Utopia - the 2013 conspiracy theory spy drama. It's bold and striking. The music, visual style, writing. Even the recaps - you know, the "previously..." bit. What other show has notable recaps?

Watch the first scene. It doesn't need any of that "give it a few episodes" nonsense. You'll know within the first scene if you want to stick with it.
