A conspiracy thriller about a group of people who come into possession of a manuscript sequel to a graphic novel called, "The Utopia Experiments." The novel has made accurate predictions about some of the world's greatest atrocities. Because the group holds the manuscript, a mysterious opposing group called "The Network" tries their best to find them. Meanwhile, the good guys must try to stop the next event from occurring.
Wow - just one mark in it? I think the original blew the US one away.
I agree with both of you guys and still stand by my 5/5 next-episode rating for the original. I thought the original did an excellent job blending a gorgeous, bright visual style with a dark comedy and its ruthless counterparts. That doesn't mean I thought the remake was terrible or unenjoyable, but it was different IMO. In fairness, I watched the original roughly a week before watching the remake, so it was still fresh in my head at the time of viewing. If it weren't for the Amazon cancellation, I would probably give the first season another spin at some point, but I don't see that happening now.

But from my experience 9 out of 10 times i prefered the show/version i watched first, as it's not new/fresh anymore the second time around
Yeah... I wonder how much that influenced me while watching the remake...

HomerS: I look forward to your comparison (ratings), especially since you started with the remake.
I have too many shows i'm watching at the moment so Utopia UK is way down on my list, maybe in late 2021, i might take a stab. But from my experience 9 out of 10 times i prefered the show/version i watched first, as it's not new/fresh anymore the second time around, even if the original or remake might be a bit different.
And i liked the US pilot better than the UK pilot, but probably because i watched the US one first aswell.

See the spoiler here for one big reason why I only rated it 8.4/10. :)
