    This show is not to be confused with the new Fox show Utopia which starts next month. I am talking about this show:

    A generic Wiki-description of the plot:
    It's a very stylized, exceedingly violent show. I just realized the 2nd Season ("Series") is airing currently on the BBC so I'm binge watching it.

    Looks interesting. Is it on Netflix or Amazon Prime?

    I don't know of a legal way to watch the show. I don't think it's ever been available on Amazon Prime/Netflix, but it may within the next year. David Fincher, who also adapted House of Cards, will be adapting the show for HBO.

    It's great! I recommend it to everyone who can handle the gore.

    Just watched the first episode. Thought it was really, really good. I'll definitely keep on watching.

    Just watched a few. It was alright. The repetitive ultra violence intended to shock gets old. I also get a Lost feeling, where the show runners have no idea what the ending is and are just throwing out clue after clue with no idea where the story goes.

    I have read similar criticisms about the violence.

    In regards to the plot -- the 2nd Season is rather straightforward (or as much as you would hope in a drama). The show starts to be less of a mystery and is more focused on exploring motivation.
