Anyone else catch this on Ch 4?

Just watched the first episode and really enjoyed it - it's dark, violent and oozes paranoia, just my cup of tea.

Promising stuff.

Was going to turn it off after 15mins but somehow i watched the whole program.My wife looked at me at the end and said"What the hell was that all about". I enjoy dramas like this which are not usual run of the mill stuff.

Enjoyed it. Like the fact that the main story has already been explained by episode two instead of the American "Lost" type scenario where nothing is really explained not even at the end. Yet there is still plenty left to wonder about and watch for.

Love the more gritty slightly less slick British style, especially love the dishevelled hit man.

After the second episode, I remain impressed!

As a graphic novel afficianado, I keep thinking that the yellow bag looks like the Watchmen smiley face - I wonder if that's a nod to the greatest of the genre, or is just me looking for a motif because I want to feel like a smartarse?

Watched the first 3 episodes and enjoyed it so far. It has a very David Lynch feel to me. Arby, is one of the creepiest charachters I've seen on TV in a while.

Just watched the final episode and have been extremely impressed; great writing, very well acted and fantastic production values - well done Ch 4.

Am very much looking forward to the inevitable second series!

I really enjoyed the whole series very dark very confusing and very thrilling. I was hoping it was just going to be a 6 part series with no second series because sometimes the more series there are it loses what was so great about it inthe first place but after watching the final episode I really liked the twist at the end and I am even looking forward to the next series with it all up in the air and just the begining really. Well done channel 4 on one of the best series in a long time.

Season 2 now in full swing.

I really enjoyed the prequel as a stand alone episode, however it didn't add a lot to the story that we didn't already know, it put some flesh on the bones but didn't really answer any questions. That said there were a few subtle little things in there that may or may not turn out to be significant, so it will be interesting to see where they go with it.

Got around to watching the first 2 episodes of the new series last night - so far, it's living up the first series.

Really enjoyed the prequel - the way it meshed in with real political events of the time was cleverly done, particularly given that I was around at the time and can remember those events.

Perhaps the scariest thing about Utopia, is that despite having what could be called a high concept, it's actually quite plausible; you wouldn't put it past em!
