Arby's sidekick carries out a brutal murder in public, step by step, methodically to instill that fear amongst others. The casual manner of execution almost makes it feel like it's a 9 to 5 job for these guys. This makes rest of them accept the uncertainty of the gas mask, which they know more or less is going to kill them as well. But they want to take that chance of going to sleep because they have seen what the other consequence is. Makes the scene much more sinister and believable... Brilliant writing...

There was something brilliant to the pipe. The first person who died, it was violent, it was sudden, and it was bloody. Suddenly, the gas didn't seem so bad. You were just going to go to sleep is all. Not even approaching you with malice, it's just a gas, it won't hurt you, you'll just sleep. Then the cashier sees the man on the floor with his eyes open. You don't sleep with your eyes open. You can hear him trying to breath out, trying to exhume the gas. It's pointless. So pointless you don't need to see him die. You just know he has. Cue a mundane scene of a man wanting to light a cigarette indoors, guilted to going outside. The same man who just killed three people without flinching. Astounding.

One of the most Iconic british series ever. And sadly one of the most unknown and underrated. I honestly think the first season finale is perfect. The second season was almost as good as the first, but that ending was begging for a 3rd season that now will never come. The first season is a masterpiece of moral ambiguity. And is probably the most stylized series I've ever seen, from photography to music. This should be enough to sell anyone on watching Utopia. and if it isn't, then it might just not be for you. If you like this, you'll love the series. Believe me when I say is no style over substance. Is style plus substance.

Not to mention The Network didn't even care how many people they were killing to get the comic and send out Janus, there was nothing positive about them.

this is such an amazing way to start a show, every line is acted amazing, and this scene sets up so much, im gonna go over some of my favorite lines in this scene because i wanna "Can I go, can I just go please?" I love this because it's delivered so well and is incredibly realistic, this man just watched someone get murdered in front of him, and freezing up, begging his now captors to let him go, not having any cool moment where he takes down the robbers, like most real people there's just fear. "Where is Jessica Hyde?" Pietre says this authoritatively and calmly. Not normally scary, but considering Lee just murdered a man this is terrifying. He continues to ask this until Lee decides it's enough and just kills the man. Does an amazing job at creating tension behind the name of a character we don't yet know. "I'm gasping... I'll light it outside" Absolutely hilarious delivery. Also establishes a character trait that comes into play near the end of the episode and saves Wilson's life. "Don't put the gas away yet" My favorite line in this scene by far. Does an amazing job at establishing the soullessness of Pietre and the ruthlessness of The Network.

He’s scared because he noticed it was also put on that guys mouth, and we know the British have poor mouth hygene
Damn. Great catch.
No shit
Not only did he realize, he started exhaling to try and breathe out the gas. You can see Lees hand sealing the mask to his mouth. The attention to detail in this show is nutty.
the part where the guy says "can i just leave please can i just .. go" with the look in his face actually gives me full body chills and extreme anxiety every time
"can i just leave please can i just .. go" Why did you ask? Run like hell, man!
@JimR Fairly realistic scenario, most people when faced with mortal danger tend to just freeze up, some run those with some training or a duty/expectation to do something (like cops or emergency workers in general) will actively resist or act against whatever force is happening because they tend to be the ones to take charge of these sorts of situations out in the real world. A group of nerdy, underconfident young men/kids in a comic store aren't going to be capable enough to take charge and would probably react in this way.
@jimr5703... because he's BRITISH
Arby's sidekick carries out a brutal murder in public, step by step, methodically to instill that fear amongst others. The casual manner of execution almost makes it feel like it's a 9 to 5 job for these guys. This makes rest of them accept the uncertainty of the gas mask, which they know more or less is going to kill them as well. But they want to take that chance of going to sleep because they have seen what the other consequence is. Makes the scene much more sinister and believable... Brilliant writing...

