Utopia Trailer Is One Part Apocalypse, Two Parts Acid Trip
Utopia is one part apocalyptic nightmare, two parts acid trip adventure. From Gillian Flynn, the author of Gone Girl and Sharp Objects, the eight-episode conspiracy thriller follows a cultish group of diehard fans of a comic book series, Utopia, who realize the catastrophic events predicted in comics are actually coming true, such as a pandemic that kicks off the end of the world — yeah, it's a little close to home, but the show looks so good that we're still into it.In order to save the world, the comic book fans — played by Ashleigh LaThrop, Dan Byrd, Jessica Rothe, Desmin Borges, and Javon Walton — team up with an expert on the virus (played by Rainn Wilson).
