The Utopia audience understand the importance of serious TV documentaries like this.

[Raida]

"I intend to be stern..." he delivers a line so well

[Munrubenmuz]

'What about us?'
'Who's 'us'?'
'Taxpayers'
'What have they got to do with it?'.

Yep!

[noahmurphy]

Yes minister/prime minister finally has competition for the most accurate documentary series about government.

[NickJohnCoop]

Worst part is that it goes on no matter whose in government.

[thatsbollox]

lol he's good..."make no mistake i intend to be stern....but i think we need to proceed cautiously". Luv it.

[Choada]

This show was 100% more accurate than tv news.

[mikeclement]

I know it's billed as satire... but I think we all know that it's reality.

[greebj]

And down here at the bottom of the food chain it is inverted - to convert a minor speeding fine to an Official Warning and avoid paying any fine - an admission of guilt is required

[sbarmiueenl]

The greatest joke about all this, is that it's supposed to be satire!

[johnboxxy]

I think a corporate apology means so much more when it has sincere and or heartfelt in front of it .

[tamtam]

Utopia was the best documentary ever made.

[Ozvideo]

I miss Utopia already. Working Dog should make more episodes per season. 13 episodes per season would be nice.

[tenou]

I wish I could laugh at this incredibly well done satire.
But I'm crying at how accurate it actually is. People in way too many countries do NOT go to government to effectively serve - they go for easy paychecks and lazy working conditions.

[melbjohn]

"Lessons will be learned" .... on repeat

[butterflynsoul]

Oh the accuracy of this. Chilling when you know that's exactly the way it rolls. Every. Single. Day.

[AndyFahey]

If these guys ever start giving out Lotto numbers I am all in.

[SunWarrior]

"What about us?"
"Who?"
"Taxpayers?"
"What have they got to do with it?"
Would be funny if it weren't so accurate... still pretty funny though😂

[Deschutron]

This is why I'm always touched whenever an internet celebrity apologises for anything.
I'm just not used to it.

[REXOB]

Anytime an apology includes the words "out of an abundance of caution" it means that they totally weren't paying attention.
