Really? Dang, that means we're almost done.
Shows don't get cancelled outright in the UK like they do in the US. Very rarely do shows get pulled. If ratings dip drastically they may have moved time/date but on Channel 4, with a relatively short series, I doubt they would've done it.
Wiki says it's a six part miniseries.
But it wouldn't be the first show to get turned into a series so don't count that possibility out, especially if it's doing well.

Well shit. That was good. Kinda saw the secret with Janus coming but still pretty awesome overall.

I didn't so i thought it was a pretty good twist.
Also, If they sold a copy of the manuscript I might buy it.

I really loved this episode and the series as a whole. The Janus thing was explicity stated so I don't know why the characters didn't catch on (unless that was just a red herring for the audience so we let our guard down for the real twist).
I wonder if the Russian/Soviet germ warfare side of things crops up in the future. It'd be interesting if they have their own operations.
I also didn't expect it to be a continuing series and hope it gets renewed.

I don't know if I want another series. I'd be afraid that they would be relying on people watching it because we're into the conspiracy and the extent of it and it just wouldn't accomplish anything.

OH FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
was not expecting that.
was not expecting that.
Well everything is out in the open for the main characters; but they are all in trouble now. The email that warned everyone about the vaccinations was never sent so they are all still going to be hunted by the government, they just don't know it yet. Also I want to find out what kind of experiments happened to Jessica as well as Pietre. As well as what happened to Wilson after Jessica left him for dead.

Felt the last episode was a bit flat, but I still quite enjoyed the series overall.
True, only Jessica knows The Network is still operating, the other characters still believe Milner is the good guy and told them to chill for a month so it might be to late before they realize Jessica is Janus and the manuscript was just bait.
The experiments seems to be only a small part of it though, I guess they could throw another twist at us maybe there is more to Janus or maybe there are other versions of Janus like Pietre, it kind of seems silly to me that Jessica's fathers life's work is a human sterilization program.
Wilson looked like he got stabbed in the liver, I believe 20 minutes tops to get medical help before passing out/dying. So he might make it if he got off the floor and looked for help or somebody found him.

Milner is Jessica's mother. Twist!

Well, as a yank, it seems like I'm missing out. Any word on a dvd release?

Finally caught up with the last ep yesterday. Really pleased with it, did everything I wanted it to. Looking forward to the next series as I've grown to like the characters, even the annoying Welsh bint.
Oh god yes, I would love both volumes!

Holy shit. Amazing tv show.
Cannot believe the thread for it here is so small.

Yes there will be a season 2
Sweet, thanks.
Me too, but I put that down to being told the series was self-contained. Wasn't expecting so many dangling threads.
Well, it's not official yet, but likely. Certainly the creators want one.
More or less. She initially says "Fuck it, let's give it a go" to being in a relationship with the Deals looming over her, but when the seizure in the station (apparently) confirms the syndrome is taking effect, she changes her mind.
I thought the first half was stronger, possibly due to the change in directors, but overall a great, great show. Anyone who enjoyed Neil Maskell as Arby/R.B./Pietre should check out The Kill List, preferably without reading anything about it first.
Duly noted
Still reeling from the show. Poor Michael, I didn't expect the Russian to be a spy.

Well, not really. They gained a pyrrhic victory in stopping the vaccine but the DNA sequence still exists and is in the hands of Milner and her organisation, who are working toward something, but it wasn't clear as to what their end goal is.
They didn't appear to have the same goal in mind as the Network, so a second series following Milner could be quite interesting.

I thought Milner was Rabbit and head of the Network and did have the same goal in mind?
Miles Quaritch
Member
Ah, completely forgot about that.
Carry on then, a second series following Milner might not be so interesting after all. I don't how I forgot that she was Mr Rabbit.
Err - this hasn't been announced as far as I'm aware.
Miles Quaritch

It hasn't.
Moving on, the blu-ray out on Monday, so that's pretty great news. I was expecting a longer delay. Should look very nice in HD.

I'm not sure how accurate it is (although it being the official web store for the network that funded and aired the show, it should be accurate), the Channel 4 web store claims it's region free.
http://www.channel4store.co.uk/drama/utopia/16912#.UTcTSVeBwjY
Interestingly, the DVD release specifically mentions Region 2, whereas the Blu-ray release is region free.

I'd be fine with that as an ending, but even ignoring the tweets above, that's not 100% the ending you get, is it?
What happens to Ian and Grant? Do they just go back to their lives? Are their lives still there to go back to? Mr. Rabbit has Janus, but do we really know the whole truth of what he wants to do with it? And how will Jessica feel about that? There's more I'm forgetting, I'm sure. I'm not saying these questions would have to be answered for the story to be complete, but I don't think they'd be so pointedly unanswered, if that makes sense.

Not much really. I think you see some tit and arse in one of the episodes. If the violence doesn't bother you, the nudity won't.

The BBC had Sherlock listed as region free but it turns out it was "region free" if you had a certain kind of BRD player.
if you squint at one point you can see some tits.
Think you see the black dude's arse a couple of times, but not much really.
But fuck me there's some violence in this.

I have to say thanks to you fine gentlemen for bumping this thread yesterday and having it grab my attention. This show is now on my must watch recommend list for anyone I talk to about TV. Only made it through four episodes last night but man.... so good.
I love all the audio work that is tied in throughout each episode.
