What to Know

Critics Consensus

Utopia's cast and mystery at times transcend its overtly cynical and overly violent tendencies, but even those willing to look past the torture may find the whole thing too timely - in a bad way.

Melanie McFarland Salon.com 10/12/2020
Utopia suffers from stumbles that are all too typical among ambitious creators, primarily the urge to showcase Lane's formidable heroine and a knotty conspiracy with apocalyptic implications at the expense of story and character development. Go to Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist 10/07/2020
The pleasure of Utopia is that, despite all of this grimness, it's still very fun to watch. Flynn keeps the pace brisk, and each episode reveals some new weird facet to the conspiracy that's often quite delightful, even if it's menacing at the same time.

2/5
Channel 4's series was a snarling outsider with nothing to lose. This version, with its thick budget and big American names helicoptered in to make ordinary scenes memorable, feels sanitised by comparison. Go to Full Review Rick Marshall Digital Trends 07/13/2021
Whether you view Utopia as an amusing adventure down the conspiracy rabbit hole or a cautionary tale about our dark, pandemic-influenced timeline, the story it does tell is told well. Go to Full Review Lindsay Traves CGMagazine 02/24/2021
5/10
Shining some light on big bad corporations and the lengths evil will go to do their evil deeds, Utopia flies way too close to the "topical" sun. Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network 10/26/2020
6/10
With the original series lasting only 12 episodes, this run feels at once too short and too long. It is a shame that we never got the HBO version of this story as I expect it may have been better than the one we got. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Samuel P 11/14/2024 Relies on shock value too much. Also, the premise of the show hinges on a lot of plot holes. See more Jealous L @Jealous_Lover 05/10/2024 I was expecting a sequel of the British original. See more Voice O @VoiceOver 02/15/2024 Watch the British original, you know why the half star See more America F 01/15/2024 Awesome storyline! Revealing so much truth about what going on in the world. Bill Gates hates this movie! Funny watching all the so called critics cry over supposed "science denying" 😂😂😂 News flash: "science" and especially big pharmaceutical companies and big government are meant to be questioned not blindly followed and blindly trusted! You're not a virtuous person just because you are obedient! WATCH THIS SHOW! See more David A 01/01/2024 Bummed this was cancelled after one season, but 2020 was probably the worst year imaginable to release a super dark show about a pandemic. This was amazing. Even tho they wrapped up a bunch of story lines by the end of the season, there were still loose ends left for future seasons that never came when the show was cancelled. Still worth the watch! I just found out this was based on a 2013-14 British series, so that's next up for me. Note - this is really dark and rather gory. See more John B 12/29/2023 Absolutely incredible. Well worth the watch. Excellent story. See more Read all reviews
