Utopia: S01 - 2013 - 8/10

“Where is Jessica Hyde?”
Brilliant series set in the near future or today!
Online gamers find clues to the sequel of a legendary graphic novel.
Independently, and then collectively, they search for it.
Nor are they alone. Two other hunters leave a trail of blood and death in their wake.
Highly imaginative series piles on twists, revelations, conspiracy, and splatter.
Most diabolical, near the end, viewers are tempted into darkness.
Me? I switched teams and began rooting for the bad guys.

Note: S01 concludes with a a couple of open doors, which I could live with.
There is a S02, which I am not inclined to view. Reading between the lines, I gather that season advances incrementally (meaning less original ideas, more padding). Season 3 was canceled. Caveat emptor.
