It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I was actually quite excited when I ran across this show. Unfortunately my excitement was gone within about 15 minutes. Several of the cast members (can't call them pioneers and feel good about it) were so angry and so nasty that I could see this would go nowhere. I don't know about your real world, but I don't have those nasty people in mine. I certainly wasn't going to invite them in via television. While a TV show has to have some drama to survive, it doesn't have to be contrived, forced, and extreme every second of the show.Take note networks, we won't watch utter drivel. There is enough anger and hate in the world already. We don't need to throw fuel on the fire of hate and invite it into our homes.

While this could be an interesting show, illustrating how different people from different backgrounds work together to build a little village (not a society!), the fact that they simply vote off those they don't like removes all that drama. And with out that drama, this is just a show depicting 15 people living on a large camp site.Do we really want to see 15 people all saying 'yes'? The producers failed in their design of the show's rules. They should have made the elimination based only on viewers' votes. Because of this flaw, the individuals with the most character and conviction are voted off to be replaced with boring 'don't-rock-the-boat' participants which no viewer gives a damn about.

A major news station had this to say about Utopia, "Set to be the biggest flop in TV history" That pretty much covers it.. The premise is these 'pioneers' are going to start their own society from scratch. They sure invented alcohol fast!... This show is for 12 year old's and people that think spitting/pi**ing in a public bathroom is the epitome of humor. They should have Lee Greenwood's "Proud to be an American" as the theme song. If that offends anybody, then you will definitely be offended by this show's portrayal of a representative cross-section of entrepreneurial Americans.It's Jerry Springer goes camping, nothing more.

Utopia places Americans from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds onto a farm for one year with the hopes that they will bond and create a Utopian society. Of course, the program's producers know that no one is going to watch a reality show where people actually get along or are at least civil to one another. So the cast includes people who are certain not to get along...a bible thumper, ex-convict, redneck, sexual predator, tree hugger, air head, peacemaker, misogynist, narcissist. You know, the usual cast of 'Real World' characters which results in non-stop arguing. Unfortunately that's as original as this social experiment gets.
