Again, something that sat dormant on my Sky planner turns quickly into absolute must-see-the-next-episode television. Last month it was Being Human's swansong, this time it was the first season of Utopia.
A UK series that debuted early this year, I only watched it after seeing it described as "the drama for our generation!" And the opening scene (two guys walk into a comic book shop, split one guy's head wide open with a metal pipe and then use a gas bottle and mask on another), I was pretty much hooked.
A scarily plausible sci-fi thriller about a graphic novel that reveals a massive government plot (of which I won't say) that turns into all kinds of ultra grim stuff. A man who gets questioned by being tied to a chair and then bleach rubbed into his eyeballs. A government who frame a 10 year old boy for a school shooting massacre. A terrifying, emotionless, mumbling mass murderer. And the fact that if someone asks "where is Jessica Hynde?" - yeah, you're pretty much fucked.
Like I said, I'm a year late on this, but hunt this show down.
