davidpg Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Synopsis is: ''A group of young adults get a hold of a cult underground graphic novel, which burdens them with the dangerous task of saving the world.'' I started watching it by fluke as it came up on my recommended list after having played Beat Saber all evening and drinking a bottle and a half of wine (but I digress). Was very surprised as it was pretty good! A couple episodes in and there were a number of surprises I couldn't have even imagined. Looking forward to watching the rest!

Dr Zen Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 I've watched the first 4 episodes and am enjoying it. To say it is timely would be a huge understatement. Link to post Share on other sites

To say it is timely would be a huge understatement. Yep...I like the disclaimer they post before each episode I've got two episodes left to watch. As it's a rainy day up here, I'll watch them after the live Awolnation concert tonight being broadcast tonight online! Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Marino Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Just finished 4, I think epp 3 kind of went too much action and lost me, but 4 brought me back in. So far I'm liking it, but I hope they are not telegraphing a twist? Link to post Share on other sites
davidpg Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 I finished the last 2 episodes last night, and the whole series was definitely worth the watch. No stupid twists I can confirm! Pete Marino 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BCarter27 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 4 eps in on this, and highly recommended. Gillian Flynn is a boss. Creepy art from Fables' Joao Ruas too! Link to post Share on other sites
silverseeker Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Has anyone seen the original British "Utopia" series? I'm one episode into the American version (seems pretty intriguing so far), but while doing a search on IMDb I discovered it's a remake of a British series from 2013-2014, which appears to be more highly-regarded... aardvark88 1 Link to post Share on other sites
BCarter27 Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Just finished tonight and really loved it. I can't say much without spoiling! Link to post Share on other sites
aardvark88 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Just tried ep. 1 so far. Reminds me of 'Locke and Key' TV series with the young cast and mystery story to start with. Great music and comicon scenes but was there a real 'Utopia' comic or graphic novel? Link to post Share on other sites

Pete Marino Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Finished it tonight. Solid overall, now time to find the BBC series and compare the 2. silverseeker and aardvark88 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jayman Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Just finished it tonite also. Pretty good and kept my interest till the end. I kept thinking though, how funny it would be if Arby's character was Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory! Wolverinex 1 Link to post Share on other sites
aardvark88 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Finished season 1 that was more violent than I initially expected. BBC first version of 'Utopia' has released 2 seasons, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites

Try streaming either 'Wayne' and Conan, the Barbarian, or 'Queen's Gambit' instead. Quality entertainment but I liked both 'Utopia' and 'Locke and Key' mystery dramas.
