I am very curious about this little crescendo
Season 1 ratings were really poor apparently, so if this season doesn't do well I don't think there'll be a third.

Channel 4 is supposed to cater to 'non-mainstream' audiences (this is literally the entire justification for its establishment and continued existence), so low ratings are not necessarily the kiss of death that they tend to be for programmes on the BBC or (especially) ITV. Utopia's ratings were low, but a high proportion were from 'demographics' that typically don't watch much TV drama.

True, but Channel 4 is not the Channel 4 it used to be.

Also, Utopia manages to make West Lancashire look nice. This is a strange thing.

Oh my, using the very real Airey Neave in a fictional drama like this is in...questionable taste. The rest is fine, it's a story, but Neaves' death was real, not the result of some fantastical comicbook plot.

There was a news story about this a few days ago:

It's the Torygraph. They're weird.
