    Anyone watched Utopia on amazon? Was written 2014/15 apparantly and released last year and there was a us and uk version. Never heard of it before till i saw it last night. Not watched the series yet but bit of touchy theme with whats going on. I thought songbird was too soon but this one lol. Bit prescient given when it was written.



    Dunno if any spoilers in that btw.

    Tip for you. The original UK version is outstanding. The US version doesn’t even come close.

    No I think it’s the remake us version on Amazon. Could be wrong like. One of the episodes of the original UK version is filmed in Barnsley bus station

    The US one was entertaining enough.

    Are you sure that wasn’t Distopia?

    Agreed. The first series of the original one in particular is still one of my all-time TV highlights. I was really disappointed in the remake.

    Seconded.

    The US one is watchable. The UK version was incredible.
