I am really enjoying 'Utopia'. Dennis "Pulling" Kelly has managed to twist something brilliant out of a premise that sounded kind of strange upon first reading. A comic book that people are so desperate to get their hands on they'll *SPOILER ALERT* frame a pre-teen boy for shooting up his school? Um. But it's brilliant. It makes 'Black Mirror' look cosy. In fact I had to walk out of the room for one scene in the first episode. If you've seen it you'll know which bit I'm talking about (spoon).
The characters are perfect, each one a shade of good and bad - revolting and stupid at times, empathetic and beautiful at others. I'm in awe of the writing, I can't believe I'm starting to care about a particular murderous mouth-breather, when three weeks ago he was starring in my nightmares.
I also love how much it expects of it's audience. I'm tense throughout, I need to re-watch the series again to see what I missed, and it is awesomely, beautifully shot. The colours cranked up to 11, the music jumpy and weird. And the foley of a rubber bag has become number three in my list of Top Five Most Disturbing Sounds.
But most importantly, people are starting to gif it on tumblr. That's the ultimate stamp of approval.
I don't know how to do a gif, so I did some MS Paint art about it instead. I focused on the most important elements of the show.
Anyway, I highly recommend it.
