After a group of people, who meet online, discover a bizarre graphic novel which seems
to hold mysterious answers, they find themselves being tracked down by a merciless
organization known merely as 'The Network'.
A community of comic book fans believe the graphic novel The Utopia Experiments predicted several disastrous epidemics, such as BSE. A rumoured unpublished sequel supposedly contains further information on future world events. When one Utopia enthusiast procures the manuscript, he invites four of his friends from an online forum to meet in real life. However, after getting their hands on the manuscript, the four — Ian, Becky, Wilson, and Grant — find themselves in over their heads, as a secret organisation only known as "The Network" is after it. They find their lives systematically dismantled, while Network operatives kill anyone in their way as they hunt for the manuscript and someone named Jessica Hyde.
Jessica, who has been on the run from The Network her entire life, meets with the group and helps them evade capture. Meanwhile, other characters find themselves ensnared in The Network's orbit, and through their interactions with its agents, the organisation's purpose and secret plot come into focus. The closer people come to understanding what's truly going on, the more dangerous things become. As rumors of "Russian flu" proliferate worldwide and a variety of groups and individuals close in on the protagonists, they try to solve the web of mysteries and conspiracies around them.
Amazon has since gained the rights to the series as of April 2018, and an American version
of the show was in production throughout 2019, and was released on the 25th of September 2020.

On Rotten Tomatoes, the series holds an approval rating of 57% based on 28 reviews, with an average rating of 6.25/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Utopia's cast and mystery at times transcend its overtly cynical and overly violent tendencies, but even those willing to look past the torture may find the whole thing too timely—in a bad way.
