Utopia

Wow guys, you'll do the standard thing, fire up Utopia, think its and interesting concept, give yourself time to "get into it", and when the credits roll, you will wonder why you invested the time to watch the whole episode when you repeatedly told yourself throughout the episode "I should just go do something else". Here's the news, it doesn't get any better, you think "maybe something will happen, maybe something exciting", and you'll be let down.

It simply shows you how disgustingly people can treat and speak to one another. Big Brother meets Survivor. Quality programming? unfortunately not.

(and thats coming from the guy who actually likes Big Brother)

Utopia is probably the worst show ever conceived. Someone spent a lot of time and money making a paradise out of place, only to have it ruined by a whole bunch of random people who try and figure out some kind of democratic type of governing system as they live there. However, it soon becomes a whole bunch of meaningless drama about simple things.

Instead of taking a step into utopia, this show actually takes a step back into dystopia. The cast is horrid, these people cannot be related to and cannot be liked, and you just don't feel any connection to anyone. None whatsoever, and certainly not enough to keep you watching the show.

I give this a 1/10 because it's just that awful of a series. There's no point to it, and I don't see how anyone could enjoy watching people destroying a utopian world that was made for them.

I think viewers will need to give the show a few episodes to let the cast's nerves calm down abit.

The are all used to controlling their immediate surroundings with looks, personality, force of will, or guile. It can be a huge shock to the individual when others don't react as you've come to expect. Not many followers in the group, most seem to have the self image of a leader.

Looks like Big Brother with no rules and even bigger morons. Don't need to watch a bunch of idiots screaming at each other. Point well taken that each of these individuals is so disassociated that they can pick up and step out of their lives for an entire year. Certainly not representative of much of anything other than tired stereotypes.

Well, it's not too exciting of a show and it has it's ups and downs but I keep watching it. I am attached to the characters and want to see what happens next. I like the characters. Watching how characters change from the first episode and their interactions with each other is interesting. I enjoy seeing how they are forming a society in terms of politically and surviving.

I wish it would focus more on the survival aspects. I don't like how they have to make money somehow. It's a lot less exciting that they can just purchase groceries and comfort items. If they had a very bare minimum amount of money just given to them and if they were forced to grow more food or something, maybe it'd be more interesting.

It's a cross between big brother and survivor but to be honest those are both better shows. I think one problem is that Utopia tries too hard. the host is such a goof and the voice over is so ridiculous it's kind of hilarious.

Utopia places Americans from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds onto a farm for one year with the hopes that they will bond and create a Utopian society. Of course, the program's producers know that no one is going to watch a reality show where people actually get along or are at least civil to one another. So the cast includes people who are certain not to get along...a bible thumper, ex-convict, redneck, sexual predator, tree hugger, air head, peacemaker, misogynist, narcissist. You know, the usual cast of 'Real World' characters which results in non-stop arguing. Unfortunately that's as original as this social experiment gets.
