Utopia Season 2 "The Network is Watching"

im not much of a tv guy to begin with but i do have a preference for the british shows when it comes down to it. main reason being when they actually *do* have black people in the cast, it feels like there's less or even no restriction to what the black actors can do. Nathan (black dude from Utopia) was more or less the leader of Misfits for the first season and a half, and was even juggling bytches; he was the main love interest for the baddest female on the team, still had his own girlfriend, and then transitioned to another bad female to fukk with in season 2.
If that was in the US, nathan's role as Curtis would've been given to some blonde haired blue eyed justin bieber kid or one of them twighlight-lookin boys, and the black girl on the team would've been seen as "ample enough representation for blacks".. so Nathan would be outside looking in. Mind you, his character still got done dirty starting in about season 3 but at least he was stylin for the first 2. Luther with Idris is another example, where you get a black actor playing a genius level detective as a lead, solving mysteries and just out smarting muthafukkas, and not being some a-sexual no love interest having stiff.
shyt, even a canadian show like Continuum.. starting with season 2, I love how they incorporate new black actors in the mix and the growth they give for the preexisting ones. Travis, for example, transitions from being a typical lackey in season 1 to the Bane-type lead villain 2nd season who has both opposing female lead villains on his dikk, and everyone else scared as shyt of him.
Now these type of shows are still few and far between, but whenever i find such gems with heavy doses of black excellence, i do make it a point to support them by buying the dvds or whatever. Outside of those gems i find (and this site has put me on to a couple of them), i pretty much have my tv turned off till basketball season

the 3rd ep is the best imo and i can see why its getting made into a movie....ending of it had me likeYo.. i just checked this out.
.....but regarding this Utopia shyt, THIS shyt IS PIFFF!!!
.....these cot damn brits steady making give no fuks piff ....the 3rd ep just left me like .....gon watch like 3 more eps tonight 
From what i understand, it may get made into a movie b/c robert downey jr loved the episode and was the one who pitched it to warner bros and his own studio production company. I just watched the ep and i could see why he felt that way. The sci-fi concept behind it is brilliant and the story itself was well done.the 3rd ep is the best imo and i can see why its getting made into a movie....ending of it had me like
The 2nd one was my favorite, followed by the 3rd and then the 1st.. but really all 3 eps made you feel a certain way with how the drama unfolded. I'm definitely gonna find time tomm to catch season 2

Emporer Palpatine and Ygritte from Game of Thrones are going to be on the new season of Utopia.

Best known for her Game of Thrones' role as Wildling Ygritte, Rose Leslie also appeared in ITV's Downton Abbey before moving North of the Wall.
Who could she be playing? If Leslie's Utopia role requires her to speak in her own cut-glass English accent (she's technically posh Scottish), we wonder if she could be playing a daughter to Geraldine James' Milner. The physical resemblance is certainly there.
What a perfect fit this makes. With James Fox and Stephen Rea out of the picture, there could be a distinct lack of sinister older gentlemen in Utopia's second series. Enter Ian McDiarmid, most recognised these days for his fantastic work underneath prosthetics as Star Wars' Emperor Palpatine.
Who could he be playing? We've no idea of course, but we'd be surprised if McDiarmid turned out to be anyone too cuddly
