And the bit just then with the remains of rabbit 2. But it's the Daily Mail/Mary Whitehouse brigade.

I didn't think it could get darker than the last series. Jesus.

Just as chilling and brutal as I expected. The writers and film crew/editors are just awesome!!

The rabbit's gut leading to the kid standing in the corner, unbelievable.

I'm trying to understand how Milner and her partner are so powerful and in such great positions when Janus was only in the pipeline and they were pretty young.

Milner, Arby and Jessica all brilliantly cast and tha back stories aligned nicely. Onwards to 10pm tonight!

I think it's all a load of nonsense.

Entertaining though.

Been looking forward to S2 for a while, surprised there was no info on it at all until recently.

I hope there are more flashbacks, Who picks up Arby where does the 'scientist' from S1 come in (Corvacs mate). Jessica's "Training" etc

Loved the history tweaks, so Milner is responsible for the 3 Mile Island Meltdown ? What was the plane that went down, was that a famous event the writers have given to Milner as well?

I didn't sleep well last night after watching that. Bleak. fking bleak.
However it was utterly compelling and weaving of the backstory was masterful. The casting of RB as the baby was frightening.

Looking forward to tonight - I'm hopefull that some of the excellent black humour gets re-injected.

I splurged, I decadently spent £11.99 at Amazon on that box set!

As for Utopia - I didn't like it at all when first aired, but I bought the box set to give it another try after reading so many positive thoughts on it, and I loved it! I love the quirkiness combined with abject violence - almost akin to a Coen brothers effort.

Enjoyed last nights too, but that rabbit bit was hard to watch, I have to admit....

I squirmed most at the fingernail TBH. I felt the same with the acid/eye combo in series 1.
