![]() Hyde: “oh, she was ACTUALLY - are you sitting down, team? - she was team bad guys, I de-mapped her accordingly/sorry to you all, my good guy team, for lying, but we weren’t so tight then, I perceived a lack of grip-having amongst y’all, but we are real now, don’t you find? I’ll call it though, that’s a “my bad” - I could’ve just “let it lie” harhar, as you all seem to feel almost entirely positive towards me, J. TL DR ~ I finished the season, 40% CERTAIN AF that it’d wind up like I guess not really all that good? Stuff like that? Now that I’ve given the show/books WAY too much time, his and Brienne’s chapters take the proverbial cake…īut here, in this Utopia-verse which we are talking about, have been talking about it’s like…. Well played, my fairest Railroad! But on the for real, Jaime’s storyline was originally just, to me, bad guy soup. Truly don’t judge him by his past mistakes, nobody’s perfect, and stuff like that! But all this from the quintessential ruggedly handsome scandinavian? Jaime’s ‘character arc’ - so this selfish, slimy, oozing with elitist-ness, preternaturally adept NOT ONLY at the defenestration of children but also at making lazily self-worshipy quips throughout said kiddie-defenny… and he’s human after all, so the ensuing and really-quite-rapey pound-sesh with his twin sister is telegraphed/beyond routine. The series isn’t yet available to pre-order on Blu-ray or DVD, but you can buy the UK Series 1 and 2 on DVD.I “hear you,” but just… I can’t allow that, sir. ![]() Utopia 2020 streams from Friday September 25th on Amazon Prime. I’d rather Amazon had taken the original cast and given us a continuation of that instead, since Channel 4 had cancelled it after two series. Well, that and the fact that similar to the UK series, this one is also presented in a 2.39:1 Cinemascope-style widescreen ratio.Īfter watching two episodes, the second of which recreates a very specific scene from the UK’s first episode, this is too much of a copy of the UK show for me, and based on these two, it doesn’t hold a candle to the original. Oh, and despite John Cusack ( Being John Malkovich) having top billing, he’s not in the first episode, but he is in it from the second. Whoever Christopher Denham is, I can see what he’s aiming for in his character’s search for the manuscript, but it doesn’t come off anywhere near as well. There are elements of violence, but no-one can perfect the weird and psychotic Arby like Neil Maskell in the original. I am obviously not going to go into details – especially prior to broadcast – but all I can say is that if you did enjoy the UK series, then you may not find enough to get stuck into with this series’ first episode. So, whereas the UK series started off with a bang and kept going, the US series feels very limp by comparison for the majority of the first episode, but in due course, it does start to hit home. Here, the same group of main characters all meet up at a convention – Samantha ( Jessica Rothe), Becky ( Ashleigh LaThrop), Ian ( Dan Byrd) and Wilson Wilson, finding themselves amongst others offering bids for Utopia, and for a number of those others who cosplay, they dress up as characters from it. ![]() And if you DID comply with their demands, it STILL didn’t end well for you. If you didn’t comply with their demands, it didn’t end well for you. The original started off with one of many memorable scenes, as Arby and Lee overstayed their welcome in a comic book shop on the hunt for Utopia. Several characters within a particular group are interested and, once again, there’s a Wilson Wilson ( Desmin Borges), the germophobe who always stayed off-grid and called himself by that name because he thought it was the most inconspicuous… even though it always seemed the complete opposite. In this case, they come across various pages of it in the house, and thinking if they can find more, they’ll make their fortune, especially since it’s the conclusion to another famous graphic novel, Dystopia. ![]() The original series was based around a bizarre graphic novel with the same name as the series and centred around a girl called Jessica Hyde ( Sasha Lane, in this case). This time round, a young couple move into a new house, but it’s full of junk from the previous owner. (Obviously, the US version is also just called ‘Utopia’, but, y’know, Google SEO.) By the way that ended – even with a cliffhanger – the expected drop in ratings led to its cancellation, even though a third series would’ve wrapped things up. Utopia 2020 is the American remake of British drama Utopia, which had an excellent – and surprisingly violent – first series, but then threw out any semblance of plot for the second series.
