Sounds like an interesting looking new series on Channel 4 beginning on 15th Jan at 10pm

"Utopia will follow a group of people who find themselves in possession of a manuscript of a cult graphic novel. The tome is rumoured to have predicted the worst disasters of the last century and the group soon find themselves targeted by a shadowy organisation known only as The Network."

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2384811/

"It’s a very dark comedy, the kind that British TV excel at, at sits well alongside Black Mirror, Dead Set, Misfits and Being Human"

Sounds right up my street smile

Review of the first episode, maybe some spoilers.

A quick bump as Utopia begins tonight.

Judging by the overwhelming disinterest, I'll have fun evaluating it tomorrow with myself hehe

I've been intrigued by the self-conscious trailers and will plus this tonight. Is it IMDB describing it as akin to those other things? Because I don't watch any of those other things. I wonder what they mean by "very dark comedy"? Violent, political, doomy, grim, tasteless, or just not actually very funny?

Let's see.
