What to Know

Critics Consensus

Utopia's cast and mystery at times transcend its overtly cynical and overly violent tendencies, but even those willing to look past the torture may find the whole thing too timely - in a bad way.

Melanie McFarland Salon.com Utopia suffers from stumbles that are all too typical among ambitious creators, primarily the urge to showcase Lane's formidable heroine and a knotty conspiracy with apocalyptic implications at the expense of story and character development. Oct 12, 2020 Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist The pleasure of Utopia is that, despite all of this grimness, it's still very fun to watch. Flynn keeps the pace brisk, and each episode reveals some new weird facet to the conspiracy that's often quite delightful, even if it's menacing at the same time. Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Jack Seale Guardian Channel 4's series was a snarling outsider with nothing to lose. This version, with its thick budget and big American names helicoptered in to make ordinary scenes memorable, feels sanitised by comparison. Rated: 2/5 Oct 7, 2020 Full Review Rick Marshall Digital Trends Whether you view Utopia as an amusing adventure down the conspiracy rabbit hole or a cautionary tale about our dark, pandemic-influenced timeline, the story it does tell is told well. Jul 13, 2021 Full Review Lindsay Traves CGMagazine Shining some light on big bad corporations and the lengths evil will go to do their evil deeds, Utopia flies way too close to the "topical" sun. Rated: 5/10 Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network With the original series lasting only 12 episodes, this run feels at once too short and too long. It is a shame that we never got the HBO version of this story as I expect it may have been better than the one we got. Rated: 6/10 Oct 26, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Jealous L I was expecting a sequel of the British original. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Voice O Watch the British original, you know why the half star Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review America F Awesome storyline! Revealing so much truth about what going on in the world. Bill Gates hates this movie! Funny watching all the so called critics cry over supposed "science denying" 😂😂😂 News flash: "science" and especially big pharmaceutical companies and big government are meant to be questioned not blindly followed and blindly trusted! You're not a virtuous person just because you are obedient! WATCH THIS SHOW! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/15/24 Full Review David A Bummed this was cancelled after one season, but 2020 was probably the worst year imaginable to release a super dark show about a pandemic. This was amazing. Even tho they wrapped up a bunch of story lines by the end of the season, there were still loose ends left for future seasons that never came when the show was cancelled. Still worth the watch! I just found out this was based on a 2013-14 British series, so that's next up for me. Note - this is really dark and rather gory. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Annika S I am irate that this show has been canceled. It was written very well, and executed well. Whether or not you watch to see if there are parallels to real life it is such a good show. Please bring it back, there were open ended storylines!! It wasn't finished. I don't like very many TV shows, and I love this one. I highly recommend watching it even if they don't plan to add more to it though, it's an excellent show, you won't be disappointed if you like mysteries. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review John B Absolutely incredible. Well worth the watch. Excellent story. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
