head and a gaping wound seemingly comes out of nowhere, it's hard to explain but when you see this scene you will understand. Not all of the blood and gore is like this and some of it was awesome, however some of it looks really cheap and fake. I would blame the budget these guys had to make the show for the reason to why it was this way but still, I much prefer the prosthetic blood rather than digitally added. Overall this is a great series, I think it has a wide audience of people to enjoy it (however some people may find certain scenes offensive). I give this an 8 out of 10 due to the dodgy special effects in scenes and just overall not really living up to a 9 rating. However this show is definitely "A" grade material and the story and characters are enough to look past some minor flaws. Check it out!

This is my first review on this site; I have many, many TV series but I have to admit, this one is seriously one of the best. I am such a fan of British TV shows!The story revolved around a number of strangers, meeting online on a forum, discussing about conspiracies and a comic book they all know about. Soon after, things starts to get dirty... well, you gotta watch it to know more! This show, in specific, has made me question if all the viruses are man made. I watched this show in a week and I question everyone as to what they think about the idea of killing people by viruses. Also, I totally loved Alexandra Roach and Paul Higgins' accent. I always smiled when they were on screen. Adeel and Neil were fantastic! Overall, a great piece of director and cinematography. I hope to watch something as good soon!

Two killers go into a comic book store looking for the Utopia manuscript and somebody named Jessica Hyde. Becky is an orphan after the death of her father and she's trying to get the graphic novel 'The Utopia Experiments' funded. Ian Johnson is a nice IT guy. Grant Leetham is a foul-mouthed 11 year old boy pretending to be older online. Wilson Wilson is a conspiracy nut. Bejan calls on the followers of his Utopia forum to meet IRL. Michael Dugdale is a minor government official blackmailed to do Letts (Stephen Rea)'s bidding on a flu vaccine. The two killers find Bejan. They kill him but Grant steals the manuscript. They torture Wilson Wilson and pursue Grant for the manuscript. Then Jessica Hyde shows up.I love the start. Actually I probably love the show's music the most. The show is odd and quirky. It's violent. It's visually cool. I really like the first series. The second series tries to explain a lot and expand on the show. The problem may be that it's impossible to live up to the expectations built up over time. It gets a little convoluted and static. Also the logic of the show struggles more and more as more of the conspiracy is revealed. By the end, the conspiracy fails to impress me but it's still a fun ride.