There was something brilliant to the pipe. The first person who died, it was violent, it was sudden, and it was bloody. Suddenly, the gas didn't seem so bad. You were just going to go to sleep is all. Not even approaching you with malice, it's just a gas, it won't hurt you, you'll just sleep. Then the cashier sees the man on the floor with his eyes open. You don't sleep with your eyes open. You can hear him trying to breath out, trying to exhume the gas. It's pointless. So pointless you don't need to see him die. You just know he has. Cue a mundane scene of a man wanting to light a cigarette indoors, guilted to going outside. The same man who just killed three people without flinching. Astounding.
I think it was less a guilt thing about lighting a cigarette and more the fact that he was standing next to leaking gas so lighting one would have exploded him
@@red-hot would've caused the whole building to explode
You forgot about "dont put the gas away yet" Best part of the scene in my opinion
The gas is argon. You don't starve for air like you do when you hold your breath or breath co2. You just calmly die for lack of oxygen. Your body can't tell the difference.
I think the first kill with the pipe is to assert dominance. If he started with the gas, I think they would just freaked out, not scared freeze.
The actors of the shop-workers give such underrated performances here, you really feel their fear.
One of the most Iconic british series ever. And sadly one of the most unknown and underrated. I honestly think the first season finale is perfect. The second season was almost as good as the first, but that ending was begging for a 3rd season that now will never come. The first season is a masterpiece of moral ambiguity. And is probably the most stylized series I've ever seen, from photography to music. This should be enough to sell anyone on watching Utopia. and if it isn't, then it might just not be for you. If you like this, you'll love the series. Believe me when I say is no style over substance. Is style plus substance.
They're remaking it
yes it was, probably my fave show ever
Season 1 was amasterpiece of moral ambiguity? Bruh, Janus would end up killing the entire human race, ever seen Children of Men? Imagine that but way worse as the world would probably find out that Janus can't be reversed. Humanity wouldn't have time to grow old and wither away, we'd definitely find a way to speed up our expiration date. Not to mention The Network didn't even care how many people they were killing to get the comic and send out Janus, there was nothing positive about them.
I'm looking for intersting British series's it should be on Netflix or Amazon prime.
I think the series closed perfectly. I mean. Sometimes leaving some bits is better than throwing them away (the way it finishes the stories of 15 characters in 50 minutes perfectly is delicious. And the fact they didn't just show how Wilson murdered all of them despite we know he obviously did makes it really more frightening, even more considerimg it's done just a second after rIan discovered the "cure" for Debby's disease and she killed herself one minute before he came with the answer and he could miraculously save her life). Seriously. A masterpiece. It was able to make a perfect implicit finale
I love how they tell you exactly what’s going on in the first five minutes, but I still spent most of the series confused. Brilliant writing
Yeah, british shows can always write the perfect "helpless victims who wait for death like sheet at the slaughterhouse" scenes. Almost as if they were so used to this being the norm.

Just watched the remake, and wish I've heard of this before because I would've watched the original first. I'm American, and most shows I've ever watched that were a remake of a UK show was shit compared to it's source. For example, when I watched Shameless, I saw the UK version first, and loved it because I am poor, and live in a rough area so it was interesting to see how they cope with that over in the UK. I really liked the version of Utopia that I saw, so I can't wait to see the original, but watching it second sux because of spoilers. Anyway, much love to my Brothers & Sisters over in UK & Ireland, your cultures are cool. ✌

Truly groundbreaking television,the colour palette, imagery,shooting style, graphics have already been copied in many so called visionary tv programmes.I urge anyone to buy the DVD set so you can watch it in its full uncensored glory.(I also own both vinyl soundtracks which are fantastic!)
Lee and Arby working together or being as a character duo is fucking terrifying. Even if you separate them, they’re still scary on their own. Like how Arby (Pietre) single-handedly killed a fully armed SWAT team to save the protagonists in S2 E2, while Lee kills Ian’s boss while still acting sane and playful but still made a bit of a mess to cover it up in S2 E3.
Amazon prime introduced me to this show. It is amazing that this came out in 2013. It is chilling to watch it during the pandemic. Amazon remake wasn’t too bad (since I don’t expect much from TV shows) until I watched the first episode of this.
the amazon remake is not good at all, jessica is edgy to be quirky, the network is bad because why not, and just generally much worse

