Utopia (2013 - 2014)

After a group of people, who meet online, discover a bizarre graphic novel which seems to hold mysterious answers, they find themselves being tracked down by a merciless organization known merely as 'The Network'. - IMDb

On 9 October 2014, it was revealed by the official Utopia Twitter feed (and later by Channel 4) that there would not be a third series. An American adaptation was planned for HBO, but budget disputes between HBO and director David Fincher led to the project being cancelled in July 2015. - Wikipedia

Wow? Where did this come from? Talk about "a hot kiss at the end of a wet fist" kinda show. Utopia hits you smack in the eyes but you can't stop watching. You'll find yourself saying "oh no they won't do that" a lot and {BAMM} they keep doing it anyway. - User review on IMDb

Mystery, intrigue, agony and bloodshed has captivated us over the last six weeks with this truly epic, almost real, drama. - HuffPost

Sinister cogs were turning over in Utopia (Channel 4), the atmospheric new six-part conspiracy thriller from Matilda the Musical co-writer Dennis Kelly. - Telegraph

Personal Opinion

this is the tv that got away  unfortunately not enough promo was put into this show meaning they weren't creating enough money for a third series to happen which is a shame because this show is a HIDDEN gem. it has cliff hangers, plot twists, blood, humour, unique editing and not to mention the incredible soundtrack which i'll link below  i honestly wish they created 10 episode seasons so i could have more to watch but this is one of my favourite tv shows. i give 5 out of 5 diane's, srs.
