That's a shame. It'd be cool to get some equivalent of a final series, like a graphic novel or something. I'd like to see Wilson Wilson as the Network's HBIC and whatnot, but really even just some post-Janus vignettes showing the effect of the pandemic on society would be cool.

I wish the HBO version could just cast Wilson's actor so he could get his whole season of being Darth Vader.

Sure, they may have cocked it a bit in the second series, but the first series was something special and incredible and ballsy. And the soundtrack is how I get pumped up when I'm having a lovely day at work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdS_VdblFtk

Both seasons were actually quite good at not leaving things hanging. They both had a Big Twist At The End to hook into a follow-up, but I'm satisfied with the Utopia we got, and I think I would have been even if it hadn't got a second season. What I will be super bummed about is if we never see a release of the season 2 soundtrack, cause that's rad as heck.

I found the second season of In The Flesh so aggravating with how they just ignored all the character development and progress made in the first season. It was like everyone got amnesia about what happened so they could repeat the same plots with how the family and town treated the main character.

Plus it doubled down on its own mythology which turned out to be the most boring poo poo imaginable. Utopia basically just remade its own first set up with some roles switched around, and then ended promising more of the same. Roll on Fincher.

Channel 4 really does loving suck. Just heard about the cancellation, they could never see a good thing when they had it.

Its a real shame one of the best filmed and scored tv shows got cancelled. Pity I never got the chance to see it on normal TV due to not knowing about it then being out the country

I like Fincher but it's stacked against him this is like Speilburg trying to follow up Kubrick. Both are talented directors but one is an artist.

Just watched Season 1 today. It was shot beautifully, I'll say that much. I didn't quite enjoy it as other shows and the genre and I wasn't thrilled by how some of the characters ended up aligning... their motivations, etc. But my primary observation is that the whole thing is its own supercut for a person holding a gun to the head of another person. I'd give it a B -

You basically named three artist, three of the best directors ever, and then tried to single one out, all while comparing them to a British TV director.

McDragon posted:It sounds really strange to say this, but Utopia makes people being shot in the head look kind of pretty.  Vanderdeath posted:I'm all for a third series just for the rise and fall of Wilson "The Hardest Motherfucker Alive" Wilson. Anyhoo; I love trying to pick out symbology every time I watch this.. marathoned it in two days earlier this week.. I would have been very let down if Peitre hadn't woken up. Also zoomed through it again a second time and picked out all the overt colour placement and symbols repeated; like the question-marks, during the second season, had a blast trying to single out the religious references alongside the Illuminati/et al poo poo. It's a blast, just a blast. Almost as fun as the dark comedy carefully sprinkled about. I know it's been beaten to death but the saturation of colour in this is orgasmically gorgeous. Makes it seem like a series of varied solid neon shirts would do well with a large white font of UTOPIA, center chest. But I'm a screenprinting nerd, I often have those thoughts. With regards to the future of the IP, so excited about Fincher coming in on this to give it new life, and doubly so that it's not going to be in five years. The only thing that could make me happier is the possibility of being informed that Reznor is not doing the music. It would just come out so flat and predictable if that were to be the case. Is that spinoff comic still available? If not, I'll try to keep an eye out.

Reznor does amazing music for Fincher though? That said, I don't think he did the music for House of Cards so it's not a guarantee.

Hopefully the American one will be big enough that we'll actually get a companion The Utopia Experiments comic to go along with it.
