Utopia


I've really been enjoying Utopia on Channel 4 (Tuesdays at 10pm); it's ridiculous (but it knows it's ridiculous), it's ultra-violent (which is upsetting all the right people) and it's only six episodes long (so it's not going to do a Lost).

It is also gorgeous to look at, which even its critics have to admit. One thing that may be overlooked is the music used in the show. I'm not sure if you can call this the theme tune but it does crop up regularly and is pretty darn strange. Just like Utopia. 


Memorex

I think this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen; I want to dream it every night.
