Contrived body swap storylines. Characters walking around without wearing PPE & having inconspicuous banquets in the centre of a medical setting. Atrocious dialogue. Amateur performances. Shoddy camera work. Multiple, blatant breaches of health & safety within a controlled, sealed environment; scientists taking off hazmat suits in hot zones (without going through rigorous stages of disinfection) so they can toast glasses of wine whilst inside a potentially biohazardous tent - serving finger food - during a pandemic. Same aforementioned scientists pressuring the FDA to distribute untested vaccine to American people without official approval. Citizens begging to receive untested vaccine etc.
Maybe this wouldn't be so cringe worthy & unbelievable if we weren't living through a literal pandemic but unfortunately for Utopia, we are - so audiences have the benefit of knowing what would actually happen in these circumstances & thus - when you take in to consideration things such as the anti-mask & anti-vaxx movement - this episode boasts a plethora of embarrassingly unrealistic sequences. It's just bad.
