Unfortunately, fans eagerly anticipating Utopia season 3 were left bitterly disappointed when Channel 4 announced that Utopia had not been renewed for another run. In late 2014, the broadcaster wrote that ending Utopia was "a necessary part of being able to commission new drama." In other words, Utopia didn't attract large enough viewing figures to warrant its place on Channel 4's 2015 schedule. Indeed, despite rave reviews and a loyal, passionate following, Utopia season 2's viewership dipped consistently below the 1 million mark, with the winding story, uncomfortable themes and unique style perhaps not suited to retaining casual viewers. Dennis Kelly has since speculated that releasing in summer didn't help Utopia's chances, while its director suggested that the London-heavy setting might've played a part in deterring a wider audience.
Anyway... I've finished the show! It's great, I rate it 8.4/10. :cool: (The way the end was done lets me assume they were quite certain the show would be renewed.)
Loved the music, how it was filmed (reminded me of https://next-episode.net/legion at times), (most of) the actors and she show's quirks. :)
Compelling backstory too, to go along with the great performances, interesting color palette, and eccentric soundtrack.
When you can appreciate that, make sure to check out https://next-episode.net/alex-rider too. :) It's a lovely combination of a unique story, quality acting and soundtrack, suspense and more.

Yes, it was definitely one of the better throwbacks I've seen in a series. Compelling backstory too, to go along with the great performances, interesting color palette, and eccentric soundtrack.

Just watched 2x1. Wow! Real 70s feeling - the aspect ratio, the lower image quality, the music (to some extent), and interweaving it all with historic TV footage and news!

(ADMIN EDIT COMMENT: Please don't quote 20 lines when one line (or less) is enough.)

Will wait a bit before I start watching https://next-episode.net/utopia-2020.
Which one?
The mass shooting in the secondary school. I remember at the time lots of people in the UK complained about it.
Which one?
Excellent story, excellent acting, excellent weird music.
Yes, and so much better than the poor remake. They just didn't get it right at all.
