'Utopia' (or why graphic novels are the Best Thing Ever)

 You've seen the posters. You've watched the trailers. You've set the reminders on your iPhone. Perhaps, like me, you've even been dreaming about it. 

Either way, on Tuesday 15 January the new conspiracy thriller from Kudos and Channel 4 hits UK screens, as new series Utopia prepares to introduce us to a world where shady criminal organisations and geeky comic book fans clash. 

At the centre of C4's new supernatural show is a graphic novel called 'The Utopia Experiments', and a mysterious company called The Network who will do anything to get hold of it. Rumour has it that the book depicts world events before they happen. Imagine that Nostradamus and Mark Millar got together and started scribbling - 'The Utopia Experiments' would be the result. 

If you haven't yet caught the trailers, check them out here - then forward the link on to every person you have ever met.

Future Obsession Numero 2 - Misfits Series Four

Words cannot express how excited I am. After last year's explosive (and heartbreaking!) series finale, E4's superhero saga Misfits will be returning for its fourth series in a few weeks time.

And I for one can't wait. 

The end of series three may have led to a radical cast change, but we'll be introduced to a new superpower team (along with loveable faces like Curtis and Rudy) in the next few weeks. 

And the genius mind of Howard Overman seems to have come up with a dazzling range of supernatural foes to keep us on our seats in weeks to come. With rumours that a biker version of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will be making an appearance, it seems that the series is set to retain its crown as the Best Superhero Show Ever Made (sorry, Heroes). 

Check back over coming weeks for more info!
