Utopia - Channel 4
Discussion
46hr25m!...Not that bad I suppose. The biggest kink in it was my iphone, which I have only owned from August, but to which regrettably I have become slightly addicted.
Also on the electoral register, seems they know who I am but are not watching/monitoring me, tracking me little.
I did notice they have gone f
king nuts on the adverts. They knew this would be popular, it was 4 minute adverts every 10 mins, made the thing 90 fking minutes long! I had plussed it so no biggy, but still.
C4 are pure fkwits.

I loved Black Mirror but think this is a bit crap to be honest. Am I the only one?
We tried to watch it on 4oD yesterday. I don't know if it's because we've been spoilt by the upsurge in great US shows, having watched Dexter, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Battlestar Galactica, Boardwalk Empire - and so one - but at the moment, UK TV shows are very below par. We all watched Utopia yesterday, with ages ranging from 17 to 46 - we agreed unanimously to switch it off and watch something else with 15 minutes still to go.David Lynch was doing this sort of stuff 20/30 years ago, and with much more flair.
I think so. The sheer mass of the US shows has skewed things. UK telly still makes some genuinely top notch stuff, just not near enough in comparison. It also suffers sadly when it tries to ape US shows.
Utopia isn't one of the best, but it's enjoyable enough in it's way, and a bit different, which is nice.
