How is the 2nd season of Utopia compared to the 1st?

Crazy. A couple eps....namely the first....are better than anything in the first season IMO.

A couple story choices were kinda :patrice:but nothing bad. They just went left with a couple things. Over all I'd say it's a worthy follow up to season 1.

Ohh

That answered all my questions



:dahell:

:rudy:

It's about a rare graphic novel (comic book) that has something in it worth killing for. On the surface that's what the show is about. Towards the end of the season you find out what it's really about and it's :mindblown:

Peep the first scene. After that peep the first ep, at the very least. If you think it's wack, neg rep me:

My plate is full right now with shows, but I'm definitely going to get around to watching the 2nd season. Still can't believe that a Netflix or Hulu hasn't picked up the streaming rights for this in the U.S., especially with the Fincher remake coming to HBO.

Apparently the show is heavily slept on in the UK. I'm talking, 400,000 or less watching it. Hopefully the remake jump starts interest in the original.

Word :ohhh:. Surprising to hear as it is one of the few British shows that is always getting talked about here, but I have no concept of ratings for the U.K. I just know that Luther ended up on BBCA, Black Mirror on Direct TV Audience Network, Misfits on Hulu Plus, somebody would be wise to get up on that.

Those other shows actually do numbers. 2-6+ mill. The sole reason "Utopia" is getting a remake is because Fincher is a huge fan.

We are the only people giving that shyt a life line breh. :mjcry:
Hell, even in the threads started by UK cats it's never mentioned. @choc_cardigan was the first dude I seen mention it on here when it debuted. Son is from Phillie. :mjlol:

@hexagram23 i just watched the first episode. I'm very intrigued. What's up with the weird music with weird nonsensical vocal samples, am I bugging in thinking the creators did this to mimic schizophrenia hallucinations since the author of the graphic novel had schizophrenia? The colors popping in the show kind of reminds me of the movie "Her"

The soundtrack is just on some other shyt. And the music and color scheme is supposed to make the show feel slightly out of step with reality. Kinda like a comic book.

Just finished the second episode, the murmuring voices were much more apparent in the music in the second episode, it has to be purposeful




reminded me of that, even though they aren't actually saying any words in the actual soundtrack on the show

for a specific example, go to episode 2 10:44 minutes in to see what I'm talking about

I guess it's possible but the show never addresses this is what I was saying. Season 2 has a weird ass sound track too.

What do you think of the show so far?

I love the cinematography and colors, at this point I'm merely intrigued. I still don't know what the fukk is going on exactly, so I'm waiting to get a firmer grasp on things once it starts to explain stuff more, about to start episode 3. I quit weed to get a job so I'm filling in all my weed smoking time with binging on shows. I dig that british shows are typically 6 episodes..makes it easier. The only thing that has annoyed me at all is the CGI blood :heh:

Episode 3 is :demonic:

They give you a few clues about what's going on. Not enough that you'd be able to piece it together, but they explicitly explain it in episode 5, and it makes perfect sense given the clues.
