Utopia is probably the worst show ever conceived. Someone spent a lot of time and money making a paradise out of place, only to have it ruined by a whole bunch of random people who try and figure out some kind of democratic type of governing system as they live there. However, it soon becomes a whole bunch of meaningless drama about simple things.Instead of taking a step into utopia, this show actually takes a step back into dystopia. The cast is horrid, these people cannot be related to and cannot be liked, and you just don't feel any connection to anyone. None whatsoever, and certainly not enough to keep you watching the show.I give this a 1/10 because it's just that awful of a series. There's no point to it, and I don't see how anyone could enjoy watching people destroying a utopian world that was made for them.

Well, it's not too exciting of a show and it has it's ups and downs but I keep watching it. I am attached to the characters and want to see what happens next. I like the characters. Watching how characters change from the first episode and their interactions with each other is interesting. I enjoy seeing how they are forming a society in terms of politically and surviving. I wish it would focus more on the survival aspects. I don't like how they have to make money somehow. It's a lot less exciting that they can just purchase groceries and comfort items. If they had a very bare minimum amount of money just given to them and if they were forced to grow more food or something, maybe it'd be more interesting. It's a cross between big brother and survivor but to be honest those are both better shows. I think one problem is that Utopia tries too hard. the host is such a goof and the voice over is so ridiculous it's kind of hilarious.

Where to start with this show, first of all the presenter is some strange guy that looks like he belongs in a Harry Potter movie. Secondly two episodes a week is just a joke, this is basically big brother in a different setting and they pump out five or six episodes a week. Thirdly why have people that have been in other "reality" shows on this one, it makes it look even more fake than it actually is. Last but not least the intro music is just so freaking annoying, i hit mute the second that starts.I must admit it sounded really interesting but there are too many downfalls. This in my books is rubbish.

Perhaps my perspective is different from those who gave a negative review. Granted, only the first episode has been aired thus far, but, I found it interesting and enjoyable. I watched the episode only after I read and viewed each person's profile and video on the official website. Armed with this information, I watched the first episode, paying attention to who interacted in the way I expected and who did not. Basically, this is a reality show for people who are interested in social psychology, behavioral psychology, and other studies of human nature. If you do not have an interest in those or similar aspects of humanity, then you will probably not be able to appreciate the entertainment value. What makes this show different from all the other reality shows is that there are absolutely no rules. The establishment of the "Utopian" society is subject to the unpredictable synergy created by the groups interaction and the uniqueness of all of the personalities involved, while they work together for the shared goal of providing themselves with food, shelter and comfort with minimal resources.
