#Utopia show tv
People used to stick to their TV screens for the entire show. If any shadowy elites have a plan to get us there, this is your moment. We cannot stress the impact of these shows enough on the audience of that time. We wouldn’t have to be living in a perfect society for Utopia to play the way it’s supposed to, but we’d need to build something better than this. If the country ever gets to the other side of this pandemic, there may come a time when Utopia can be appreciated for what it is: an inferior American copy of a pretty good British TV show. There’s nothing wrong with extending that invitation, but it’s better to do it intentionally, not as an accident of history. Every time the Utopia kids uncover another piece of the conspiracy, it’s a new invitation to contemplate just how screwed we are. Make whatever art you like-the audience isn’t your problem! But if you’ve made something about a scrappy group of kids uncovering a giant conspiracy, and it turns out that in the time since you finished shooting, that exact conspiracy theory has suddenly revealed itself to be a) believed by a significant portion of the population and b) deadly, it might not be a bad idea to push the release date.Įven if everyone who sees Utopia is capable of distinguishing fact from fantasy-and that’s vanishingly unlikely in a nation that is sending QAnon followers to Congress-it’s impossible to enjoy a story where the heroes persuade themselves that shadowy forces have manufactured a phony pandemic to trick people into taking a dangerous vaccine when those exact beliefs are helping to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans.


If and when that happens, we can expect ‘Utopia’ season 2 to release sometime in 2022 on Prime Video. If we couple the aforementioned points with the favorable reviews, it seems likely that the network might recommission the show for a second season. It’s not the filmmakers’ fault we’re in this mess, it’s not their fault so much of the public is superstitious and gullible, and it won’t be their fault if Utopia gives some dumbass the confidence they need to quit wearing a mask and infect and kill you or the people you care about. We could all use a little Utopia right now, and David Byrnes American Utopia is burning down a brand new. In case you aren’t aware, Amazon has also inked the show’s creator to an overall deal. We are in the middle of an actual pandemic, a staggering number of Americans sincerely believe that that pandemic is a politically motivated hoax, and an equally staggering number believed vaccines were harmful years before COVID-19 emerged. You can probably see the problem here, and it’s an insurmountable one.
