Episode 1
When five strangers from an online comic book forum agree to meet after gaining possession of the original manuscript for the cult graphic novel 'The Utopia Experiments', they find themselves pursued by a shadowy organisation known as The Network who are in pursuit of the manuscript — and they are prepared to kill to track it down.
If you are in search of a comedic yet insightful look into the complexities and frustrations of bureaucracy, then 'Utopia' (AU) might just be the TV series for you. Set within the offices of a newly created government organization called the 'Nation Building Authority', Utopia offers viewers an up-close and personal view of how major infrastructure projects are handled. From new roads and rail lines to airports and urban developments, this series unveils what goes on behind closed doors of such organizations.
Produced by Working Dog Productions, Utopia premiered on ABC in August 2014. The show revolves around a tight-knit team tasked with guiding enormous building schemes from announcement to unveiling. But as they navigate constant shifts in priorities and balance long-term visions with short-term gains, their journey is anything but smooth, resulting in well-designed white elephants instead.
The main characters include Tony Woodford (Rob Sitch), Jim Gibson (Anthony Lehmann), Nat Russell (Celia Pacquola), Scott Byrnes (Dave Lawson), Rhonda Stewart (Kitty Flanagan), among others. These characters bring life to the series with their unique personalities and experiences, creating a dynamic environment filled with laughter and unexpected turns.
