I can't help but see the
Utopia
remake
as a
tacky display
.
Its launch in the middle of the COVID crisis gave me chills.
The one that had been one of the most anticipated television projects for years, saw the light at the worst moment.
I ignore the gears, agreements or pressures (or errors) that led Amazon to
release precisely that series at precisely that moment
, but I will tell you one thing: if I stopped watching it in the middle of the second episode, it was not only because of how mediocre it seemed to me. .
Its theme made me sick
: a virus, a pandemic, a conspiracy, a fake vaccine ... Even having seen (and, at first, having adored) the original British series,
the North American's narrative made me extremely uncomfortable.
I am not aware of any other series whose premiere has suggested adjectives to me that I did not know could be applied to that, to a television premiere:
clumsy, insensitive, insulting, heartless, disrespectful
.
So much so that I fully understand his media contempt: who in their right mind would want to talk in 2020 about the geek recession of a story of murderous pandemics?
To me, certainly not.
The
Utopia
of Gillian Flynn and Amazon was one of the projects with more expectations of 2020
and the way in which he turned his back, one of the news-no-news more comentables of last year.
On the other hand, we could see the whole thing as an elegant way to throw away a series whose very existence could be described as clumsy,
insensitive, insulting, heartless and disrespectful.
Seen like this ...
