Plot
The story follows a small group of people who find themselves in possession of a manuscript of a cult graphic novel called "The Utopia Experiments", which is rumoured to have predicted the worst disasters of the last century. This leads them to be targeted by a government organisation known only as 'The Network', which they must avoid to survive
I've seen the three parts of six so far. Dark, funny, extremely cold but thankfully appropriately warm at times - Has the hitmen from kill list, and a few other smart actors - the irish girl is all kinds of green eyed cute. Is a conspiracy thriller that surely has been in the making this past ten years, fermenting way in the minds of observers of conspiracy culture. It manages to hit the right balance between paranoid and plausible.
Very highly recommended

Just finished watching the second season of this. Best thing I've seen in god knows how long. Pretty much every deep political theme discussed here is used as part of the plot and narrative structure. And the beauty of it is that the bad guys have a point, twisted and evil as it might be..
Fantastic television - funny, shocking, and beautifully shot. Get up on this shit

Some of the violence is comic book and very shocking but the dry humor of the lead characters makes up for the otherwise bleak subject matter.
I'd love to read others feedback on the show - to restate: it's one of the most RI shows I've ever seen and I think if anyone here is looking for TV shows to watch, this would cater to most of their interests

I thought it was pretty good, but I usually do like Charlie Brooker's stuff. Just realised I have nothing at all to say about it though. It was pretty good.