After finishing the show this scene doesn't have the same impact. However... the bunny at the ending becomes 10x creepier
Wait why? I finished the show and I don't remember the bunny in it at all, well apart from the alias.
you can also see the fact that Arby is eating raisins... a little easter egg maybe?
his name isn't Arby, its RB... raisin boy. its not an easter egg. its a recurrent thing throughout the entire series
I mean, Wikipedia spells his name as Arby, but: "Arby's name is later revealed to be initials for "Raisin Boy", with his real name being Pietre." So his name when first introduced IS Arby, but the reveal is that it's actually RB, which is an alias. So you're right about the depth, but wrong about the name.
Who is Mr. Rabbit?
The scene nailed me to the screen. Was even better then the opening scene of "Lost".
Perfect way to open this show. It has every trait that the rest of the show has. Mystery, style, violence, conspiracy, it’s brilliant.
Gives me chills every time I watch this. Utopia is one of the very few shows that I can see myself re-watching multiple times.
Sadly I have just started watching this. My mind is blown!!! The British version naturally. I cannot believe I missed such an innovative, beautiful... At times super brutal show!! And then the Americans tried and failed to make their own version and I didn't even bother! .....
I watched this opening scene 3 years ago while trying to find a light Australian office comedy of the same name based around how Australian democratic politics and weakness for office fads and new technology which is not necessarily an improvement worsens infrastructure planning. The comic book store owners passivity in going to his death was at that point the most chilling thing I had ever seen. I just finished season one of this Utopia, it's pretty good.
I just LOVE the way the paper slowly opens up
If this doesn't get you interested in watching UTOPIA, don't bother.

your thinking the drawing is her names spelling and your wrong, the drawing gave Kristof the idea for the name, but the spelling did not stay the same, the spelling is "hyde" as seen in the credits in every episode shes a character in.

Love the music for this show too; it’s so weird and uncanny yet almost hauntingly familiar, it’s great when music is that effective in adding to a scene that it leaves a profound effect.
Such a great period of creativity in TV and music during that period in the U.K., miss those days.
thank you pyro for introducing me to this series
Watched this because I saw the trailer for the US Utopia and I wanted to check this out before I watched it. Needless to say I doubt I'm ever gonna watch the US one now.
Where can I watch the serie?
@@sergioortiz778 Amazon, it's incredible.
this tv series has the most beautiful color choices I've ever seen.
This series is A graphic novel Dressed up as a tv series and its amazing
im looking forward to the next episodes
that guys reminds me Takeshi Kitano eating cookies in Battle Royale and Anton Chighur methods of killing in No country for old Men
DJ Avel explain more please
One of the best series first scene and one of the best series.
Brilliant drama. The storyline and the violent scenes you couldn't get away with today.
Sono totalmente impazzito per questa serie. Non ho ancora trovato una puntata brutta, noiosa o prevedibile. Mi sembra strano che ancora non sia arrivata in Italia. Forse sono un po frettoloso, ma credo che sia la serie dell'anno.
Purtroppo la conosce pochissima gente :(
Però nella seconda serie hanno già fatto una cavolata gli sceneggiatori :\

