Utopia (2020)

This made me go binge the original which is more film than it is TV. If you are a visuals fan you have to see that. Wide screen, geometric framing, color palettes. Intentional selection of every single set design object, vehicles, wallpaper, lighting, costume. It’s a different work of visual art scene by scene. The original is jarring and isn’t going to fit a lot of people’s idea of TV. I didn’t think I’d be as affected by the story this time around. It turns out that even knowing everything that is going to happen, sitting around in quarantine and time to do a lot of thinking makes this a very nervy watch. If you have a hard time understanding Brit accents I recommend finding English subs online and adding those until you get used to the way they talk, I have to do that with Scots English. 5/5
