So here we got with STERNS waking up and Colleen telling him to look at his laptop. Colleen tells Sterns what his position is here. She's set up his laptop with snuff films galore, and threatens him with prison if he goes public with any plans or information to stop the VACCINE!

Then ARBY calls on DR CHRISTIE, and CHRISTIE is not pleased with the story that LILY is spreading in front of the media. CHRISTIE SENDS ARBY OFF TO DEAL WITH THIS.....

Haha, when ARBY shows up at Lily's she's having quite the little celebration.

Tom shows up at DAD's and they have a nice father/ son conversation about Sterns and Operation 'Fun'.

HyDE and team show up at Sterns to inspect him to see if he is Mr. Rabbit. This could potentially save him from Colleen and her Operation 'Fun'. We will see. Then Hyde gets into a fight with Colleen. Colleen obviously not an ordinary 'Housewife ' as she claims. Good fight!!! And then Little Alice shoots Colleen. Good for Alice!! Just like how Alice's mom was shot.

+1 Star for the fight between Hyde and Colleen

Arby now wants to be called, JOHN!

Grant and Alice entertain themselves by jumping on beds. Sterns explains that his flu is being spread by BUNNIES at PETTING ZOOS. That's how all these kids are getting sick. It's a pretty good plan actually.

I am enjoying the old 80's classic tunes in this EP tho. Supersonic??? Word up? LOL Funny.

And HYDE and team, they revisit Agent Katherine Milner of DHS. Some startling revelations are about to come forth!!!

And Dr. CHRISTIE , TOM, AND A repurposed Catherine Warwick hold a news conference to discuss the VACCINE and how it will start to ship out!

And Hyde and Team are delivered a very well wrapped package at the end of this one! 6/10

Arby coming into his own!

Love how the authenticity of Arby's story is portrayed here. He's finally realizing he needs love that has been denied to him and is now willing to act on these convictions. It's a real glory to see how he finally lets someone live (Charlotte) in these moments and also assigns himself a new name as a new beginning.

The most americanised American drama in America.

It's apparent by this point that Gillian Flynn's re-adaptation of UTOPIA is devoid of any originality & her retelling of the initial story lacks anything from the first which made it interesting whilst also offering absolutely nothing new to compensate in return.

This means we're left with a verbose, dragged out rehash of the exact same narrative that lacks any of the previous nuance or subtlety - told far less effectively or with any concision, boasting truly amateur dialogue - which fails to subvert expectations by taking the plot in a new, unexpected direction that could've potentially suited her own personal style of writing more fittingly; at least then we would've then been provided had a valid justification for Amazon greenlighting a reboot - whereas this simply leaves the audience questioning "if they never intended to do something different, why didn't they just comission a 3rd season of the original instead?" You're watching the same drama unfold in a far less impressive manner.

Oh, & I forgot to mention - instead of a shadowy underground organisation that secretly operates for the perceived greater good of humanity - unknown to the government or intelligence agencies, we have a two-dimensional, Machiavellian, moustache twirling, evil billionaire acting as the head of this renamed network - & although all of us who've seen the original know who the real villain will be, it still seems embarrassingly hammy & superficial - playing in to the clichéd stereotype of the "evil elitist" we've seen so many times before.

The US needs to keep its grubby, corporate hands off creative British cult classics, basically.
