Wilson Wilson is now sitting uncomfortably in Arby’s former seat, while Arby – right down to stealing some of her lines – is the gang’s new Jessica Hyde (or at least pretending to be until he can trade them all in for Tess and little Amanda).Ĭrucially, Team Manuscript now includes Philip Carvel, who’s the key to Becky’s disease, and likely the only person who knows what adjustment he made to Janus before it goes on global release. The difference this time around is the change in player positions. With the gang back on the run, rippling with suspicion, and batting away the swarm of question marks flying around their heads, this was Utopia as we know and love it.
UTOPIA SERIES SERIES
Never one to rush, even with a gun pointed at his head or a victim spurting like Monty Python’s Black Knight all over his crime scene, he ushered us nastily in to an episode that felt closer to series one than the previous instalment. Lee’s soft-spoken, genial approach to villainy is pure Utopia comical, nasty and unsettling. The sharp-suited psycho opened the episode by committing the most unfazed, unflappable TV murder since Lorne Malvo left our screens.
Some mysteries, we suppose, need to be saved for a potential third series – if, that is, Lee survives for that long on Arby’s shit list.
Of the many riddles we’ve been set by Utopia’s Sphinx-like second series, one is yet to be asked: what’s Lee’s story? Episode three belonged to Paul Ready’s hit man in the acid yellow suit, but unlike Arby and Jessica, we still don’t know the first thing about his origins.
