In the tradition of The Hollowment, Utopia is set in the offices of the fictional "Nation-Building Authority" -- a semi autonomous government authority charged with co-ordinating and facilitating infra-structure on behalf of the government. It pits a pragmatist (Tony -- Rob Sitch, head of the NBA) and a realist (Nat -- Celia Pacquola) against self centred spin-doctors (Rhonda -- Kitty Flanagan, media manager) and (Jim -- Anthony Lehmann government liaison). The plot;ines of each episode usually revolve around the two "doers" trying to actually get a project started and in motion set against the spin doctors quite narrow agendas of producing over-hyped media events and distracting "new ideas". These storylines are set within a public-service type office filled with other characters who are either barely competent at their roles or easily distracted with all sorts of HR issues, WHS or professional development things going on in the background. The comedy is very sophisticated and usually revolves around Tony or Nat's endless frustrations and "face-palms" -- real or implied. Brilliant. Superb!Read full review
