So , some of you may have heard of a UK tv series called utopia , if you have seen all 12 episodes you will most likely have the same thoughts as I had when I heard that they had cancelled it for some tripe from america. The series offered a unique , interesting and entirely original idea on the way we percieve humanity , it developed themes throughout with complex personalitys within the characters throughout both series bringing on close relation and a sympathy for the situation of others. In some respects it’s like an extremely well written book , each character has complex implicit personalitys created and shown by hidden meanings , they have complex moral issues and a deep underlying tone of the greater good. Most modern tv shows lack this , most modern tv shows take horrific acting and a preachy or just badly written story and then throw it on a major network , this is the quality we are used to now and its , its just saddening that we care so little about how well things are done we will blankly stare at people who couldnt act if they had the greatest coach in the world and storylines that would make sense to a six year old who had lived under a rock their entire life. Unfortunately this series was cancelled , not enough viewers , it was quirky and new thats why people didnt like it , I didnt think much of it until I watched the first episode and it just kept getting better.
If you havent already take a look at the show on 4OD , its brilliant and im almost certain you guys will love it and you will be just as frustrated by the ending of series two and its huge cliff hangers.
If you want to attempt to help keep the show alive just take a look https://www.change.org/p/channel-4-bring-back-utopia/sponsors/new
