UtopiaI wanted to write a few articles about great shows lot of people
around me do not know about. Utopia (2013) is
one of these TV Shows that deserve more attention.
The filmography is quite original. I have never seen
another film/TV show with a similar atmosphere. The usage of bright
colors is magistral. Flashy yellow, green, red.
The soundtrack is also pretty surprising original
and enjoyable.
The acting is really great. Actors are doing a great
job and are quite relatable. These are not the (super)heroes you are
used to. We are far away from shows where every girl is a bimbo and
every guy is a Chippendale.
The scenario, in regard to the recent events related
to COVID19 is just perfect. I do not want to reveal too much. But let's
just say the current real events are close to the events predicted in
this show.
The Surrealistic Humor atmosphere make the viewing
experience quite exceptionnal. There is a mix between nonchalance and
extreme violence. It really feels surrealist. In this show some people
act with extreme violence as if there is no choice.
As a conclusion, if you are looking for a very innovative TV show
then search no further this one is a great original choice. If you are
still unsure, just watch the opening scene, it is quite incredible.
ps: Also try to get the original content. Amazon Prime apparently cut
some very important scene and also changed the ratio which hurt the very
good image work.
