Review of Utopia

Utopia (II) (2014)
10/10
An interesting cross of reality shows
12 October 2014
What caught my attention about this series is its similarity to The Discovery Channel's "The Colony". It also has elements in common with CBS's "Big Brother" and "Survivor". But at the same time, it is it's own show. There is no winner to this show, and no big prize at the end.

The cast is made up of 15 different people with different skill sets, experiences, and ideas. On paper this group of people should be able to create a thriving community. Especially since some of the members of this community have overlapping skills (IE the "huntress", the contractor, and the handy man that can do a little of both). But the reality doesn't work quite that smoothly. This is what makes it a "social experiment".

My only issue with this show is the mandatory vote out. I am curious to see what these people accomplish over their time in Utopia. And I am hopeful for a second season.

To the naysayers I have to wonder why you are even here. This show is exactly what it claimed to be from the start. If that isn't what you want to see, then look somewhere else.