This is the best show ever
I still rave to anyone about this show. Awesome
This show looks awesome
La escena final del conejo me ha conquistado, voy a verla!
Great series :)
Welcome back. We know this isn't your first time here.
The acting in this scene is actually really well done
Lmao can’t believe Amazon saw this and genuinely thought “yeah, we can make a better version of this show”
epic show
So amazing to see the comment section lit up so recent for a clip uploaded in 2013! Kelly and Donnelly did such an incredible job with this show. I can't say that I'd ever watch the remake but I think its more than obvious plenty of us would binge season three.
If there only ever existed the Amazon version of this show, i would have enjoyed it. I sawe this when it orginally came out, and it eviscerates the Amazon show in every single way imaginable. Just wish we had got to see it in its unswervingly beautiful yet brutally intense entirety.
I’ve watched Pyro’s video 2 times and this intro with no commentary still gives me the chills…
Does anyone know if there is some script available to learn how the story was supposed to end?
Amazon reportedly ordered a remake! Just read anbout it, best day ever.
David Pape omfg are you serious? Dont play with my feelings
卐AsTyG look it up I didnt believed it myself and was hyped for the cancelled HBO remake because of the unfullfilling ending
David Pape i just did and am so excited for even the trailer because im in ŁÔVÊ with this show but theres a problem grant probably grew up i think their gonna replace him
David Pape i just did and am so flipping excited for even the trailer because i’m in love with this show but theres a problem grant probably grew up i think their gonna replace him
"Don't put the gas away yet" Fuck me, man. I watched the show on Amazon before I saw the Uncut version, what a fucking brutal punch to your system. I fucking love this show.
When they come for you, and they will, always, always make them work for it.
Sad it took me so long to see this.
But happy that you got to find it at all. It's a hidden gem.
I like how he just asks politely to leave after witnessing a dude get his brains bashed in and all he can say is "oh no" lol great dark humor Edit- lmao I saw this way before Pyrocynicals video made this show blow up
Your edit is obvious because you posted this comment 1 year ago.
Wasnt really meant to be humorous, just realistic. It makes sense that someone would instantly freeze up after suddenly witnessing something like that. The lack of rational thinking let's him naively believe that the tank will only put him to sleep because of how welcoming Lee is about it and because it's not as violent as what he just saw
I've seen this video like 10 times, and I've never noticed until now that there was a kid underneath that table. Like how did I even miss that?
Almost everyone i've told to watch this series stopped after S1E1, couz they could't handle this scene. XD
that’s why you should always carry.
Everything working as intended. (They're government goons btw)
the most epic show ever, with top soundtrack, no contest :D
Utter hyperbole.
this is such an amazing way to start a show, every line is acted amazing, and this scene sets up so much, im gonna go over some of my favorite lines in this scene because i wanna "Can I go, can I just go please?" I love this because it's delivered so well and is incredibly realistic, this man just watched someone get murdered in front of him, and freezing up, begging his now captors to let him go, not having any cool moment where he takes down the robbers, like most real people there's just fear. "Where is Jessica Hyde?" Pietre says this authoritatively and calmly. Not normally scary, but considering Lee just murdered a man this is terrifying. He continues to ask this until Lee decides it's enough and just kills the man. Does an amazing job at creating tension behind the name of a character we don't yet know. "I'm gasping... I'll light it outside" Absolutely hilarious delivery. Also establishes a character trait that comes into play near the end of the episode and saves Wilson's life. "Don't put the gas away yet" My favorite line in this scene by far. Does an amazing job at establishing the soullessness of Pietre and the ruthlessness of The Network.
An accurate portrayal of the current and ongoing WEF/UN/WHO narrative 🤔
😂amazing what twitter has done to your brain absolute brainrot to the highest degree. I'm sure you have sources to back up your amazing claim?
@@lukasxss1794Ironic considering brain rot is a term more fitting for someone who legitimately believes that tight knit organized wealthy elite who greatly benefit in power from negatively effecting the general populations health couldn’t possible have and commit to an agenda that does just that.
This is so our world right now
How so?
People been tricked into killing themselves voluntarily. The predictive programming in this film is just beyond disrespectful.
@@itzalejandro210 Nobody in pur world is being tricked into killing themselves. Wheres your proof for this? Actual proof, not just your feelings.
@@jarlsterra so you have been double jabbed as per your government health advice?
@@itzalejandro210 As per my own free will and ability to reason with logic unlike yourself.
Greatest show
They had set the bar for serial TV quality so high.
Everyone asks "Where is Jessica hyde". But no-one asks: "How is Jessica Hyde"
