The show is decent, but it's fascinating watching in 2025, now that it's official Covid-19 was made in a lab, and Fauci was involved! The official estimate is 18 million deaths or permanently disabled by the Covid-19 vaccines. Official numbers show far more vaccinated people died or were hospitalized than unvaccinated, nearly 3-1. The CDC just admitted last month that no child vaccines have gone through testing vs a placebo control group since 1986!
The show is a Conspiracy Theory distopian fantasy. It's usually not my thing, but the parallels with what actually happened in 2020 are wild. Fauci made 6 million off his Covid patents, lied about to Congress, and admitted knowing it was leaked from the Wuhan lab where he previously worked all along. Then we find out he tested AZT on children and tortured monkeys and dogs in his labs. The president pardoned him. This show was written before any of this happened/came out.
The acting is mostly good. There are 3 villians that aren't very believable. The characters range from well crafted to one dimensional. Visually it's better than most series that aren't made for HBO. If you love Conspiracy/distopian fantasy, you will love this.
Utopia isn't as good as Station Eleven, but has some similarities. Honestly, I would give it 3.5 stars if it didn't parallel real life events so well.
